Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Talk about the perfect dinner! Beautifully balanced macronutrient wise and popping some serious punch in flavor, these stuffed sweet potatoes will win the whole family over.If you're more a fan of the plain old potato, that will work too, but I can't go past a good golden kumara!
Drool Worthy Raw Caramel Slice
I realised the other day I didn't have a Caramel Slice recipe on the website (despite making this one numerous times) and in my humble opinion, every good website needs a Caramel Slice recipe ;) I’ve remade this classic decadence using only wholesome and natural ingredients, as I always found the original very sickly sweet. Just me?
Blueberry Buckwheat Bircher
You may have noticed I'm on a bit of a buckwheat kick recently (after my Vegan Buckwheat Nut and Seed Loaf). I'm loving it as an alternative to oats in the mornings now the weather is cooler.Despite what its name suggests, buckwheat is not actually a wheat grain, but a fruit seed, related to rhubarb. Naturally gluten-free, buckwheat is high in protein, fibre, and antioxidants, and boasts a range of health benefits including supporting heart health and digestive disorders.
Vegan Buckwheat Nut & Seed Bread
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!).
Chocolate Chia Pudding
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.
Blackberry, Lime and Ginger Smoothie
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.
Healthy Afghans
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.
Chocolate & Caramel Nut Slice
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!
Instant Chocolate Pudding
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!
Avocado Brownie Fudge
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!
Hidden Veggie Falafel with Cashew Aioli
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.
Sweet Potato Dahl
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!
Broccoli, Kale and Bean Salad
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.
Olive Oil Seeded Goji Granola
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!
Green Smoothie Bowl
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!
Chocolate & Mango Bumper Bars
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.
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Raspberry Muffins
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.
