Christmas puddings can be expensive to buy, and rather a heavy prospect at the end of a festive meal. A tray of baklava is a suitably sweet and sticky treat, and there’s no pressure to eat it straight after your main course … in fact, a plate of little baklava nibbles might last all through Christmas afternoon… This vegan dessert recipe for Mincemeat Baklava has been kindly donated to London Mums by the Vegan Society.

Your children’s gut is crucial to their overall well-being, as it is responsible for absorbing nutrients to aid their growth and development and eliminates waste and toxins from the body. Additionally, it is your kids’ best defence system against illnesses. Research indicates that poor gut bacteria balance can increase their risk of developing eczema, asthma and other gut-related conditions. A 2020 study also linked gut microbiome to children’s behavioural problems. Therefore, prioritising your kids’ gut health becomes essential to prevent these. Here are some effective ways to achieve this.

Strapped for cash Brits could avoid a costly Christmas this year by making easy and simple swaps, according to the UK’s leading vegan charity, The Vegan Society. On average, a traditional Christmas dinner with a Christmas pudding and custard dessert, picked up from one of the UK’s leading supermarkets, could set you back around £35.47. However, a similar feast for up to six people, made up entirely of vegan alternatives, including nut patties with cranberry-orange sauce and a mincemeat baklava (a twist on a traditional mince pie and cream), only totals £22.18. This means creating a delicious and nutritious Christmas spread, completely free from animal products, could save you an impressive £13.29 – much needed at a time when the cost of food, fuel and energy bills are all on the rise.
