#MyBlogLife: Instagrammer Annie Kirwan Gives Us 5 Deliciously Healthy Recipes

She’s got an enviable bod and is a dab hand at making healthy but seriously delicious treats – we know, because we’ve tasted them. Naturally, we had to ask Annie for a few of her yummy recipes.

The Ultimate Pizza

Revamp pizza with this delicious healthy alternative. You can buy healthy bases from your local health store or instead whip one up yourself. This recipe is full of flavour and is a fresh alternative from cheese-laden versions.

Superfood Salad

This dish is easy to make, unbelievably healthy and outrageously tasty. So simply, get your very colourful ingredients and just get grating! Then Voila! Mix it all up.

Sweet Potato Veggie Burger

This recipe is super easy too. Here’s what you’ll need:

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 can of cannelloni beans, rinsed and drained

1 red onion, diced

Handful of kale leaves

1 tsp paprika

Pinch of salt

3 Tbsp Happy Pear red pesto

The method:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Steam or microwave the sweet potatoes until soft. While they do their thing you can get the rest of the ingredients together. Heat some oil in a pan, add in the red onion, torn kale leaves and paprika. Cook until the onion softens. Take off the heat and add in the beans and the magic ingredient: pesto! Once the sweet potato is done add that to the mix. Then go to town with a potato masher, which is actually great therapy. Mash it all up and mould into burgers. Brown them in the oven for approx 20 mins and devour.

Vegan Raw Cheesecake

If you have a major sweet tooth and struggle to stay away from chocolate and sweets, use this recipe to keep you on the straight and narrow. Healthy eating is all about balance and not feeling deprived, after all.

The perfect porridge

For this recipe you’ll need:

1/2 cup of oats

1/2 cup of water

1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk

1 tsp cinnamon

3 tbsp coconut flakes

Handful pomegranate seeds

1/2 cup of raspberries and blueberries

Figs

1 tbsp of maple syrup

1 tbsp chia seeds

Pinch of salt

The method:

Cook the oats, water, milk, syrup, salt and cinnamon in a saucepan. Bring to boil and let simmer on a low heat until cooked through. Add the berries and pomegranate while it simmers to add some extra sweetness. To serve, pile on the figs, coconut and chia.
