5 months postpartum 💛 yoga practice ✨

Oh how I missed forearm stands! I had a lot of trouble finding balance with inversions after having Luca, I think it had a lot to do with my weak core muscles. But slowly, I’m finding my balance once again 💛

Blueberry Raw Cake by @vanelja 💜 Base: 100 g / 3,5 oz dried, soft apricots 1 cup pecan nuts pinch of sea salt Filling: 2 cups cashew nuts (soaked for 30 minutes & rinsed) 1 ripe banana ¼ cup coconut oil, melted 5-6 tbsp maple syrup ¼ cup oat milk or almond milk, if needed 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ cup blueberries handful of fresh thyme leaves On top: blueberries fresh thyme Pan diameter: 18 cm / 7 inches Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of a cake pan. Place all the base ingredients into a food processor or a high-speed blender and blend until moldable dough. Press the dough firmly into the bottom of the cake pan. Prepare the filling. Place all the filling ingredients (except blueberries and thyme) into the food processor / blender and blend until smooth. Add some dairy free milk, if needed, to get a smooth texture, still keeping it as thick as possible. Pour about ⅓ of the mixture into the cake pan and smooth out the surface. Add blueberries and thyme to the food processor / blender and blend with the remaining mixture. Taste and add some of the spices, if needed. Spoon the filling into the cake pan and even the surface gently with a spoon so that you don’t mix the white and the purple filling. Top with blueberries. Place the cake pan into the freezer for about 2-3 hours or until the cake is solid. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a serving dish. Sprinkle on some thyme leaves, serve and enjoy. Store in the fridge. #letscookvegan

Post gym sushi bowl 💪🏼⚡️⚡️ Love easy meals like this, literally threw this together in 5 minutes with leftover stuff I had in the fridge and BOOM 36g of protein without even trying ahah 💥 Grilled tofu strips, white rice, avocado, lettuce, cucumber, sesame seeds, lemon & soy sauce 😻 And omg grilled tofu (using a breville sandwich press) is my new fave way to eat tofu! Literally the texture is soo similar to grilled chicken, apart from the fact it doesn’t taste like flesh ahah 😋 . Vegan doesn’t have to be hard at all, so many people ask “how do you dooo it?! 😱” and to be honest I didn’t find the transition hard at all. The thing is you can literally keep eating a lot of the same meals - stirfries, curries, lasagna, pasta, sandwiches, pizza, burritos, baked chips, smoothies, icecream, even cakes and chocolate if you want ahah 😝 With my main meals I either replace the “meat” aspect with some tofu, beans or even just more veggies. As for dairy there are countless better tasting plant based milks and even cheese if you’re wanting to make the transition easier. . When I first made the decision to stop eating animal products literally all I did was follow heaps of vegan foodie accounts for inspiration and started practicing with different meals! I soon realised that I could make pretty much all my fave meals still and taste just as good AND be that much healthier for me 🙏🏼✨ #animalsarenotfood
