Chocolate-orange frozen bananas

I don't really have any chocolate recipes on this blog yet. It's high time, friends. Let's stuff our faces. Whenever these babies are in the fridge, I just can't stop myself. Well I can, really, but I don't want to. They're so simple they make me wanna CRY because I can legit make them in 5 minutes and then eat them immediately, or freeze them to make 'em like ice cream. I kid you not. The chocolate is orangey and silky against the creaminess of the banana, and taste excellent in quick succession. Very quick succession. But I'm sure they don't mind. Mmm, summer continues to be delicious. Today the sea was so wild and beautifully moody, and I watched it stormily from my room as I sat on my ass and studied. I had this romantic vision of me going down to the beach across from my house with a cute sweater all pulled over my knuckles, a good book in my chipped-nail-varnish tumblr hands, and a thermos of hot black tea. But lol I tried to

Strawberry, coconut & banana popsicles

Boy, do I love a good popsicle. And these, my friends, tick all my boxes.  They are icy and delicious and fresh and perfect for summer. Also no sugar and no bad stuff, so I can eat the whole tray, right? This is the fun part of being vegan. I can eat a freaking HUGE bowl of salad with yummy dressing and hummus on the side and feel totally satiated and happy and not overfull. I'm not saying this in a TEEHEE I CAN'T HELP IT I'M SO HEALTHY (Laura Miller TM. I love her so much) way but in more of a I LIKE TO STUFF MY FACE HOW CAN I DO IT WHILE STILL BEING ABLE TO FIT THROUGH DOOR. Ya know? Anyway. These are popsicles. So like frozen strawberry salad. They were gone so fast, I didn't even have time to say "I love you." When I was little, there was a fridge in our big garage next to our yellow house, and it always contained popsicles. Green ones that tasted like lime, blue ones that tasted of blue, cola ones, and my most favouri

Delicious zucchini-banana bread (absolutely no sweetener/sugar!)

Hello, everybody!! I am sorry for the little hiatus. I've been scrambling to finish my extended essay, which I gave in two days ago (whoop whoop!) and lying on the beach. I love summer. I'm drinking my water out of big-ass jars as I do a little bit of maths homework, a lot of daydreaming. I'm also so frustrated with myself because I had my mind made up to be so productive this summer, but instead I'm just loafing around eating the sugary vegan cookies that my Mum bought that AREN'T EVEN THAT GOOD, and trying to evade another breakdown that results from thinking about all the artwork I still haven't started. It seems insurmountable, you know? I know there are so many more problems out there, though, so I just have to remember how lucky I am to have two arms and two legs and the ability to move and do whatever I want. Anyway, I made this awesome zucchini-banana bread today which is SO FREAKIN' GOOD because it has NO SUGAR (apart from a bit of vegan d
