End Of Season Mango Favourites.
Mango season is almost over and we need to make the most of the last few mangoes in our stores!
I am committing to using local and seasonal produce when I’m cooking, and that is why I usually end up experimenting a lot with different dishes that I could possibly add mango to! Here is a compilation of my three favorite mango recipes that I created this summer, each very different, but all are simple to make and full of colorful, nourishing ingredients.
1. Mango, pomelo and avocado salad
This is the ultimate seasonal salad- and the three stars -the tart pomelo, the sweet mango and the creamy avocado complement and contrast one another. The tangy ginger dressing brings this all together.
2. An illustrated guide to my all-time favourite mango smoothie bowl!
We always love coming up with different styles of creating recipes for our community, and we enjoy making these easy-to-follow illustrated recipe postcards so much!
This is a step-by-step guide on how to make a delicious and wholesome mango smoothie bowl, filled with the goodness of ginger and cucumber! You can click here to download the PDF version of the guide so you can keep it and print it- and our idea is that you send The PDF or print out over to a friend who you think might enjoy making this! :)
3. Alphonso mango and ginger vegan ‘cheesecakes’
We were so happy that Grazia featured our step by step recipe on these little vegan ‘cheesecakes’ - the perfect way to utilise the last few mangoes or you can use chunks of mangoes that you have frozen!
These vegan cheesecakes are full of whole, nourishing, good-for-you ingredients & they are high in healthy fats, protein and antioxidants!

Ordering food in on a daily basis seems like the best option after a long and busy day but can have a less-than-ideal impact on your health and on the environment. As well as excess salt and preservatives, and the promotion of less healthy options, the plastic packaging involved ends up in landfill and increases wastage of food. We present to you the #copperandcloveschallenge !!!
Grains are a staple part of our Indian diet, however a number of processed, refined white grains have found their way into our lives. It's incredibly important for us to look into the health implications of this.
It's time we talk about fats! The truth is that fats have been heavily misunderstood and it’s time we rethink limiting them in our diets.
Our focus should not be on cutting down our fat intake, but instead we need to think about the type of fat that we are consuming.
It’s all about finding balance.
In order to help you move towards your healthiest self, you need to understand which foods to eat but also how frequently and in what quantities.
This third practice that we wanted to talk about is finding your dietary balance with a conversation about macronutrients and the right portion sizes.
When you think about what you ate yesterday or two week ago, how different has the food on your plate been? Often-time we may be tempted to stick to a few fruits & vegetables that are family favourites and fall into a routine. But the truth is that diversity is a good thing, particularly for our gut!
The first practice we wanted to talk about is how you eat and think about food, rather than what you eat.
Mindful eating means eating with awareness and involves paying attention to your body’s signals. This means allowing yourself to eat when you are hungry and knowing to stop when you are satisfied, eating slowly and consciously, tuning into the flavours and sensations, noticing your thoughts and feelings around food, and connecting with where your food has come from.

Root to stem cooking is not just any trend. It is a mindful and efficient method of cooking that utilises all parts of a plant that usually go to waste.
