Come join me over where I’ll soon be launching this gorgeous Super Porridge

This is no ordinary porridge, this is Super Porridge...

Fuelled by our life-long love of porridge & uninspired by the instant variety, we decided to ignite our passion & create an all-natural Organic Super Porridge with 25% Superfoods.

Containing 28 servings 🥣, our substantial 1.4kg packs are loaded with chia seed, h**p seed, flaxseed, pumpkin seed, cacao, almonds, mulberries, goji berries & of course jumbo oats.

An amazing source of protein, high in fibre and UnbelievaBowly good for you.

🤷‍♀️ Of course, it’s plant-based, organic and gluten free 👍🏼

Just real honest food and absolutely NO JUNK! 💩

Give me a thumbs up 👍🏼 if this sounds like you 😋

Good evening fellow facebookers.

So, here is a sneak peak at what is coming. I've been working on these products for months and was due to launch in March and then wallop, Covid. I decided to hold fire so that I could focus on my kids and their home schooling.

I started to get the ball rolling again in September YourUnbelievaBowl and I am just waiting on a machine that will allow me safely and securely seal my packs.

It won't be too long, after which I can order all the lovely ingredients and get myself to work. In the mean time, I'll be sharing with you my wonderful range and going into more detail about how they can help you.

Feel free to check out more at

A little project that I am immensely proud of and may be of interest to you all as it’s still related to health and well-being AND FOOD - need I say more. Sorry, no cakes though 😂
💪
It’s not quite time to shine the light on them just yet but rest assured all products are:

✔️100% natural
✔️certified organic
✔️gluten free
✔️plant-based
✔️high in fibre
✔️an epic source of plant protein
✔️bursting with beneficial nutrients to support good health, with evidence to back it up!
👀
I can’t wait to share, but it has to be just right before I go into any more detail.
🙏🏿
It’s all so VERY exciting. If you loved As Fresh As A Daisy, then you will love my new venture. 🤞
🧘🏻‍♀️
Fancy hanging around for the launch? My Instagram page (tagged in image) is your_unbelievabowl and Facebook is YourUnbelievaBowl - would love to welcome you in either or both.

ZOATS.... Maybe new to some of you... maybe not 👇🏻

What are Zoats?

Firstly, the thought of eating any veg for breakfast has never really tickled my fancy. My love affair with oats is virtually unbreakable.

However, a while back I discovered there's a bit of a new Instagram 'trend' where folk are grating courgette into their porridge or Bircher. Maybe I could combine both!

😱 😱😱😱😱😱😱

Hang in there, don't leave!

Honestly, I tried it with trepidation. I mean, oats... with (RAW) grated courgette...

Seriously?

☀️ Bang on a tambourine! - it's delish!!!!

You can't even taste the courgette (not that it's strong tasting anyway) AND it's such a fab way to get one of your '5 a day,' before you even 👋🏽wave👋🏽 the little rascals 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻through the 📚 school gates.

It's perfect on days where you might like to lower your carb intake, eg, days when you're less active.🕴🛀🏽☔️

I usually have around 60g oats for breakfast but this bowl was made up of the following:

• 40g jumbo oats
• half grated courgette
• homemade almond milk
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• greek yoghurt
• blueberries and pomegranate
• bee pollen
• walnuts

Been enjoying this set up for last few months (and even converted my better half this morning), so it's about time I shared it with you ❤️

⭐️Who's in?
⭐️Who's not?
⭐️Who's tried it?
⭐️Who's willing to try it?

Let me know what you think 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

PS. Zoats is zucchini and oats - see what someone did there! Not my invention however 🙁

Eeeek. So I disappeared off the radar for a while. Sometimes life just gets in the way...

I've been meaning to share a couple of features. I really wanted to share this one about Taekwon-Do and the benefits of it.

Have a read and if you're interested and not local, I'm sure there will be a school near you.

