Tart and tangy, these baby mangoes are my favourite way to ease into mango season! We have a tree but I used to use store bought ones and they tasted just as good, just look for smallish mangoes that are still hard and green.
Tahini and sweet orange cake bites (vegan, gluten-free grain free, plantbased)
Necessity is the mother of invention! This cake came about because I did not have all the ingredients to hand for another recipe, so I had to make some substitutions and it turned out brilliantly. High in protein and full of fibre this is definitely a recipe which will be on repeat in our house!
Green pasta with pesto and pepitas (vegan, plantbased, gluten-free )
Once you’ve tried green pea pasta, you will find it hard to eat corn based pastas again. I love using green pea, red lentil or chickpea pasta as it adds so much nutrition and everyone still gets to eat pasta!

Deep chocolate smoothie (vegan, gluten-free, grain free, plantbased )
The addition of kidney beans makes this smoothie filling, fibre rich and very hormone friendly!
Banana and mint smoothie ( vegan, gluten-free, grain free, plantbased )
I’m really loving ginger and mint iced tea at the moment so decided to put it in a smoothie!
White bean and banana pie/tart (vegan, gluten-free, plantbased )
I really love the chocolate brownies with kidney beans, so I thought why not try a banana and vanilla cake with white beans? Turns out it was a good idea, except this turns out more like a pie than a cake! It reminds me of an old South Afri an favourite called ‘melk tert’ or milk tart.We had two slices each at the first sitting!
Pasta with creamy spinach and tahina sauce (gluten-free, vegan)
To my utter surprise and delight, the kids loved this (4 and 8 years old), they cleaned their plates so this will be making an appearance again as we loved it too!
Warm Sweet potato and beetroot salad with parsley and yoghurt dressing (vegan, gluten-free, grain free, plantbased )
