For a winter-lover like myself, the beginning of spring can be a pretty huge bummer. The one thing I can get posi about are all the delicious foods you can get stuck into in the warmer weather, so I’ve wrapped up some of my faves in a neat little package so you don’t have to go hunting for ’em.
Fresh AF Rice Paper Rolls w/ Peanut Dipping Sauce
Spring rolls, summer rolls or rice paper rolls; whatever you want to call them, they’re the perf food to chow down on in the warmer months! You can stuff them full of anything you like but I have nailed an excellent flavour combo in this recipe.
I made this dish to lighten up my Christmas meal last year and lemme tell you it was damned fine. If you want to make it a main meal as opposed to a tasty little side piece, add some protein like lentils, chickpeas or tofu to bulk it up a bit.
Sweet Potato + Brown Rice Burgers
As spring hits, you’re going to start filling up your calendar with outdoor events like picnics and barbecues and these burgers are going to be your go-to for a healthy and filling meal. Eat them cold or hot with bread or salad and you’ll be laughing.
6 Ingredient Healthy Mango Ice Cream Bars
You can’t do warm weather without ice cream and these babies are gonna be your game-changer. With only 6 ingredients, they’re healthy, gluten free and wildly tasty so you can basically eat the whole batch.
When the sun comes out you know it’s party season. Knock the socks off your guests with my deliciously tangy Grapefruit Gin + Tonic! With hardly any prep at all, you could be sipping one of these bad boys in less than 5 minutes!
Now that you’ve got your spring and summer menu under control, it’s time to sort out your wardrobe! It can be hard sometimes to find high quality, cruelty-free fashion but luckily the legends at Lyst have a tonne of vegan-friendly brands on their site including Stella McCartney, Free People and my faves, Matt and Nat to get your spring/summer wardrobe fresh to death (without the death, of course).
Nice Post!!! Very nice food and pictures! Thank you!
I actually really like spring! Except for the grass making my eyes itchy 😞 Those burgers look really yumm, and who doesn’t like a G&T??? 😜
