These energy balls are are perfect snack for a quick energy boost or as a pre-workout snack. They're also decadent enough to double up as a dessert - win win!

They're simple to make, a source of protein and healthy fat, cheaper than ready-made alternatives and contain only 3 plant-based ingredients.

It helps to have a decent blender for the nuts, if you don't have one just sub the nuts for pre-made nut butter, or just take your time blending the nuts and not let your blender over heat. If it starts getting hot and making a terrible screeching sound its probably a sign to stop! (I speak from experience and two blenders later…)

For this recipe I use almonds, but I also make these with peanuts or a mixture of different nuts. Just use what you like best - it's all zen!

Sometimes I add a sprinkle of cinnamon and if I’m feeling extra fancy I will decorate them by rolling in icing sugar, cocoa powder or ground nuts.

Happy baking!

Coffee and Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Coffee and Salted Caramel Cupcakes

These coffee and salted caramel cupcakes were born because I couldn’t decide between baking salted caramel cupcakes or coffee and walnut cakes. So I decided I didn’t have to choose!
I like the coffee flavour to be strong. Hence the 3 teaspoons! If you prefer a more mellow flavour just add a little less – it’s all zen!

Spicy Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup

Spicy Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup

This soup is packed full of flavour – it’s spicy, coconutty and hearty.
I made it with a combination of carrots, sweet potato and butternut squash – but you can make this with your favourite root vegetables, plus adjust the ingredients to make it as spicy or mild as you like!
I like to put a spoon of soy or coconut yogurt through it just before serving to make it extra creamy.
You do you – it’s all zen!
Happy cooking
