Turkish Delight Bliss Balls
I’m a bit obsessed with rosewater at the moment, since adding it to my Berry Kombucha so I thought I’d make up a Turkish Delight Bliss Ball recipe. These balls didn’t last very long in our house, even my girls loved the rosewater flavour. Rosewater is good for the skin too which is a…
Choc Banana Mousse
This recipe seriously takes 5 minutes; it’s got 2 x serves of fruit in it and is refined sugar free. I got it from the lovely Kat, and it’s a great one to use for overripe bananas if you don’t have time to make banana bread. My kids inhaled it which is good, as I am…
Apricot, Coconut and Chia balls
These balls are great for school lunches or a pre/post post workout energy kick, due to the oats, which are a great complex carb that provide us with slow releasing energy. Good amounts of protein also, with the chia and sunflower seeds, (which kids will not even notice) plus are refined sugar free and high…
Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss Balls
These little balls rock. They’re also a great way to use up strawberries that have seen their best days. Kid lunchbox friendly as they are nut free, and they still have a good amount of protein in them with the cream cheese and chia seeds. Chia seeds help with concentration too as they’re high in…
Blueberry and Kiwi Chia Puddings
These are little powerhouses of fibre and protein. They make a great breakfast or are a good sweet fix. Chia puddings are the easiest thing in the world to make; 5 minutes tops and they only take a few hours to set. My kids love them too, and you can mix them up with other…
Raw Snickers Slice
This is raw, vegan, gluten free, (if you get the gluten free oats) refined sugar free, dairy free, blah blah blah. Still modifying Lisa Williams and Dee Bourke to make it fructose friendly! It’s still delicious, but watch your serving sizes as it does have a few kj with all the coconut oil, maple…

Healthy Choc Popcorn Slice
This is an easy no bake slice that’s good for the kids and for adults. It took me about ten minutes to make and will set in the fridge in an hour to an hour and half. Put it in the freezer for 20 minutes if you need it set quicker. It’s refined sugar…
Healthy Choc Chip Cookies
I adapted these from the Healthy Chef Teresa Cutter recipes, but I actually think mine are better! Less refined sugars, as they are sweetened with choc chips and maple syrup. They are higher in protein and lower in carbs, as I used half almond meal and half oats. Plus I added peanut butter. So I…
Double Choc Banana Cake
There’s not too much sugar in this cake; 1/2 cup plus the dark chocolate chips isn’t really too much spread over a whole cake. It’s super easy to make, plus it doesn’t take too long to cook. Leave the icing off if wanting to keep it half healthy though! I was making it for my…
