In this vlog I share what I eat in a day as a minimalist and how I stay healthy whilst living simply.

Healthy living can sometimes feel so complicated these days. There's so many gadget, gimmicks and endless advice about the foods we should be eating and habits we should adopt. This can make a "healthy" lifestyle feel out of reach and expensive to a lot of us.

However whilst living simply and adopting a more minimalist lifestyle, I've come to find that healthy living doesn't have to be so costly or complicated and in this video I want to share tips how I've been able to utilise simplicity and minimalist living to stay healthy, eat simple, delicious food and save money.

I hope you enjoy! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below 🫶

Wishing you a happy and peaceful day wherever you are!

2. Add in the banana slices and cinnamon. Stir continuously until cooked through. Add more milk until the porridge is the desired consistency.
3. Meanwhile add the blueberries to a Tupperware and microwave for 1 minute until defrosted and juicy.
4. Add the banana porridge mix to a cereal bowl, top with the blueberries, nut butter, chopped almonds and a generous drizzle of honey - tuck in! 😋

Lunch - Tofu 'Power' Bowl (adaptable dish so swap out any element for what you like!)
Base Ingredients
-1/3 Block Tofu Diced (use any other protein)
-Handful of Leaves (I used curly kale but can sub lettuce, rocket, spinach)

-Olive oil, salt and lemon juice
Dressing Ingredients
-1 tbsp Sesame oil
-3/4tsp Miso Paste
-2tsp soy sauce
-2tsp Honey
-Pinch Garlic Granules
-Squeeze of lemon (to taste)

1. Begin by cooking the Tofu chunks in a pan with a little oil on a high heat until crisp
2. Meanwhile begin slicing the veggies as desired and place the kale into a separate bowl
3. 'Massage' the kale with a drizzle of oil, pinch of salt and squeeze of lemon until soft and set aside (if substituting for other leaves no need to massage)
4. Whisk together the dressing ingredients into a small bowl until smooth and season to taste
5. Once the tofu has cooked turn off the heat, add a little dash of soy sauce to prevent it being too dry. Remove from the heat
6. Plate up the bowl as desired with the veggies, cooked grains and tofu, sprinkle with a few seeds and generously drizzle over the dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy 😋
7. If using as meal prep omit the dressing until ready to serve!

-Toppings - Greens of choice (I used bok choy, broccoli and sugar snap peas), toasted nuts (I used cashew), chilli oil, sesame seeds, lime wedge

1. Heat a pan on a medium-high heat with a glug of olive oil.
2. Fry off the diced onion and garlic until soft and add in the curry powder. Fry off until aromatic for 2 mins. Turn down the heat.
3. Then add in approx 100ml boiling water with the coconut milk and simmer to allow to thicken and reduce
4. In a separate bowl mix the peanut butter with the miso, honey, lime juice, soy sauce and a dash of hot water to form a smooth paste
5. Then add in your noodles to the broth mixture in the pan and allow to cook through for 5-8 mins
