Homemade Vegan white bread
Due to allergies in our house to egg and milk products I decided to bake a loaf of bread for the family.
It was surprisingly yummy and includes almonds milk and oil (I used Olive oil) instead of egg, butter and cows milk.
Here's the recipe I used http://dairyfreecooking.about.com/od/breadsbakery/r/whitebread.htm

Motivation
Eating and living a healthy lifestyle can be hard to start with. Sometimes making small gradual changes works better for most.
Do you need help with sticking to a plan?
I offer free coaching, plans and support on some programs. I also do a health analysis to see where you are now and find out where you want to get to.
Everyone's health and goals are different which is why personalised one to one coaching is needed.
I am here to help, just ask.

Detox Green Goddess Soup Recipe
Day 1
Breakfast: Cleanse Smoothie
Snack on blueberries and nuts
Lunch: Spinach, Rocket, Watercress, Radish and mixed bean salad
Dinner: the below Green Detox soup
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
4 cups fresh broccoli, cut up
1/2 pound of fresh spinach leaves
3 parsnips, peeled, cored, chopped
2 ribs of celery, trimmed, chopped
A handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
Fresh water, as needed
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
Lemon or lime juice
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
4 cups fresh broccoli, cut up
1/2 pound of fresh spinach leaves
3 parsnips, peeled, cored, chopped
2 ribs of celery, trimmed, chopped
A handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped
Fresh water, as needed
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
Lemon or lime juice
Using a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and stir in the garlic, onion, and ginger to season the oil. Add the broccoli, spinach, parsnips, celery and parsley, and stir a bit until the spinach wilts and collapses. Add just enough water to cover the vegetables. Remember the spinach will cook down quite a bit, so don't add too much water at first. You can always thin the soup later, if you need to.
Bring to a high simmer, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a medium simmer. Cook for fifteen minutes or so until the veggies are softened.
Use a blender
to puree the soup. Squeeze the lime juice to taste and mix.