Reflex - UK School of Taekwon-Do - As Fresh As A Daisy Have you ever thought about taking up a Martial Art? We are really lucky to live next to a fabulous school of Taekwondo where both my boys attend. It is called Reflex and this is their website. https://www.reflextkd.com/ Both my boys have a lesson once a week and what I love about this class is it…

• avocado
• radish
• roasted fennel (thanks Sara)

Rice, Lentil & Nut Salad 11/05/2016

🌼 Refuelling tonight with this delicious salad 😃

Looks like it's covered in mayonnaise but oh no that would simply spoil this fresh, natural dish.

Let me know what you're having tonight. ❤️

Rice, Lentil & Nut Salad From the featured post image this Rice, Lentil & Nut Salad looks like a pasta dish but it’s anything but. I love nuts and popping them into a rice and lentil salad like this just turns an ordinary rice/lentil dish into something spectacular. Think crunchy, flavoursome, most definitely filling and fu...

❤️ Who loves nut butter? I now have a shelf devoted to different nut butters and I can't decide which I love the most.

My 2 favourites are probably Pip&Nut and The Nut Roaster's almond butter. Delish.

Can't live without this banana and nut butter pre workout snack.

🌼 Anyone tried Chia Raspberry Jam before?

Completely converted.👏🏻 No need for shop bought jam when it tastes this good.

• 150g raspberries
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp hot water

Blitz it all up and refrigerate for half an hour then bobs your uncle ❤️

My go to 'tea' when my brain refuses to be creative is roasted veg. Never disappoints.

Enjoyed with a Hake fillet. 🐟

Roasted veg included:-

• sweet potato
• aubergine
• courgette
• red onion
• yellow pepper

Drizzled in lots of extra virgin olive oil and popped a couple sprigs rosemary to give it some extra mmmmmmm! ❤️

Any other roast veggie recommendations would be much appreciated because these 5 are my 'go-to' staples. 😜

🌼{5 minute lunch ideas}

So today I didn't know whether to make a winter stew 🌨, a summer ☀️salad, a spring🌤 wrap or an Autumn 🌤 bowl of soup.

The extremes in weather had my head feeling all boingy.

In the end I opted for a quick 💃Greek style salad as I was longing to be back on holiday. So I decided to bring a bit of holiday into my home.

•Cucumber, •red pepper, •red onion, •lettuce, •mint and •feta with 2 partially boiled •eggs plonked on top. 👍🏼

Ok so it's not quite a pure Greek salad but it's my version and it rocks ❤️

Ps the plate is massive. The portion is not as small as it looks 👍🏼

Chickpea Salad 23/04/2016

🌼 Am I going mad or have I posted this before? There's no link via Facebook but it's was launched on web page in March! Totally confused for a Saturday. [Check out my 21st Century problems😉]

Anyway for fear of repeating myself this is my glorious 🍴chickpea salad🍴.

Chickpeas generally don't agree with my digestion 💨 but I'm not one to leave out a power ball such as the .

Perfect for a evening. Oh, it's about to go freeze balls again. ❄️❄️

Regardless.... have a lush weekend whatever you're doing. I'll mainly be keeping 4 kids alive as I'm babysitting my lovely niece and nephew. ❤️

It's Friday and there's no excuse to slack off this weekend. In preparation for 100 percent commitment I've prepared 4 delicious recipes from book. She may only be 17 but her book is incredible. Thanks for the veggie inspiration. I'm always looking for ways to spruce up my side and salad dishes.

🌼 Just died and gone to heaven 😇

That'll be

• mashed sweet potato with almond milk
• pea shoots
• mushrooms fried with garlic and olive oil then sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley
• Looooads of pea shoots
• Roasted tomatoes which I couldn't wait any longer for so weren't really as I'd like. 💥 exploded is best💥

Summery, light, healthy and ever so tasty.

Oooops. Need fat so I aved-a-cado too (camouflaged next to fork).
