What you know about #Jamaican #cormeal #porridge! I know I didn't like it growing up!! Maybe it was the way it was made, a little lumpy with tons of #cow and #condensed #milks. Which I later discovered I was #intolerant too. No wonder I didn't like it.... I've created the most #delicious, lumpfree creamy cornmeal (aka #polenta) porridge using a base of water and finishing with #coconutmilk! I can now say it's one of the best porridges I make and 💘. Sweetened with a little #datepuree and topped with a little ground #flax for extra #omega`s, #protein and #fibre. Another great start to my day 😋 By the way did you know it's also #glutenfree, so great for #celiacs, a good source of protein and fibre as well as #minerals such as #iron, #zinc, #niacin, #potassium and #magnesium! What you waiting for, go get you some right now. But make sure it's #gmfree!!!! #coreoflife, #islandrecipes, #islandfood, #Caribbean, #grits, #soulfood, #ital #plantfood, #plantnutrition, #heathiswealth #plantstrong, #health, #balance, #wellbeing, #vegan, #happiness

How my son and I broke our fast this morning! We ate from the #rainbow (well most of the colours)! #Fruit is a great way to ease your body into the day ahead. It's #nutritious, #hydrating, full of #vitamins, #antioxidants and #fibre so gentle on your #digestive tract. The added peppermint leaves are also #calming on the digestive system and #bowels too, so great for those that suffer with irritable bowel syndrome! Fruits are also natures #fastfood so the next time you're feeling peckish..... #coreoflife, #ibs, #eattherainbow #plantfood, #plantnutrition, #heathiswealth #plantstrong, #health, #balance, #wellbeing, #vegan, #happiness

Fancied some #banana bread for breakfast. So decided to create a recipe replacing my usual #speltflour for #buckwheatflour. The bread is not as light and airy as my usual ones, however it holds really well and is still quite flavoursome. Not to mention it is naturally #gluten free and has a great #aminoacid profile. Not a bad choice as far as breakfast goes! #coreoflife, #breakfast, #veganfood, #plantbased, #plantstrong🌱, #wellbeing, #nourishment, #bananas, #happytummys

Recipe testing again! This time black eye pea bites with homemade tomatoe #relish. What can I say! Definitely one for the pop ups. The bites are light and fluffy with just the right amount of #flavour. No added flour so naturally #glutenfree, #heart healthy and full of #fibre for a healthy gut! As for the #relish, absolutely delish. Full of spice and flavoursome! Not forgetting #antioxidants for a healthy #immune system.

Summer's here (although we are yet to see it in London)! So it's time to change up the breakfast options. Like this #chia and #coconut milk pudding, sweetened with blended cherries. It's a great alternative to porridge, granola, toast or whatever your usual is! Did you know that chia seeds are rich in the overall nutrients needed for health! The “strength” food of the #Aztecs. A source of quality #protein, #fat, #fibre as well as a great source of energy. Enjoy it anytime of the day...

The lovely @preciousvegan_ plating up the main course at the Caribbean pop up on Saturday. Can someone say vegan jerk pulled pork! #coreoflife, #veganfood, #jackfruit, #caribbeanflavor, #plantbasednutrition, #happiness

[re-tr-eats-in-blog]

So yesterday was the launch of the Core of Life`s vegan pop ups. I am so grateful and appreciative to have had the opportunity to share my passion for plantbased nutrition with so many people. We had two event's running simultaneously, the Caribbean pop up inside and a hen party of 16 outside! Staunch meat eaters were treated to vegan delights and pleasently surprised by the flavours, textures and how filling the food was! Those that came to the pop up alone enjoyed great company, great convo as well as great food! Thank you to the `pulled jackfruit squad` @iamwinterrose, @kassa_g, @preciousvegan_ as well as B and Jade for all your help and support 💖 Next pop up coming soon.... #Coreoflife, #plantbased, #vegan, #Caribbean, #nutritious, #popup, #wellbeing
