Tropical Smoothie Bowl

I know. It's always better to eat local and seasonal foods. But I'm a bit spoiled and so I love tropical fruit as well. I could eat banans and mangoes every single day - on their own or in the form of this amazing smoothie bowl :) 

vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, eggs free, nuts free, no added sugar, raw

Raw Buckwheat Bars

Raw bars are perfect for those moments when you really crave something sweet of you just need to banish hunger fast. Basically you can make these bars from anything - the base is usually made from dried fruit (dates, plums, figs, raisins ..) and you can choose the other ingredients completely according to your taste. You can experiment with different types of nuts, grains like oats, millet or buckwheat, you can add cacao, vanilla, cinnamon ... Just be creative! This recipe is my favourite - it's gluten and peanuts free and it has strong taste of walnuts and buckwheat.

Fresh Green Summer Salad

I fell in love with sprouting. You can sprout almost anyt grains (buckwheat, rice, oat ..) and legumes (lentils, chickpeas, peas ..). You just have to soak them overnight, then rinse and let them sprout in a container. Then you have to rinse them few times a day so they won't become moldy. And few days lates you have something you can eat on its own or add it into a sald :) Sprouts are some of the most healthiest things you can eat. They're more nutritious than the legumes and grains in its "dry" form and they're full of vitamin C. And you can use them in many recipes :)

(Almost) Raw Coconut Chocolate Cake

There's one great thing about raw cakes - you can't spoil them so much that they'd be inedible. Few times I've created something that I wasn't able to pull out of the cake form - so asthetically it wasn't the best .. but the taste was amazing anyway. You can do any raw vegan cheesecake according this simple recipe - make the crust from soaked dates and oats or soaked nuts (or any combination). Use coconut milk instead of cream cheese for the next layer. To make it a bit thicker, add some cornstarch. You can add some cacao, vanilla or blend the milk with fruit. And then just put it into a fridge or a freezer and wait!

My 5 Top Smoothies

Lately I've been falling in love with smoothies for breakfast - guess the spring is really comming. I don't crave my warm oatmeal anymore and I prefer smoothie that gives me a lot of energy due to the fresh fruit. In this post I'd like to share with you my 5 top favourite smoothie recipes :)

Poppy Smoothie Bowl

On Friday I got the results of my blood tests, according that I have dairy allergy. I already noticed my skin gets worse when I consume more dairy products and I feel much better when I avoid dairy. On the other hand, almost everything contain at least a little milk and I didn't avoid it completely. Recently I was eating quite a lot of milk chocolate, for breakfast I used to have yogurt sometimes and for lunch (because I was too lazy to cook) I used to go to local vegetarian restaurant - where almost every meal I had contained dairy ... Anyway now when I know officially, I should remove dairy from my diet completely. So I plan to try new types of plant-based milk. They can be made from different nuts, grains, seeds and they have different specific tastes and also different nutritional values - some of them are higher in fat, others are higher in carbs etc. In this breakfast recipe I used poppy seeds milk. Poppy seeds contain iron, calcium, magnesium, mmanganese and other health-promoting substances. It improves skin quality, hair growth,strenghten bones, boost imunity .. So why don't you get a pack of health in the morning ? :)

(Last-Minute) RAW Holiday Treats

Last year I got caught by the Christmas mood in the beginning of fall. I bought and wrapped the gifts in the middle of November, I baked the holiday treats in advance and I spent the rest of the Advent time by watching fairytales in TV and drinking a lot of cups of hot chocolate. This year it's absolutely different. A week ago I didn't have almost any gift, we're going to buy the Christmas tree today and I'm making the Christmas treats just now, few days before the Christmas Eve. If you share these feelings and you try to find recipes for some last-minute christmas sweets, these RAW balls (and squares) are the perfect solution :)

Last time our family quite fell in love with zucchini. I didn't use to like but in this salad it tastes great. And if you cut it into little slices with scraper, you may not even recognize that it's zucchini :)
