There are lots of websites online featuring nut and seed loaves, some with oats, some with quinoa, some with added sweetener or gluten-free flours. I decided to share my own go-to loaf which I make about once every 2 weeks, slice and keep in the freezer for quick nourishing breakfasts or with soup for lunch. This recipe has come about after trial and error and lots of experimenting with various ingredients (and having to substitute things because I'd run out!).

I'm a total sucker for foods with great texture. That's why I love a good chia pudding! I know most people are very polarised and either love or hate these little seeds, but I'm a fan!Other than the great texture, and the delicious taste you can create (when using this recipe!) chia seeds are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium. 

Super refreshing with a little zing, this smoothie bowl is on rotation as part of my daily routine.You can substitute blackberries for raspberries or blueberries with the same delicious result. Packed with hidden greens, and healthy fats, it's a nutrient dense breakfast which will keep you satisfied for hours.

Who doesn't love an Afghan biscuit? Grain-free and refined sugar-free, these biscuits don't contain the usual cornflakes, flour, and sugar that the original recipe calls for, but give the same decadent satisfaction and are a real crowd pleaser.

Many raw 'caramel' slices online these days are full of sugar, which taste beautiful but will spike your insulin levels (which tell your body to store fat if it's in excess) and trigger your body to want more and more!This decadent slice is not the same. With natural sweetness from the coconut and only one teaspoon of rice malt syrup, it won't dramatically spike your blood sugars and send you into a food coma! Yay. I do caution you however, that it's so delicious you will want to store it out of sight!

Want a healthy nutrient packed after dinner treat? Or something to whip up for the kids after school? This delicious Instant Chocolate Pudding is so healthy it can be made the night before for a nourishing and decadent breakfast!With healthy fats from avocado and chia seeds, hidden veg with the zucchini (crazy I know, but promise you can't taste it!) and minimal sugar, this is a must make, especially while avocados are so cheap right now!

What's better than a fudgy brownie with an added vegetable? TWO added vegetables! Well a fruit and a vegetable to be exact, but it's gotta be good for you!

One bowl (or food processor actually), quick baking time and plenty of flavour, these mid-week meal or lunchbox gems are sure to be a hit, especially dipped in the cashew aioli.

Incredibly nourishing, this dahl recipe is the ultimate winter comfort food.Simple to whip up, you only need one pot and a few ingredients-my kinda meal to prep!The dahl keeps really well in the fridge and the flavors meld together beautifully overnight and it's even more flavorsome the next day!

Deliciously light and flavoursome, this salad has just the right amount of crunch from the almonds and a slight sweetness from the goji berries. Healthy fats from the avocado and protein and slow release carbohydrates from the beans, this salad will keep you full for hours. 

I love a good granola recipe and am always trying out new combinations.This was a great one I made for friends last Christmas as gifts and it went down really well!

This is pretty much my go-to breakfast every morning in summer months.Fresh, filling and an awesome way to sneak in those extra greens, this nutrient-packed smoothie is sure to make you feel nourished and vibrant!

As a child, CookieTime Apricot and Chocolate Bumper Bars were my favourite!I used to save my pocket money and buy them at the school tuck shop. Not only were they delicious but teenager me thought they were a healthier alternative to chocolate bars.

I made these after craving some of my Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bread one afternoon. I love muffins with little bursts of fruit flavor, so added some raspberries and they took these to the next level!Gluten free, egg free, dairy free and refined sugar-free, these got a rave review from hubby who said they were literally the best thing I've ever made! High praise indeed.

I made these for a vegan girlfriend whose daughter was turning one. Even with plenty of cake on offer, the muffins were a hit.Sweetened only by banana, these gluten-free, nutrient dense muffins are perfect for breakfast on the go and great for kids lunch boxes too. 

These delicious lunchbox fillers are perfect for school, the office, post workout or that 3pm slump, but without the added sugar of commercially produced bliss balls. Give them a try, they might become the next family favourite.

Easy to make, this makes a nice change to a toasted granola.Nutty and slightly sweet, it pairs perfectly with yoghurt and fruit in the morning or to top your smoothie bowl. Or even do as I do, and eat it straight off the spoon from the fridge!
