No Bake Fig & Orange Bars

I feel like figs don't get enough love. I mean dried figs don't get enough love. Everybody loves fresh figs--they're tasty on their own, but what about when they're not in season aka the majority of the year? Dried figs are delicious and deserve a healthy recipe focused on them. These vegan no bake fig & orange bars have all of the chewiness and sweetness of traditional Fig Newton cookies, but they’re made with wholesome ingredients.

Dried figs bring nutrition to the bar too—fiber, potassium, calcium, iron, and micro-nutrients. Figs on their own are a great healthy snack with an abundance of nutrients and no fat, cholesterol, or sodium. The fiber in figs means they will help you stay fuller longer and help with digestion.

I love this recipe because it can be made any time of the year since it is made with dried ingredients that can be found in any supermarket. What’s more, No baking is required and little prep time, which is a plus! It’s amazing to me that a dessert this good can be free of refined flour or refined sugar.

2-coloured butterfly bread

There's nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread, don't you agree? I came up with this vegan 2-coloured butterfly bread after trying many times to come up with a new shape for bread. I mean aren’t these butterflies super cute? Honestly, I couldn’t bare to eat them after baking.

There are many different ways of making bread, and this is the easiest method - the straight dough method. Nothing very fancy, just put all the ingredients together, knead to a smooth dough, first proof, shape the bread, second proof, bake, and done! The advantage of this method is really simple and doesn’t take as much time as some other methods. you don’t need any preparation in advance and can start right on spot.

Activated Black Charcoal Smoothie

So charcoal in a smoothie, health benefit or aesthetic benefit? Let’s be real, it’s both. Ever since I started taking food photos I’ve definitely loved jumping on any visually captivating health trends. It’s not just for looks though.

Activated charcoal doesn't have much flavour. What it does have is loads of health benefits and a beautiful, dramatic colour - and who doesn't want that in their smoothie bowls?! Charcoal is also a great detoxifying start to the day and will seriously light up your life. It’s loaded with electrolyte-rich coconut water, antioxidant-packed fruits and mineral-loaded greens.
