Tell me again why I can’t have my cake and eat it? This cake is from my book and it’s a refined sugar free, gluten free vegan hummingbird cake that will change the game on yumminess. That in my books is guilt free indulgence at any special occasion. 🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #foodphotography #f52grams #feedfeed #buzzfeast #foodie_features #foodvsco #beautifulcuisine #foodblog #huffposttaste #thetrufflejournal #gloobyfood #kitchenbowl #healthyeating #healthcoach #integrativehealth

A year ago WHOLE - bowl food for balance was born. My heart on my sleeve, photographed, styled, written, recipe developed and designed by myself. A cookbook centered around mindful eating and changing the way we cook and view food. This book changed my relationship with food and myself. In fact it changed my life. It shifted something so deeply in me. To see food as something that can harm or heal. I am so grateful to each and everyone of you that have gotten your hands on a copy and have cheered me on. Who would have thought that WHOLE would go through 4 print runs and that book 2 would be on the horizon. I am now a certified holistic health coach as a result of this journey. I am so humbled and inspired. If you don’t have your hands on a copy you can grab one at any of the major book stores in South Africa or online. I can’t wait for what the future has in store for me and I hope you guys will join me on the ride! 🧡 🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆🔅🔆 #wholecookbook #thetrufflejournal #healthylifestyle #wholehealth #healthcoach #holistichealthcoach #healthjourney #plantbased #wholefood #cookbook #recipes #healthyrecipes #integrativenutrition #integrativehealth
