About
Happy Vegan
This is a great winter warmer for cosy weekends when you have a little more time, or it’s perfect served cold if you're organised and have made a batch the day before. Oats contain fibre which is good for your gut and can also improve blood sugar control. The pears and cashews add another needed boost of vitamins and protein to ensure you start your day right!
