Blueberry Almond Butter ToastThis delicious wee combo is different, but yummy! It's a nice breakfast to make when you feel like something different but quick. The reason I recommend using paleo bread is because it's high in protein, and when starting the day it's good to have a breakfast that contains a good amount of protein to help stabilize blood sugar levels and keep energy levels high. You could also enjoy this as a snack.
Winter Green SmoothieIt can be very challenging to enjoy smoothies during the cooler months. I’ll be the first to admit that a warm, nourishing bowl of porridge soothes my soul and keeps me grounded for the day. However, on occasion, I do still like to enjoy a smoothie as smoothies truly are one of the best ways to give our body an easily digested dose of nutrients. This wintergreen smoothie is one I’ve been enjoying recently either for breakfast or an afternoon snack. It contains ginger which is great to support circulation, cinnamon which helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, apple which is high in fibre, kale which is also high in fibre as well as vitamin A, C, K, folate and flaxseed oil which has omega-3 fatty acids.
Double Chocolate Banana BreadI receive so many messages from you guys about how much you're loving my banana bread recipes, so I decided why not make a new one! This one is for all you chocolate lovers out there. This double chocolate banana bread is gluten free, dairy free and of course ridiculously easy to make. It’s the #NBnutrition way! It a delicious snack to enjoy topped with nut butter or tahini smeared on top. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Coconut Fat BallsTo my gorgeous followers.... you need these coconut fat balls in your life! Why.... because they are LOADED with healthy fats. Healthy fats are essential to a well-balanced diet. Too often in clinic, I see clients who aren't consuming enough healthy fats for optimal health. These coconut fat balls make the perfect snack and are an easy and delicious way to bump up the healthy fat content in your diet. 3 reasons why healthy fats are essential for optimal health: 1. Fats help us digest fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K and keep our brains, cells, hormones, tissues, hair, skin, and nails healthy. 2. Fat provides the structural component to many cell membranes which are essential for cellular development and carrying various messages (hormones) through our body quickly. 3. Fats can help prevent sugar cravings. The satiety receptors in the brain for fats work faster than sugar, so after consuming fats we feel full and satisfied more quickly and remain that way for longer (hello stable blood sugar levels)!

There is something so satisfying about making your own healthy snacks, they also taste SO much better than the processed kind.

Chia Seed Pudding 3 WaysChia seeds pack a mighty punch when it comes to nutrition, packing more calcium than milk, more antioxidants than blueberries and more omega-3 than Salmon. Chia seeds are also packed with fiber, protein, antioxidants and phytochemicals. Now that’s what I call a superfood! The high amounts of dietary fibre in these chia seed puddings helps with appetite control, bowel movements, and blood sugar levels, all of which can assist weight loss. Chia seed pudding is a simple and delicious way to easily get all the wonderful benefits of chia seeds. They take minutes to make and have enough protein and nutrients to be a quick, on-the-go breakfast, healthy snack or even dessert! You can’t go wrong!
Seedy Choc Chip Muesli BarsLoaded with good-for-you ingredients these seedy chocolate muesli bars are not only ridiculously delicious, they are loaded with fibre and healthy fats to give you lasting energy.

These muesli bars can be enjoyed as a healthy snack or if you are short on time during the week they make a great grab-and-go breakfast option (I would just slice them into larger pieces). These bars get their sweetness from the medjool dates, which also acts as the glue that hold these bars together. These bars also freeze really well, so you can make a large batch and freeze them for those moments when you have to rush out the door but need something to snack on to keep your energy levels high.
Coconut Banana Bread

If you want to make someone's day, bake them this coconut banana bread! Because let's be honest, who doesn't love banana bread! I love it because it’s so simple to make, it’s yummy on its own or wonderful with all sorts of toppings such as coconut yoghurt, tahini, raw honey or smashed banana. It goes perfectly alongside a cup of herbal tea as a snack or this week I've enjoyed it for breakfast toasted, topped with tahini, coconut yoghurt alongside a protein smoothie.

It's full of healthy fats and protein to help keep blood sugar levels stable, yet it still satisfies your sweet tooth from the natural sweetness of the dates.

It's delicious in so many ways, serve it with some unsweetened almond or coconut milk, top it with fruit, yoghurt, or enjoy it on top of smoothies (my favourite way) or you can eat it on its own as a yummy and crunchy snack. This granola is high in protein and healthy fats from all the different kinds of seeds, coconut flakes and coconut oil. It comes together quickly by mixing the ingredients together, coating it with melted coconut oil, cinnamon and brown rice malt syrup for a little sweetness which makes it rich and adds to the nutty flavor, then baking it.
Banana Chocolate Chip LoafYou guys love banana bread so much I decided to come up with another easy, delicious and healthy recipe for you to enjoy, so here you have it! In 2016 the most popular recipe on my blog by far was my buckwheat banana bread, so you guys inspired me to create this recipe. This banana choc chip loaf contains spelt flour, which is an ancient grain, with a nutty and sweet flavour. Compared to wheat flour, spelt is richly supplied with nutrients and is higher in protein, minerals, and fiber. Spelt flour does contain gluten however those with gluten sensitivity can sometimes tolerate it. Spelt is a highly water-soluble fiber, so nutrients are easily absorbed by the body making it easier to digest. Hope you guys love this loaf as much as I do!

There's nothing quite like a delicious chocolate chip cookie, loaded with dark chocolate dipped into a warm cuppa. These cookies go perfectly packed into lunch boxes, enjoyed as a mid-morning or afternoon tea snack, or after dinner for a light sweet bite.

