Persian loaded toast 🤩 Inspired by the insaneeeee culinary genius of , this one starts with guac on whole meal toast:

Recipe for the guac…

✅ Avocado 🥑
✅ Lemon 🍋
✅ Garlic 🧄
✅ Swear at it gently in Italian to add the final authentic flavour 🤌 to compliment the Persian elements

Then top with Saffron Greek yogurt (found on page 184 of Sabrinas book, Persiana, shown on the next slide), parsley, pomegranate and fresh fig 😋 Its super fresh and fragrant, high in fibre and healthy fats plus it’s really filling.

I’m now low-key obsessed with loaded toast in general, and I’d L O V E to know what you guys like to load yours with! Are you sweet or savoury?! What are your toppings of choice?! I neeeeeddd to know*😍🥰

*it was at this moment I realised I’m probably going to be spending the whole day thinking of food. I am SO OKAY with that 🤩 what a great head space to be in!

Have a gorgeous day you wonderful humans 🥰

Happy Sunday 🌷

Mango, avocado, raspberry and chia smoothie. It’s a fabulously tasty way to get a cheeky morning to midday vit-hit 😋 You can’t really taste the avocado, but it does give it a delicate creaminess which works really well with the coconut water 🥳

This is one of my favourite smoothies at the moment! The recipe serves 2 💕 Don’t forget to hit save 📑❤️

How are you celebrating all of this sunshine? 👇💭

These people should be held accountable - it should be against the law to give a conclusion about nutrition and dietary advice that has a completely illogical premise and is not supported by any scientific evidence - or where they have they manipulate the data, or fail to mention that the study was funded by coka cola or GlaxoSmithKline or some other giant corporation with an agenda.

Just read this article - what a load of s**t!! Your body and brain NEED healthy fats!!

The premise slimming world uses is that the liver is responsible for metabolising both fat and alcohol - and will prioritise metabolising alcohol over fat.

Slimming world say not to eat fats whilst drinking alcohol for this reason.

To suggest that to “pick up a can instead of having avocado on toast” is “healthier” is fu***ng ludicrous. Points in slimming world have nothing to do with ensuring you’re getting adequate micros and macros in your diet.

Avocados contain: vitamin K (good for maintaining healthy gut bacteria), folic acid (essential for neural tube development in a growing foetus), vitamin b6 (energy and immune response), potassium (metabolism and neurological health) - just to name a few.

Strongbow contains artificial sweeteners that the body is unable to process, sulphates that many are sensitive to so it gives you bad skin, breathing problems, and is partially responsible for the mega hangover you get after a night out drinking. Not to mention the alcohol, which in moderation is not too bad ...

But fk. The scary thing is many people will believe this and use it as justification for drinking more alcohol and eating less veg. The opposite of what we need to be advertising to a population that is already horrifyingly obesogenic. Just because it’s on the internet and you quite like the idea of cider being healthier than some veg - doesn’t make it true.... obviously....

Stepping off my soap box. Just couldn’t let this one go.

Forget the avocado toast, crack open a can of DF for breakfast!
