There is a bit of a misconception out there that eating healthy and making food from scratch means you need to spend hours and hours in the kitchen.
Sure eating whole, real and natural foods is going to take you a tad longer than a phone call to get a pizza delivered but when it comes to life long health that is not much of a cost. What the point in saving time if your don’t have the health to use it?

The only reason I spend hours in the kitchen is when I am:
A. taking photos of food (I am NOT a natural photographer. I am a natural eater and these two don’t often go hand in hand…)
B. I am perfecting a recipe for you guys therefore I make is several times in a row…
This Chocolate & Raspberry 5 Minute Mousse – Dairy, Sugar & Grain Free recipe is the perfect example of not having that much food in the house, having a busy day and saying we would take pudding round to a friends house for dinner that evening. And when I say it is a five minute mousse I mean it. You literally blend and then leave to set. That is all.
Plus it is super healing and oh so good for your body. If you have read my homemade marshmallow recipe then you will know why gelatine is so good for you. I use Great Lakes Unflavored Gelatin as it is really good quality and I see it as more of a superfood supplement and try to eat some every day to help my gut increasing heal and repair itself.
Plus the organic cocoa is this makes it full of magnesium and the medjool dates means it is sweet but in a low glycemic index way – SWEET!
This is what I use .

This recipe looks yummy and so easy to make! Great quick dessert to do when you don’t have much time! And great for dinner parties! But Im vegan so can’t eat gelatine! So can I get veggie gelatine to use instead?
Pretty sure you could – I haven’t tried it with veggie gelatine but pretty sure it would work the same:)
