Breakfast: Beetroot, apple & ginger smoothie. It kicks butt: 1/2 apple, 1/2 raw beetroot, 1 prune, 1cm piece of ginger, 30g spinach, 40g avocado, 2tsp flaxseed, fresh mint, ice, water.

Lunch: Black bean soup in a roasted butternut squash “bowl” with avocado and sprinkled with Piment d’Esplette. This was awesome!

Dinner: Middle eastern food with my Airbnb guests. Quinoa salad with raisins, olives and quinoa (adapted from Ottolenghi’s chermoula aubergine with bulgar and yogurt recipe, which I served to my guests). Plus hummus, green beans and salad. Enjoyable!
