With my 5 day sugar free challenge starting on Monday I thought I’d give some tips that may help people not only for the challenge, but also to reduce sugar in their day to day lives. Breakfast: in some ways this is the hardest meal to do sugar free if you’re used to supermarket breakfast…
Chicken, Sweet Potato and Turmeric Soup
We’re officially more than half way through Winter, sing alleluia to that, especially on a day like today! This soup is actually quite high in protein with the chicken, almond meal and coconut milk. It’s gluten and dairy free and absolutely delicious. The almond meal also makes it quite thick and a little bit…

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…
Pumpkin and Chickpea Curry
Great for a meat free Monday! A dish that’s easy to cook the day before, plus the flavour develops with time, as with any curry, and is even better the next day. A healthy dish to start your week off with. (serves 3-4) This recipe just uses tinned chickpeas but if you like soaking the…

I am often asked why food intolerances are so common. There are a number of reasons; the western diet, poor digestion or sometimes it’s hereditary. Research is showing our modern diet can be high in sugars, animal fat, caffeine, alcohol and processed foods. A diet which doesn’t necessarily support healthy gut bacteria but rather promotes…
Protein Shake
There is a lot of protein in this one, so better to just to have this one after an intense work out or on if you’re on a short term weight loss program. Not one to have every day but it will certainly keep you full until your next meal. Just make sure you have…

I love caffeine….the stronger the better! It gets me pumped for the day, it makes me think clearer, plus surprisingly its good for blood pressure in the right moderation. This is one of my breakfast options in my new spring cleansing weight loss and wellness program. It’s easy to make, and kindve like breakfast and…
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…
