A Wildflower Life

Hummus is one of my favourite things! I just love it so much. It is versatile, it is good for you - full of protein and fiber, and just so dang delicious. I love to make my own as I have more control of the ingredients that goes into it, and honestly there is no place near me where I can by any anyways..


Ingredients - Hummus
1 can chickpeas
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1-2 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
2 tsp zaatar spice
Water until desired consistency

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add water little by little until you reach your desired consistency. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for a week.

Sandwich topping suggestions:
Hummus, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, avocado, sprouts, hemp hearts

This smoothie bowl is so delicious. The sea buckthorn berries gives it a slightly unusual, but absolutely amazing citrusy flavour, and the oats bulk it up a bit to make it more filling while the banana and mango makes it creamy and wonderful. Sea buckthorn berries have an absolutely amazing content of vitamin C + healthy omega fatty acids, but if you can't find it you could substitute it for orange instead. 


Ingredients
1 fresh banana
1/2 frozen banana
1/3 cup frozen mango
1/3 cup frozen sea buckthorn berries
1/4 cup oats
1-2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp cinnamon

Add all the ingredients to a blender, make sure to chop the frozen banana into chunks if frozen in big pieces. Add water until you reach your desired consistency. Start with a little bit as it can easily get too runny. Pour your smoothie into a bowl and top with your favourite toppings. I used granola, kiwi, strawberries, blueberries and coconut flakes, and I also ended up drizzling on some tahini at the end which was absolutely amazing!!

This granola is absolutely delicious! It is filled with flavour and will make your mornings that much better. You could even add cacao nibs or chocolate chips and make it a chunky monkey granola! Yes, please :) 




Ingredients
3 cups old fashioned oats (use gluten free oats if allergic)
1 cup peanuts
1 large ripe banana
1/3 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt


Mash the banana and combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Make sure the coconut oil is soft, or quickly melt it for easier distribution throughout your mixture. Once everything is combined, spread the granola evenly out on a lined baking tray. Bake in the oven at 160C or 320F for about 25-30 minutes. Stirr occasionally for even baking and keep an eye on it at the end so it doesn't burn (mine overcooked slightly). Once it's done, let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.

These popsicles are super simple, amazingly refreshing on a hot day, and they look super pretty too! + they have absolutely nothing bad in them, just delicious, healthy, nourishing ingredients. With a delicious taste as well of course!

Ingredients
Coconut water
Raspberries
Lime 
Mint leaves

Simply fill your popsicle moulds half way with coconut water. Squeeze in the juice of 1/8 of a lime into each popsicle. Add in raspberries, thin slices/small pieces of lime and mint leaves. Finally fill the rest of the moulds with either more coconut water or just plain water. Add in the popsicle sticks and freeze overnight.

I am so happy with how these frozen snickers inspired banana bites turned out! The caramel is so wonderful I could eat it straight out of the bowl, frozen banana is the perfect natural ice cream, and the chocolate cover with peanut on top gives the perfect crunch and indulgent feeling to the bites. These could also be served room temperature, but I wouldn't freeze them and then completely thaw them as the banana will become kinda soggy. 




Ingredients
1 banana
8-10 dates
2 tsp natural peanut butter
80g dark chocolate
A handful peanuts

Remove the pits from the dates and mash them with a fork. Add in the peanut butter and mix together. 
Slice the banana into thick slices and add a teaspoon of the date mixture on top of each banana slice. Put them in the freezer for a bit to make it easier to cover them in chocolate later. 
Roughly chop the peanuts and melt the dark chocolate. You can either do this in the microwave or by placing a bowl into a pot of simmering water and add the chocolate to the bowl. Make sure no water gets in the bowl, stirr continuously and don’t let it get too hot as chocolate can burn and get hard and clumpy. 
Remove the banana bites from the freezer and dip each one into the chocolate, covering them completely. Sprinkle some peanuts on top. 
When you've covered all your bites, put them back in the freezer for a while and then they are ready to serve. A tip is to let them thaw for a few minutes before eating :)

These granola fruit tarts were such a happy discovery! The base is absolutely delicious, and you can customise the toppings completely to your liking! They are also so healthy that you can have them for breakfast without any guilt. 


Ingredients
3/4 cup (2dl) oats
1/2 cup (1 dl) ground almonds
1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
2-3 tbsp coconut oil 
2 tbsp liquid sweetener (maple syrup, date syrup, honey etc)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon 
Coconut yogurt + mixed fruit and berries for the toppings

Add all the ingredients (except yogurt, fruit and berries) to a bowl and mix together. Separate into four small tart pans (you can also use muffin liners and a muffin tin and make probably about 8-10 mini tarts). Press the mixture down into the pans and up along the edges. If you find the mix too sticky to spread out properly add some water to your fingers and continue the process. Bake the tart bade in the oven at 170C or 325F for about 25-30 minutes. Let them cool for a while. Then add a few tablespoons of coconut yogurt + your berries and you're good to go!
