Just a few years ago, the list of restaurants that served vegan food in Dubai would have been painfully short. Now, you are spoilt for choice and it’s hard to narrow down the options; thanks to the plant-based revolution in its full force. And with good reason. Taking off animal products from your diet is not only great for your health but also for the planet. I'm not saying it, its proven by science. Researchers at the University of Oxford found that cutting meat and dairy products from your diet could reduce an individual's carbon footprint from food by up to a whopping 73 percent. When it comes to breakfasts we all love one that's packed with flavor, taste and nutrition. In the last few years, the obsession with wellness in Dubai has gone through the roof, and the city had an explosion of workout studios, juice bars, and turmeric everything. And nowhere is this more apparent as on the food front. The falafel-and-karak chai culture of Dubai has evolved. In its place, gr
Getting the perfect creamy texture in the smoothie brings great joy. And when it tastes like heaven in a bowl, it almost makes your day. Don't you agree? Smoothies are a great healthy breakfast option. They're ridiculously easy to make, filled with fruits and veggies (aka nutrition), and are ready in just a few minutes. I am all about the MANGOES right now. They are in season and make a great base for smoothie - they're creamy, sweet and add amazing flavor. Did you know that mangoes are packed with nutrition? They're high in fiber, and are good source of vitamins A and C. They also contain folate, B6, iron and are packed with antioxidants. Mango and berries have been my favorite smoothie ingredients lately - I AM OBSESSED with the combination. To make a perfect smoothie bowls, you need to make sure you have the right toppings that are artfully stacked above the smoothie. You can play around with any toppings of your choice. You just need to make sure they comple
Copenhagen charmed me with its trendy vibes, cutting-edge eco-architecture, very warm and friendly people, traffic jams of cyclers {not cars}, its focus on sustainability and amazing vegan food (who could have thought?). Copenhagen is an interesting city, with a compact downtown area and lots of canals, which makes it easier to explore it on foot. It is built around waterways and has many beautiful parks and gardens, making walking around the city a delight, even in winter. Honestly, Copenhagen is more of a lifestyle place and is far different from other beautiful capital cities in Europe like Paris, London or Amsterdam. So don't be disappointed if you don't see the colorful buildings all over Copenhagen, as it seems in the pictures, or can't find romantic streets or fancy museums, because there aren't any. Being a Scandinavian city, it is outrageously expensive too. Yet this city has its charm, and once you explore it, you're most likely going to love it.
