Happy Weekend everyone! CHRISTMAS FOOD AND MINCE PIES ARE ALREADY IN SUPERMARKETS, WHAT ARE OUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? *too soon* . Get out the house today, go for a nice walk or some food, and enjoy the sun whilst it lasts 🌞
What better way to start your day than with a giant chopped up crepe from @thehappypigamsterdam ? They’re basically a pancake shop (they also do waffles, but don’t have any vegan options for them) and you can just pick and choose any fillings. I love the concept of rolling up a crepe and cutting it into bite sized pieces! I’d definitely recommend getting there early, because they do get quite busy and their little shop fills up quite fast! . Niamh ordered their vegan pancake mix (the one in my left hand) and I got the vegan buckwheat pancake (right hand- darker computed base). Both pancakes tasted amazing and I could barely tell the difference, I think Niamh’s was a bit more stringy so I did actually prefer the buckwheat one! We both got their chocolate hazelnut sauce with banana, I got coconut flakes and Niamh got strawberries. Would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in/ around Amsterdam!
Does anyone else find it really hard to get back into the swing of things after being on holiday? I’m quite good at getting myself into a routine and sticking to it, but once I go off track with stuff, I find it impossible to snap back into my routine. . We had the best time in Amsterdam and I absolutely loved walking around the canals all day and eating some of the best vegan food around, but it’s also meant that the whole holiday was completely different to what my body’s used to. I’m rarely strict with my fitness and even less so with my food, but I find that once I get into a regular workout routine and an eating pattern, I’m good at just going with it. Anyway, I’m rambling now aren’t I? . So, today I set myself a “to-do” list and it worked! I still snacked loads because my sugar and salt cravings are still quite high, but I managed to get to the gym and do an amazing workout ( I also tidied the whole flat from top to bottom and did about 4 loads of laundry). I was literally sweating more from weight lifting than I did from my 10’ warm up on the treadmill. Trying not to go ‘too hard’ and give myself mad DOMS though, because I know that’ll keep me from the gym more and probably make it even harder to get back into the swing of things.
Ever since we went to @maozvegetarian in Amsterdam, I’ve been craving falafels every single day! We even went to @aldiuk for their new vegan stuff today and so picked up a box of falafels and at them on the way home 😂🙈 . Maoz is literally a dream though, whether you order their “salad box,” or pita, you get four falafels, some hummus, and then you can just add your own toppings from their salad bar. They also have a wide selection of vegan sauces and drizzles that you can use as much as you want- from vegan garlic mayo to tahini, yum! I love the idea of helping yourself to the salad bar and adding as much or as little of each topping as you want! Top tip- load up on the olives 😉
What I wish I was going this morning instead of deep cleaning our carpets and whole flat 🙃 What’s the autumn version of a spring clean? . Excited to be going to the @nespresso.uk pop-up for a masterclass later on this morning though- all the coverage from the event looks amazing so far ☕️. What’s everyone else up to today?
Manchester people!!! Get yourselves down to the @northernmonk to try out some amazing vegan food by @donersummer 🌱. They’ve launched a new menu and the options on there are mind blowing, so much variety and choice and hella affordable for what you get! Make sure to give their custom made beer a try as well- for a cider lover, I couldn’t stop having top ups of their beer, so that says a lot 😉 They’re also popping up in Leeds and around the North West, so check out their insta and bio for more details! . Genuinely so happy to be part of their launch and to have been invited to their Manchester launch night. @donersummer are genuinely such an amazing business with great people behind it, which really does matter! . We had their vegan hot dogs (1st picture), the best korean bbq bowl I’ve ever had with loaded fries and vegan chicken (will be posting a picture soon- check my story for now), a special doner and hash brown bowl not on the menu, their incredible cookie dough ice cream that comes with lotus/ party rings/ or bourbons (2nd picture), and their beer (3rd picture).
