Let’s take a closer look at what’s in this bowl:
1. Mangoes: an excellent source of vitamin A, beta-carotene and potassium. They also provide vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin E.
2. Pineapples: rich in vitamin C and bromelain, an enzyme that helps to digest food. Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
3. Blueberries: one of the highest antioxidant fruits (and longevity fruits!) due to it’s anthocyanin compounds.
4. #Coconut: high in potassium and B-complex vitamins, as well as lauric acid – which increases good-HDL #cholesterol.
5. Chai Spiced #Granola: spices such as cinnamon and ginger provide antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, while the nuts are rich in energy, fatty acids and nutrients.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 banana
1 cup coconut water
Toppings
1/4 cup mango chunks
1/4 cup pineapple chunks
1/4 cup blueberries
2 tbsp coconut flakes
2 tbsp chai spiced granola

#Thyme has a number of incredible medicinal properties that can naturally heal your #body.
Anti-Inflammatory
Taken internally, Thyme can ease the discomfort of intestinal inflammatory diseases. It can also be used to relieve skin irritation and can also serve as a relaxant for inflamed or cramping muscles.
Antibacterial and Antifungal
Thyme extracts effectively inhibit the growth of bacterias that are resistant to standard antibiotics. This makes it an excellent agent in fighting and protecting against infection. Thyme also contains a compound called thymol, which has powerful antifungal properties and can combat yeast-causing candida, environmental mold and spores, and other fungal-based threats to your #health.
Respiratory Relief
One of thyme’s oldest uses in medicine has been as an aid against respiratory problems such as a cough, bronchitis, #asthma, and #allergies. Thyme is both anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic, meaning it reduces irritation and inflammation that can block our airways and soothe discomfort that causes coughing. Research has also shown that thyme extracts may even combat the growth of lung #cancer cells.
Heart Health
Potassium is one of the most crucial components of the body’s muscle function and no muscle is more important in the body than the heart. Thyme contains 5 mg of potassium per teaspoon. Potassium is also helps relax the walls of blood vessels to reduce stress on the cardiovascular system and lower blood pressure.
Improves Circulation
Thyme is rich in iron, which makes it an ideal agent to help promotes the body’s production of healthy red blood cells. Also high in antioxidants, it inhibits the production of free radicals and other harmful oxidizing agents.
Promotes Skin Health
Due to antibacterial properties, Thyme is a natural combatant against #acne. A study discovered that Thyme was not only capable of killing Propionibacterium acne but it actually did so better than Benzoyl Peroxide, the main ingredient in most acne treatment products.

"Oh you're vegan, so you don't eat gluten?" I've actually had people mistaken gluten-free for vegan. Not sure what vegans don't eat? Essentially all animal products.
Gluten is a protein found in some whole grains like wheat, barley, spelt, farro, etc. and is therefore vegan.
Removing all animal products may seem like a lot and leave you wondering what vegans do eat.
Swipe through to see what can be eaten instead!

Ingredients:⠀
▪130 g coconut flour fresh, no lumps (1 cup)
▪18 g ground psyllium husk (1/4 cup)
▪60 g almond meal (1/2 cup)
▪2 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil of choice (30 ml)
▪2 teaspoon baking soda
▪2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
▪1/4 teaspoon sea salt
▪1 3/4 cup water
▪1 tsp activated charcoal
METHOD:⠀
1. Preheat oven to 200 C (400F) Cover a baking tray with a piece of parchment paper. Spray oil on your paper.
2-In a large mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients & stir. Add in the rest of the ingredients and Stir vigorously with a spatula at first, for about 30 sec. Then use your hands and knead the dough for an extra 60 sec. It will get dryer as you go. You should be able to form a ball of dough after 90 seconds.
3- Gather the dough to form a ball, it will be very soft and moist and that is what you want. Set aside for 10 minutes in the mixing bowl. This step is crucial.
4- Knead the dough for an extra 30 seconds and divide into 6 even pieces.
5- Roll each pieces into a ball. Place each balls on the prepared baking tray, leave at least 1 thumb between each buns. They won't expand while baking by it is better if they don't touch each others.
Press each balls with your hand palm, to flatten the ball slightly and form a lovely burger bun shape.
6- Brush a tiny amount of water on the top of each burger buns and sprinkle sesame seeds on the top. The water will stick the seeds to the top and give a crispier crust to the buns while staying soft enough in the center to mimic a brioche bun.
7- Bake for 20-25 minutes in the center level of the oven, or until the top is crispy and brown/dark. Follow us for more vegan recipes daily!⠀

When it comes to nutrition and building muscle it takes more then just carbs, protein and healthy fats. Micronutrients are essential for overall health and eating a varied plant based diet will provide all of these minerals and vitamins in abundance. The minerals that made this list are the most important for muscle growth and recovery!
-
Water(Element not a mineral). We all know the importance of staying hydrated before, during and after a workout to replace the fluids lost. But staying correctly hydrated also aids in digestion and nutrient absorption, critical to muscle growth.
-
Calcium: Responsible for triggering muscle contraction.
-
Magnesium: Essential for muscle relaxation and preventing cramps.
-
Potassium: A crucial electrolyte in muscle contraction. It's also essential for carrying other nutrients to muscles.
-
Iron: Brings oxygen to muscle tissue and helps regulate metabolism and a healthy immune system. Without enough iron, red blood cells cant carry oxygen to muscles and the tissues that need it.
-
Iodine: Used by the thyroid to help regulate metabolism and your nervous system which relates to muscle function and growth.
-
Phosphorus: Helps the body to store and use energy as well as repair cells which result in better recovery.
-
Zinc: Vital for many functions but for muscle building purposes, it helps control hormone levels, stabilises certain proteins and facilitate chemical reactions in muscle tissue.
-
Selenium: A lesser known mineral but still essential. Also plays a role in thyroid management and helps with processing proteins.
-
Manganese: Another lesser known mineral, its found and used in many tissues and plays a big part in helping form connective tissues which is vital when muscle building.
-
Copper: The third most abundant trace mineral in the body, helps.protect the cardiovascular, nervous system and skeletal system. It also strengthens the tendons needed to lift weights.
-
Biotin: Plays an important role in converting carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy.
