Ella Mills is a 29-year-old food blogger that is better known as Deliciously Ella. With her brand, she has managed to help shift a healthier, plant-based eating habit in the UK. Ella is dedicated to erasing the perception that eating plant-based is boring, bland and restrictive.
Whilst still at university back in 2012, Ella was diagnosed with a condition that affected her autonomic nervous system which left her with digestive issues, she then started looking into ways of managing this. Encouraged by stories she read online Ella decided to switch her diet to whole foods and plant-based, but she did not know how to cook. So, she decided to push herself in the kitchen to experiment and start a diary of the entire journey online through her website.
“It’s about celebrating the richness, abundance, and flavour of plants.’’
Through the years the website grew, Ella started teaching cooking classes, an app was launched, and books were written. Things did not stop there as shortly after writing her first book she met her now-husband and they decided to join forces and open a café in London, with the purpose of bringing their food to life for the community to enjoy.
After the success of the café, Ella wanted to make her food more accessible to everyone and launched her online store. The shop started with energy balls, but now offers cereals, frozen desserts, oat and chocolate bars, and much more.
The Springvale Foods team has carefully selected some of the favourite’s products around the office, including Deliciously Ella Berry Granola for a filling bowl of goodness. This granola is very colourful and fruity. It has the right balance of sweet but tart raspberry, earthy blackcurrant and juicy blueberries make the perfectly combined spoonful. Pair this with milk or yoghurt of choice for a pink mixture as you stir the ingredients together. This product is high in fibre and a great source of protein.
If something savoury is you are looking for Deliciously Ella Sweet Potato and Rosemary Crackers will be the right choice. These baked veggie crackers are crunchy, versatile and full of flavour. Being vegan friendly, the main ingredients are woodsy and piney rosemary mixed with the sweetness of sweet potato and spices such as turmeric and paprika to create this delicious cracker. This product is also gluten-free.
Looking for something that has the best of both worlds? Deliciously Ella Salted Chocolate Dipped Almonds is the product. Roasted sweet but slightly bitter almonds sprinkled with some sea salt, covered with a thin layer of sweet vegan chocolate and dusted with vegan cacao powder. A combination of crunchy, sweet and savoury.
