Snack recipes for vegans & vegetarians

Banana bread is a fantastic way to use up overripe bananas, but the typical recipes are packed to the rafters with sugar, even the vegan ones. So I created this wholefood vegan banana bread recipe. It’s gluten-free, paleo and naturally sweetened. How about that?

These watermelon Christmas trees are the perfect raw treat to take to any party. Frankly they’re so impressive, so delicious and SO easy, I say take them everywhere! And I can tell you from experience, they’re a great way to encourage kids to eat more fruit – my 4yo daughter loves them.

This healthy, homemade, oil free popcorn is fast and easy to make on the stove-top, and also incredibly delicious. It’s also vegan, wholefood and great fun to make with kids. I just love it.

I’ve never eaten bacon often enough to be any kind of expert, but one thing I can tell you for sure – this raw eggplant bacon is delicious! Mmmmm, so crisp and crunchy and packed with flavour.

I didn’t appreciate the importance of this simple raw food staple at first. But do you know just how many things you can put on raw flax crackers? All of them. Seriously. So I’d like to suggest that if you’re trying to eat more raw, or even just a bit healthier, that flax crackers are…
