#ad Like a chocolate bar but BETTER. What better way to celebrate Walnut Day than with @walnuts_uk while in California? You don’t have to be in Cali to make these WALNUT CARAMEL BARS. Remember to use the best quality and most superior walnuts from California. Base 90g oat flour 2 tbsp maple syrup 2 tbsp California Walnut butter* pinch of salt Filling 115g Medjool dates, packed 125g California Walnut butter* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 100g California Walnuts* Chocolate Layer 170g dark chocolate chips 1 tbsp coconut oil Rose petals for garnish (optional) Grease and line a rectangular loaf pan, set aside. În a large bowl, make the base. Mix the oat flour, maple syrup, California Walnut butter and salt until well combined. Press mixture into the pan, flattening it with your hands. Set aside. For the filling, add the dates, California Walnut butter, vanilla extract in a food processor and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides a couple times to ensure all is incorporated. Spread the filling over the base evenly, then arrange the chopped California Walnuts on top. Freeze for at least 40 minutes to 1 hour to set.  Cut into 8 rectangular bars with a sharp knife.  Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water. Once melted, take off heat. Dip each rectangle in the chocolate, cover and transfer to a baking sheet. Freeze for 10-20 minutes.

I’m spending a few weeks in Malibu with my beaut friend @blaireward. My Sunday’s in the past have been very much do, do, do, work work work. and I’m proactively trying to do more things that slow me down and bring me joy, like getting more sleep, strolling through a market and chillin w pal. The moment I started asking myself “What does an ideal day look like for me? Is when I started slowly incorporating more and more of those things that fill my cup, taking care of myself to be ready to take on the week! This is basically an ideal Sunday: Matcha’s made with @piquelife matcha powder, @ancientandbrave collagen (HEALTHJUNKIE for 10% off) topped w foamed @kalonasupernatural_milk_dairy and cinnamon Workout with @we.love.camp through @classpass Rooibos vanilla tea from @zinque Turkey wrap from @erewhon - if you get this, I highly recommend having it heated! Another herbal “cold buster” tea from @sunlifeorganics Leftover meals made w different combinations of a roast veggie salad, fresh herbs, fesenjoon, ghormeh sabzi, gheimeh bademjoon, rice, mast-o-khiar, sauerkraut and micro greens. Honestly a dream. And ended each meal with a little date bark snack (legit been making endless amounts of this stuff so that we have limitless supply in the freezer <3

I didn’t think introducing Persian food to people trying it for the first time would be so healing. Witnessing the pure joy that my food can actually bring, as well as the curiosity of my heritage, is a really beaut thing to experience. The simple act of sharing food, not only nourishes the body, but also truly nourishes the soul. A nice reminder of the power of food.

To make labneh, strain yogurt to remove excess whey, resulting in a rich, spreadable texture that’s perfect for both savory and sweet dishes. A staple in P*lestine, Leban*n, Syr*a and J*rdan, this dip is so versatile. You can mix in/ top with anything. I really liked this combo of roasted tenderstem broccoli and olives on top: Brocc topping: 1 heaped tablespoon whole grain mustard 3 cloves garlic 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper pinch of chilli flakes 200g tenderstem broccoli handful of olives olive oil, parsley and sumac for garnish Preheat oven to 220C/ 430F (fan). Mix all the ingredients together then toss in the broccoli. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until crispy. Spread the labneh on a serving dish. Arrange the broccoli and garnish with olives, olive oil, parsley and sumac. Serve with warm toasted flatbread and enjoy

An ideal Sunday morning: werk - farmers market - erewhon - walk - plan my week

24 hrs of travelling snacks/ meals. I used to put so much effort into making salads etc, it used to take hours and also I don’t like carrying around tupperware when flying and this works fabulously. Also I remember how in my disordered eating days I never went near airplane food bc ‘it’s the devil,’ but actually I enjoy it and the chicken orzo was surprisingly good. Feels healing just to enjoy whatever without restriction, but to actually crave the foods that actually do my body good. Details of some of the things I ate: @joeandthejuice Joe’s Identity w two sachets of @ancientandbrave collagen mixed in for extra protein - use code THATHEALTHJUNKIE for 20% off.

You just can’t underestimate the power of social support - esp through trying times. Finding and surrounding yourself with people who understand and resonate with you and the things you care about, can give you that safe space where you’re able to freely express yourself without fear. This is key for maintaining good mental health and emotional wellbeing. Through difficult times, cultivating community becomes essential, not just for our mental/ emotional wellbeing, but for our collective resilience. Together we find comfort, strength and hope, proving that in the face of struggle, the connections within community are our greatest strength. Thank you so much @foryourviewingpleasure @lanzybear for holding this beaut space
