Fairtrade

When following a healthy diet that doesn't impact on the environment we need to know when is it best to choose organic, fairtrade and local. Fairtrade choices are better for the farmer, support the grower's community and often incorporate organic principles.

Some of my top articles include Ethical Raw Chocolate Brownie, So Simple Pumpkin Spiced Latte and Medicinal Dark Chocolate Bark - Three Ways.

So Simple Pumpkin Spiced Latte

By 1 Comment

This simple pumpkin spiced latte will get you excited to get out of bed in the morning, and it is a great low-sugar alternative to what’s available in coffee shops. It is dairy free, gluten free, and packed full of nutrition. Make your own creamy cashew milk by blending cashews in a blender, no straining required!

It’s hard to not get caught up in all the pumpkin spiced hype. Coffee shops have been on the band-wagon even before the leaves started to turn. Now that October is almost here, I think it is fair to start filling the kitchen with pumpkin spiced everything. I used to love enjoying a Pumpkin Spiced Latte at a coffee shop, but I now know that they are so loaded with sugar and so not worth the post-latte crash. This healthier alternative to the sugar-loaded versions will have you surprisingly pleased, and all from the comfort of your cosy couch. I’m sure that this Simple Pumpkin Spiced Latte will turn out to be a regular in your autumn morning routine, just like it has in mine.

Medicinal Dark Chocolate Bark Three Ways [Vegan, GF]

By 3 Comments

This post for Dark Vegan Chocolate Bark Made Three Ways is sponsored by iHerb. As always the opinons are absolutly my own.

For me, nothing compares to the dedication and ingenuity of a homemade DIY Christmas Gift. The reducing, reusing and repurposing helps lessen our environmental footprint during this season of excess. Some take advantage of their handy nature, while others zone in on their crafty skills, but for me, I often gift edible Christmas presents which has included Peanut Butter Energy Balls or Toasted Muesli In a Jar in the past. This Medicinal Dark Vegan Chocolate Bark Made Three Ways is made using maple syrup and real cocoa butter for the authentic chocolate taste. Some of my favourite flavour combinations for this Chocolate Bark include Peppermint and Toasted Coconut, Cherries and Toasted Almonds, and Coffee and Cacao Nibs. This Christmas I’ve also added a little medicine (or some may say magic) to this bark for a truly healthy start to the New Year.
