Another snapshot of my pantry showcasing some wholefood plant based dry grocery staples. Lots of beans, chopped tomatoes, whole kernel corn, nuts, raisins, rolled oats, steel cut oats, red rice, brown rice, black rice, whole-wheat pasta, gojis, polenta, dried cranberries. It’s quite amazing to think how many different meals and bowls you can whip up with a few basics like this and some fresh fruits and veggies added in.

It’s like a fruit adventure 🔎every week when I head out to my greengrocer you just never know what you are going to get. Is this good or bad? A bit of both probably. There is no guarantee that you’ll find more of last weeks favourites, then again always something else to keep the taste buds happy. This week I’m sinking my teeth into some sweet yellow plums, mangoes and white nectarines. 😋😋The sweetest plums I’ve tasted in a long while. I’m definitely born with a sweet tooth, just never get tired of eating fruit. What’s in your fruit bowl? If you’re on the other side of the globe 🌎 or on another continent it really could be looking a lot different to mine. Share your fruits below. 🍉🍒🍎🍓 (at Pretoria, South Africa)

Enjoying a quick homemade raw muesli combo topped with raspberry purée for breakfast this morning while learning more about 100% natural and organic skin products. One of the things I love most about my job is the ability to meet a wide range of great people. Yesterday I was given the opportunity to attend the Dr Hauschka product training. Boy I sure learnt a lot. I know quite a bit about dietary carcinogens and what you shouldn’t be putting into your mouth, but I had never really thought about the damage you can do by lathering your body full of toxic carcinogens. So as you can see I’m still learning mulling over the manual and looking forward to testing my new 100% natural and organic skin products. Please drop me a comment below if you’re interested in learning more about natural skin care. @plantbased2go @drhauschkasouthafrica (at Pretoria, South Africa)

There is just so much you can do with roasted veggies, add them to a salad, wrap, sandwich, serve as a side dish to a main meal, topping for rice or couscous or simply just enjoy a bowl full of pure goodness. Another great weekly prep item you can keep in the fridge for a few days. That’s why @hellonutritarian recommends “always have some veggies roasting.” Love the slogan. Happy Monday! Try to get more veggies in this week. Double tap if you’re a roast veg fan. #roastedvegetables (at Pretoria, South Africa)

If you ask me what is my favourite fruit I would have to say a mango, this is probably due to the fact that I’ve been spoiled with crates full of farm fresh mangoes for the last few years. So much so that I eagerly look forward to their arrival each December. I’m sure many people would agree but they just hate peeling them and rather reach for something else to satisfy their hunger cravings. There is a quick and easy way to skin a mango...Don’t miss out on the sweet flavours. Any other methods out there you can recommend? #mango #mangos #m If you ask me what is my favourite fruit I would have to say a mango, this is probably due to the fact that I’ve been spoiled with crates full of farm fresh mangoes for the last few years.

My eating habits have changed drastically over the years. I have always been passionate about health and wellness and have been researching the field of nutrition for a long time. I’ve eaten a regular diet, been fruitarian, vegetarian, pescatarian and juiced all in search of the perfect way to feed your body. I’ve learnt a lot along the way, but any lifestyle needs to be sustainable in the long run. A wholefood plant based lifestyle is proving to be the best way to prevent and reverse chronic disease, the best thing of all its sustainable. #icandothis My eating habits have changed drastically over the years.

Look for whole-wheat wraps and fill them with your favourite veggie and salad ingredients. A wrap adds interest and variety to your weekly meal plan and is also great in a lunchbox. What else do you include in your plant based lunchboxes? #wfpbdiet Please share your ideas in the comment box below.

Specially printed this T-shirt to wear when I am presenting my wholefood plant based talks. Proudly wearing the slogan I firmly believe in “More plants less pills.” Despite being a pharmacist your first line of treatment for chronic diseases should always be diet and lifestyle modification first. If this doesn’t work then swallow some pills. Most often they’re never needed anyway. #preventdisease #lesspills #moreplants
