Colourful Angel Hair - Vegan Veggies with Rice Noodles

It's been a busy few weeks since returning from Orlando, work, children, kitchen renovation, school nativities, life! You know how it goes , not that i'm complaining of course. Our life may be crazy busy at times, the days just seem to fly away, but our days re always filled with alot of laughter, love, fun and good food!

One of my "go-to" quick go-to meals that we can all eat together - let me tell you, this doesn't happen very often! Not because we're fussy, just due to food allergies etc ) is what we call " Colourful Angel Hair"

It's super easy to make! It's 10 different veggies, we use

Tomatoes
Cabbage
Spinach
Carrots
Onions
Aubergines
Courgettes / Zucchini
Peppers
Kale
Mushrooms

Simply slice them as finely as you can, throw in a pan with coconut oil, and then add Angel Hair Noodles/ Rice noodles! If they're dry you need to soak them first, but we often buy the fresh ones!

Seth will happily eat this, but opeie stuggled to chew the veggies, especially the cabbage, mushrooms and kale, so we make his into a sauce with alittle passata, I simply pop them in the Omniblend for 10-20 seconds , and then add the noodles separately! He absolutely loves it too!  I won't lie, he gets messy, but it's part of the fun! Cheeks covered in sauce are the cutest!

Raw Wednesday - Butternut Squash & Apple Soup | Raw Vegan Soup

Hello Guys!

I've started doing raw Wednesday since I'm making more of an effort to make raw food as it's so good for you, and gives you so much energy in return for alittle prep work.

In your high speed blender, add
1.5 cups butternut squash
1/2 an onion
1 whole cored apple
1/2 cup of nutritional yeast
pinch of salt
herbs that you like best, i used oregano
pinch of pepper
clove of garlic

Blitz for 5-10 minutes on high. 

30 second Raw Carrot Coriander Soup • OmniBlend recipe

From this ^ ...... A cup of coconut milk , 3 washed organic unpeeled carrots , a pinch of cumin, 1/4 of a Kallo vegan stock cube , salt & pepper ....

Pop in the OmniBlend .... Pulse  3 or 4 times.... Blend on high for 3 - 5 minutes depending if you want it hot or warm & raw

I made this yesterday  morning as I felt awful, I think I caught a bug off one of my patients. I came out in a vile rash, flu symptoms, and in the evening nausea. Luckily after loads of vitamin C smoothies I'm better !

OMNIBLEND Blender Review UK with Discount Code Included

BREAKING NEWS: This week I finally got a new blender, not just any blender either! After going through 4 blenders in as many months, and being blender-less for 2 months made me realise that I really needed to do some research into blenders, you may remember the blog post I wrote about being on the search for the perfect blender. Well , now I think I've found it in the amazing OmniBlender!

It arrived on Tuesday right before I was due to go to work,  before I trotted out the front door i made a frozen banana , almond milk, blueberry smoothie which was heavenly- I took it to work, everyone was envious and said how delicious it looked. In the evening I made raw butternut squash Cashew nut soup,- Pauly my fiancee fell in love with this, and wants me to make it again tomorrow! Wednesday I made Tomato & Basil soup for lunch which was amazing, although I free styled it and added too much onion so it was very zinging and potent, Thursday was Passion fruit, Kiwi, Papaya and Mango smoothies to take to work, Thursday I made Protein balls and guacamole - All of them were sooooo quick and simple to make, made me feel like a raw chef in a fancy restaurant. 

Normally ( before I got my OmniBlend I would feel like I was preparing stuff for hours- not anymore - super fast prep! 

I really, really feel that by having the right blender such as the OmniBlend, raw food is made  quick compared to using a food processor or 'kitchen' style blender, normally it takes me 10 minutes to make guacamole, but in the OmiBlend it takes me around 2 minutes! YAY- time saving!

One of the best things I've made is almond milk, super quick and simple. Handful of almonds, no need for soaking, 2 tbsp Agave and water - around 1 litre, and blend for 30 seconds. DONE and super smooth just like the Alpro one I love! 

Compared to other High Speed Blenders:

There isn't much in the way of differences when comparing the OmniBlend compared with the Vitamix, other than the Vitamix takes around 10 seconds less to blend certain things. The other main comparison is the price! The Omni Blend is £219-259 , compared with the Vitamix ranging around £550+ 

The OmniBlend had 6 different settings, 3 speed settings and two preset settings lasting a different amout of time, 30, 60 and 90  seconds, with an option to 'pulse' your ingredients too, I've always had blenders with buttons so I'm used to this, and I  actually prefer this,  to the dial option on some blenders as I feel they're easy to knock but I think the dial version has some pro's as you can start it really slow also, and build up.
