Meet Aduna Feel Good Triber Lara, also known as fresh.greens to the Instagram world. Creator of beautiful, vibrant and nutritious recipes, she's on a mission to inspire others to cook with whole foods. 

We caught up with Lara to find out more about her, her feel good advice and her favourite super-ingredient: 

Describe yourself in a sentence...A foodie, arty, creative, likes to explore and travel.

My love for food began…My culinary journey started from learning to cook with fresh wholefood ingredients, exotic spices and learning the art of Middle-Eastern cooking from my mother. It then evolved by cooking staple foods that I have on hand no matter what time of year: lemons, quinoa, spinach, cumin, coconut oil, tahini and many more!

My idea of food heaven is...Anything frozen! My idea of food heaven is frozen yoghurt with berries – it’s a dream! I also have a crazy love affair with corn cakes smothered with homemade peanut butter, banana & pumpkin seeds.

My Feel Good Advice...'Be yourself; everyone else is already taken' - by Oscar Wilde.

I am inspired by...The legendary Yotam Ottolenghi. A one of a kind chef who combines ingredients that take me back to the exotic scents the Middle East is known for. His most recent cook book Plenty More is one of my favourite books for vegetarian-based dishes with a healthy twist.

Baobab, Moringa or Super-Cacao? Super-Cacao all the way. I like to use this superfood almost every day in my breakfast; it’s one of the most versatile, satisfying raw foods I know. It could be because it whips up so quickly and easily in raw desserts and also because it tastes beyond delicious!
