Middle Eastern Chicken
This is a quick, fuss free meal that should suit most of the family. Nutritionally balanced with good complex carbs to maximise energy, plus lean protein to help build muscle. Loaded of nutrients with the broccolli, herbs and sweet potato which is high in Vitamin A. The broccoli and almonds give it a calcium kick,…
Chicken, Broccoli, Cranberry and Walnut Salad
It’s officially salad season! Yippee, my fave time of the year and my fave thing to eat and make. I posted this recipe last year but I’ve changed it’s slightly to make it higher in protein, lower in fat and I think, even tastier. It’a a good calcium hit too with the nuts and broccoli,…
Mason Jar Salads
I had totally forgotten about how delicious, easy and convenient Mason Salad Jars are until the very funny Hoffy reminded me that that they work well for her when she’s on a health mission. You can make a few at a time so you’re organised for the week, they are versatile as you chop and…

Beefed up Tabbouleh
This is exactly what it’s called….Beefed up Tabbouleh. It’s beefed up in the fact that it’s served with beef on the side, but also it’s tabbouleh plus more! The photo doesn’t really do it justice, I should’ve put a bit more love into it….but photography is not my strong point! I’ve been doing this salad…
Festive Salad with lemon dressing
This salad looks festive with most ingredients in it red and green and the golden nuts. The prefect salad to have at the Christmas dinner table with either meat or seafood, and the lemon dressing helps cut through the fat of the meat. It looks impressive and is pretty healthy too. I made it for…
Toasted Pumpkin, Avocado and Mint salad
High in fibre and B vitamins, combined with the protein of the walnuts, this salad is filling. The dressing is what makes it though; hardly original, but this dressing goes with everything!

Pumpkin, Kale and Blueberry salad
Everyone is obsessed with kale at the moment! It’s a great green and super healthy; full of fibre, antioxidants, iron, calcium and B vitamins to name a few. You actually need to be careful not to eat too much raw though, as it can interfere with iodine absorption. I think it actually tastes best when…
Vietnamese Slaw
The lemon zest, toasted sesame and Vietnamese mint work really well together in this salad. It’s super tasty and is low in fat. By adding the chicken and cashews it increases the protein too, so it makes it quite balanced. (Gluten free, dairy free, fructose friendly, low in salicylates. If fructose intolerant be careful not…
