Avocado Hummus
By now, most people should have heard of hummus before. You can buy pre-made hummus at the store, but it’s so much better if you make it at home, not to mention really easy!

5 Day Detox
I recently did a 5 day detox program that I got from Our Clean Journey (it is available in German only for now). Detoxing is supposed to give your liver and kidneys a break and wash out toxins that have built up in the body. There are a lot of different ways to detox, but since I am not a fan of depriving myself of solid food for days, I chose this gentle program. The main idea of the Our Clean Journey detox is to cut out things like flour, animal products, alcohol, coffee, salt, sugar, preservatives and basically all processed food. In those 5 days, you make all your meals from fresh, unprocessed food, so it does take a little bit of time to prepare. To do the detox, I chose a few days when I was at home anyways, so I would be flexible enough to make food whenever I wanted. The plan provides you with 36 recipes for breakfast, lunch/dinner and snacks as well as a little 5 day planner, where you can plan out …
Creamy Spinach Pasta with Pine Nuts
I came home from work, had in mind that I wanted to use up that spinach that was lying around in the fridge and then I whipped up this dinner within 20 minutes! I was so impressed by myself that I wanted to get the recipe out to you guys as soon as possible because it actually tasted pretty good!!
Black Bean & Sweet Potato Quesadillas
These quesadillas are the perfect comfort food to me! They are easy to make and so satisfying. If you want to make them a little healthier, just add some fresh baby spinach in the quesadillas or a salad on the side! They are also great to prepare in advance and take to work/school the next day.
Vegan Cookie Dough
Hold on to your chair. This cookie dough is actually vegan, only made of 4 ingredients and you won’t believe what the main ingredient is! Don’t judge until you’ve tried it.
Sleep Well Smoothie
Thanks to its load of vitamins, this smoothie has a cleansing and balancing effect on your body. Mixed with some calming herbs, and consumed at night, for instance as a dessert after dinner, this smoothie can actually enhance your sleep and help you feel more relaxed.
