What I ate today - Spain

 I love these posts as they give me huge inspiration for my meals in a day. I thought I would do a 'what I ate today' holiday edition. In Spain finding any vegan/vegetarian options is very hard - especially as they have isles upon isles or meat 😔. However once you have scoured the supermarket, you find a good few basic items. It really makes me realise how lucky we are in England to have such a wide variety of health foods.

For breakfast- I had a huge plate of fruit, full of water melon, peaches, grapes and a huge banana. Following that I had some basic cereal with soy milk and a blueberry soy yogurt. It was all pretty delicious and I felt very satisfied afterwards 😀!

For lunch I had 4 rice cakes topped with hummus, spinach and rocket. They are really quick and easy to make, while ofcourse being delicious. I had lunch quite late, around 3pm! In Spain they tend to eat everything later which means lots of lie ins! With my lunch I also had a peach which I bought from the market a few hours earlier.

I did exclude water in this post as I didn't class it as 'what I ate' as such. But I usually drink a minimum of 2 litres per day. Usually I drink more but it all depends on the layout of the day.

For dinner we had fajitas!! While the rest of my family had chicken on theirs, I opted for red beans and pan 'fried' peppers in mine fajitas. This was an amazing meal which I devoured quickly :). I also served a salad with the fajitas which went down a treat. In Spain we alternate between staying in or going out, this night we happened to stay in and cook our own meal.

After dinner I had a few squares of my 100% dark chocolate, my absolute favourite!

I hope you enjoyed this post and it gave you a few ideas as I loved writing it! 

Delicious Vegan Pancakes

For me, Sundays usually consist of relaxing and unwinding. Breakfast on a Sunday are usually something different to my normal breakfasts, as it starts the day off fabulously! 

This week i made Vegan Pancakes! Sadly, i am not all vegan as my situation at the moment doesn't allow me to be. However i do like to add bits of veganism to my life where i can.

These were the most delicious pancakes i have ever made, and they taste very healthy (bonus!).

These were my ingredients:

260g whole wheat flour

Flax 'egg' (2tbsp Flax Seed + 5tbsp Water)

2 tbsp groundnut oil

2tbsp Acacia Honey (or any honey)

1 tsp Bicarb of soda

2 tsp Baking powder

pinch of sea salt

480 ml + 2tbsp almond milk

4 tbsp rolled oats

1) Make your 'Flax egg' and leave for a couple minutes for it to do its magic.

2) Add your honey, Bicarb of soda, baking powder and groundnut oil. Then whisk!

3) Add your almond milk!

4) Add your flour and whisk to combine. Add your salt here.

5) This is completely optional but i added some dried cranberries as it adds a little more sweetness and variation. Also look at the colour of those amazing dried cranberries!

6) Pop the batter in a pan and enjoy!
