The Top 20 Irish Instagrammers, for foodie whores

This is my list of sonic wholefood Instagrammers I lovebomb everyday.

I think you will too.

All are Ir-ish and have a unique voice.

Think of Instagram like your own personal trainer on the path to better food choices. Surrounding yourself with thoughtful, inspiring cooks will change how you see food and seep into your kitchen like tea from a teabag; softly, slowly, but full of flavour.

Cooking for yourself and for those you love is a deeply meaningful experience. What makes food truly satisfying is not just the physical hunger-squashing sensation of mainlining food into an empty stomach. It’s the adoration poured into the preparation of ingredients, and the fulfillment of receiving someone’s time and dedication. Nothing beats the magic of homemade food.

High-vibing wholefood IG accounts feel like they can burst into my body’s engine room with an emergency toolbox and remedy a mood slump.

So here they are … in no particular order!

Coconut almond butter…for toast, oatmeal, nut milk, smoothies and straight up eating with a spoon. To make: blend 2-3 cups of raw almonds into butter using a high-powered blender like @vitamix (it’s a bit of a workout but use the tamper and just keep going ??). In a food processor, do the same with 3 cups unsweetened coconut flakes (keep scraping down the sides and blending until a smooth runny butter is formed ~10 min). Add salt to taste and then combine the butters. You’ll never need to buy store bought butters again!!

Aldi before: misguided positivity – Aldi after: spirits broken (no lectures about sling sitch please I know it’s a shambles, I was scrambling to get it on while packing bags with about 8 people watching on and Rufus chanting “monkey cereal” for the 83rd consecutive minute. It was basically cardio lads) #parenthood #recipesforactualreallife #parentfail

We planted SO many radishes today. 3 different kinds. I have a big stack of empty egg boxes that I just can’t throw out and usually give them to someone with hens but today we filled them with compost and planted our tiny radish seeds! Once the seeds germinate in about 2 weeks we’ll slightly crush the outside of the egg box (top tip thanks @raedih ) and plant them outside in the soil. It was such a lovely way to spend an hour though and makes the smallies think even more about where their food comes from and what it takes to grow something. We are all VERY excited and have checked on them several times and watered them, again, before bed ?? #gardening #growyourown #radishes #growyourownfood #gardeningwithkids

I know there are many more awesome Irish Instagrammers, so forgive me for not including them here today. These are my current faves, and represent where my headspace is right now (ego-free, meat-free, mindful, locally-sourced, veg-bombing beauts). If you’re a big meat eater, or a paleo fiend, then check out Natural Born Feeder, Domini Kemp and Little Green Spoon for extra inspo too. Love and peas! xxx SJ
