clean, green diet


{spinach/tomato/mozzarella salad w/ pine nuts + mixed seeds}


{poached egg w/ granary toast, sliced tomato + avocado}

{wholewheat spaghetti w/ basil, cherry tomatoes, pesto + goats cheese}

{salad w/ spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted bell pepper, avocado, pine nuts + goats cheese}

{baked sweet potato w/ sour cream, sun-dried tomatoes + mixed seeds w/ stir-fried mushrooms, chickpeas + spring onion} 

{grilled mackerel w/ couscous, spinach + chick peas}


I'm pleased as punch that I have stuck to my clean eating regime since coming back home.
My plates are green, leafy and spring-colored with plenty of oily fish, fresh veggies and good fats.
I'm feeling the benefits of good nourishment, green smoothies, herbal teas and free range eggs.
I won't deny myself guilty pleasures~ I love bread and pasta for example, but I'll only eat wholegrain varieties. And the cheese is non-negotiable!

We've been having lots of April shower weather on this damp green island... slow moving days with half-shut curtains and open fires.
A girl could get used to spending every day in her pajamas!
& being surrounded by sleepy puppy-dog goodness ^.^

  1. Today for breakfast I had two cups of coffee and six jelly babies. I think I should take a leaf out of your healthy eating book - posts like this really help :)

  3. Beautiful meals, I'm glad you've decided on a better diet for your health. The food you have here is truly the best we can eat for our bodies. Considering the bread I ate for breakfast, the chicken tenders for lunch, and cake with dinner...I could use a little help!
