This high-protein pesto chicken salad contains 30+ grams of protein, it's low-carb, gut-loving, and blood sugar friendly. This is actually one of the lunch recipes I created for my November 2025 10-Day Blood Sugar Reset program. I thought I'd share it with you and give you a sneak peek to show you how simple and delicious the recipes in my 10-Day Blood Sugar Reset program are. This is a great meal prep option which is quick and easy to make.

This decadent salted chocolate torte is my current obsession. It contains no added sugar, but you honestly wouldn’t even know. It’s rich, silky, sweet from the dates, and so unbelievably satisfying. It’s also far more blood-sugar friendly than your typical dessert because the natural sweetness is beautifully balanced with healthy fats, protein, and fibre. And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time if you want to make it for a celebration or to share with guests. This one is always a show-stopper.
Light, crunchy, and full of healthy fats. This cucumber, avocado & feta salad is the perfect combo of freshness + flavour, and it’s of course blood-sugar-friendly too. It’s one of those recipes that’s so easy, you’ll want to make it every week. Perfect for busy nights or sharing with friends or family. Plus, it’s a skin-loving salad, as it’s loaded with healthy fats and anti-inflammatory goodness to nourish you from the inside out.
These dark chocolate fat bombs are packed with healthy fats and antioxidants, the perfect combo to keep your blood sugar steady and your sweet tooth satisfied. Because balancing your blood sugar doesn’t mean giving up chocolate.
If you have a sweet tooth and have 5 minutes then you need to make these cookie-dough-stuffedvdates. Who doesn't like homemade healthy cookie dough, and stuffing it in a date just makes it ten times better! You only need a few ingredients, one bowl and you're good to go!
This is the kind of nourishing, comforting meal I crave when I want something warm, protein-packed, gut-loving, immune supporting — and the best part? It comes together so quickly. Like all my recipes, this one is high in protein to support blood sugar balance, hormone health, and weight management. It’s also loaded with fibre-rich veggies and includes two of my favourite gut-loving ingredients: bone broth and leek (a great prebiotic). It’s rich, creamy (without dairy!), and totally family-friendly. I often make this when I have leftover roast chicken in the fridge — it’s such a great way to repurpose leftovers into something new and delicious.
I make these gummies regularly for my kids to support their gut and immune health, and now I'm finally getting around to sharing it with you! Why Gummies? Gelatin is a gut health superstar! It helps with healing the gut lining, improving digestion and reducing inflammation. Plus, it’s a fun, kid-friendly way to sneak in extra nutrients! I use Metagenics Kids E.N.T Immune Care and cod liver oil for their incredible immune-boosting benefits. Cod liver oil is rich in DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid), as well as vitamins A and D. These nutrients are crucial for immunity, bone health, promoting brain function and reducing inflammation, while the Kids E.N.T powder supports overall respiratory and immune function.
This blueberry chocolate smoothie not only supports liver health, it also supports gut health and is blood sugar supportive which means it also supports hormonal health. Supporting blood sugar balance and liver health are the foundations for supporting hormonal health. INGREDIENT BENEFITS: - cauliflower: estrogen detoxification, fibre to gut health - flaxseeds: estrogen detoxification, an amazing source of fibre to support the microbiome - organic blueberries: rich in anthocyanins, antioxidants that reduce inflammation and protect the liver from oxidative stress - protein: amino acids needed to proper liver detoxification
This is a great dinner recipe to make that's light, easy to make and loaded with protein, fat and fibre to support stable blood sugar levels. It's low carb and paleo friendly. It's also extremely nutritious as it contains liver which is a superfood. Liver is high in iron, choline, B vitamins, and vitamin A.
This combination may sound a little strange at first, but trust me, it's delicious! This breakfast is high in protein which is exactly what your body needs to start the day. Higher protein breakfasts will also support stable blood sugar levels, reduce cravings and support weight balance. This chocolate almond butter omelette is also easy to make and kid friendly too!
Prep it the night before and it's ready the moment you wake up, no effort required. Every single ingredient in this recipe is doing something beautiful for your skin. Chia seeds are a great plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids which help reduce inflammation, support your skin's moisture barrier, and keep it looking plump and healthy. Avocado brings vitamin E and healthy monounsaturated fats - both essential for skin elasticity and protecting against the kind of oxidative stress that accelerates ageing. Matcha is rich in antioxidants called catechins that help protect skin cells from damage, and gives you a calm, steady energy without the coffee jitters, and the manuka honey has natural antibacterial properties and gut supporting benefits. Your skin will thank you for this!
This decadent chocolate mousse smoothie is all kinds of delicious! It’s a fantastic breakfast option if you prefer a sweeter breakfast. It's jam-packed with healthy fats, antioxidants, minerals, and protein to nourish your body, give you glowing skin, support stable blood sugar levels, and give you lasting energy.
This anti-inflammatory smoothie is jam-packed full of goodness. This is a recipe that I often recommend to my clients, particularly if they have an inflammatory condition. Inflammation is at the core of most common health woes - such as weight gain, gut dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, skin issues, auto-immune conditions, to name just a few. If you’re struggling with an inflammatory condition or any kind of inflammation, give this smoothie a try.