By Increasing the HDL's in the body, it helps promote heart health and lower the risk of heart disease. - Cocoa from dark chocolate is rich in minerals such as magnesium, iron, copper, manganese and riboflavin, essential micronutrients for health and vitality.

These sugar free bliss balls are literally so easy to make, all you need is a food processor and the ingredients and your ready to rock and roll.

Cinnamon RawnolaOkay so you may have noticed from my instagram posts that recently I've been adding rawnola on top of everything. Seriously, it's amazing! It's super simple and easy to make. I like to make a large batch of it which I store in the fridge in an airtight container. It's honestly so versatile you can use it in so many different ways! I've been enjoying it on top of smoothie bowls and a regular smoothie for added crunch. You can enjoy it with chopped fruit, porridge, rolled into bliss balls or straight from the jar, which I may have been caught doing a few times recently. Rawnola (raw + granola = rawnola) has become a little bit of a trend lately. This recipe was inspired by the lovely Lonijane (@lonijane). I tweaked it a little to my liking. Sometimes I like to swap the oats for buckwheat for a gluten-free version. It's really just a simple recipe that you can play around and have some fun with.
Buckwheat Banana BreadOkay seriously guys, this buckwheat banana bread is insanely good! Who doesn’t love banana bread! This recipe makes it even easier to love! It’s so simple, incredibly delicious and amazingly healthy! I’ve been enjoying it on its own or topped with raw honey or tahini. It contains real whole food ingredients. It’s perfectly sweet thanks to the natural sweetness of bananas, and the addition of pure maple syrup. It also has a slightly nutty taste from the buckwheat. It’s completely gluten, dairy, nut and refined sugar-free. It’s a great addition to any healthy diet. You can enjoy it for breakfast topped with a thick spread of nut or seed butter, raw honey, homemade jams, or just with butter if you’re that way inclined. It’s also the perfect morning or afternoon snack. Buckwheat is one of my favourite grains. Well, actually it’s not even a grain, it’s a seed! It’s extremely nutritious and is loaded with beneficial vitamins and minerals. Buckwheat is very nourishing to the nervous system, as it contains a range of B vitamin’s which is crucial for nerve function, as well as the amino acid tryptophan, which helps to make serotonin, the FEEL GOOD hormone. Buckwheat has a light nutty flavour, it's high in amino acids, fiber and the essential minerals manganese, magnesium, zinc, and copper. It’s also rich in anti-oxidants and is anti-inflammatory.
Matcha Energy BallsThese matcha energy balls of bliss are bursting with nutrients and antioxidants from the matcha, pumpkin seeds, dates, chia seeds, and coconut. Don't be scared off by the matcha, until a few weeks ago I had never tried matcha powder before, and now I've fallen in love with it. I've been making matcha lattes, adding it to smoothies and baking. It's so good!! Matcha powder invigorates you. It's very high in antioxidants, amino acids, and chlorophyll, which is responsible for its beautiful green colour. Energy balls are a staple in my home and are one of my fav go-to snacks. By adding matcha powder to the mix it gives you an extra nutrient boost. Whether you're after a quick afternoon pick-me-up, or fixing a sweet tooth craving these energy balls will hit the spot! They're also gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar-free. The perfect sweet, healthy snack. One or two should satisfy your hunger between meals.
Stuffed Medjool DatesThis oh-so-delicious sweet snack is perfect for almost anything, pre-workout, post-workout, an afternoon pick-me-up, post-dinner treat. I absolutely love medjool dates, they are so sweet and chewy with a wonderful caramel-like flavour. Medjool dates are an energy powerhouse, loaded with beneficial nutrients. They are a fabulous source of fiber, potassium, copper and iron. These are the perfect snack if you are short on time but need a quick pick-me-up as the sugars in them break down easily providing you with energy. By adding tahini or nut butter you also get the added benefits of protein and healthy fats to help satiate you between meals. You can literally throw these together in one minute. If you haven’t tried stuffed Medjool dates yet you’re in for a treat, it’s a match made in heaven!
Herb Spelt Flour BreadThis is an adapted recipe from one that was given to me and my classmates during one of our cooking weekends while studying. Our teachers assured us there was no other bread recipe that could be easier and tastier to make, and they were absolutely right. It literally takes no time to make and tastes delicious, especially topped with avocado, poached eggs or my favourite coriander pesto. It's the perfect alternative to store-bought bread and you can alter the flours to rye, buckwheat or other whole grains. This recipe uses spelt flour which is an ancient grain, with a nutty and sweet flavour. Compared to wheat flour, spelt is richly supplied with nutrients and is higher in protein, minerals and fiber. Spelt flour does contain gluten however those with gluten sensitivity can usually tolerate it. Spelt is a highly water-soluble fiber, so nutrients are easily absorbed by the body making it easier to digest. This bread has become a staple in my home, I always make a couple loaves, slice them up and then freeze them. This makes sure I always have a healthy nourishing bread option on hand when needed.
Blueberry Banana Oat MuffinsThese healthy blueberry, banana oat muffins are super yummy and easy to make, you can whip up a batch in under 10 minutes, then pop them into the oven to cook away. Perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack. I often make a batch on Sundays to enjoy throughout the week. Perfect for kid’s lunch boxes too! They are bursting with goodness and are dairy and refined sugar free.
Nori Veggie WrapsThese nori veggie wraps are nourishing, filling and delicious. They are jam-packed full of nutrients, fiber, vitamins and minerals (especially from the nori sheets which give you a healthy dose of iodine, important for thyroid function). What's better is that these can be whipped up in 5 minutes. There's isn't really a specific 'recipe' to speak of here as all you really need is two nori sheets, hummus and any vegetable fillers you like. I always use thinly sliced carrots as they are a staple in my fridge, and for this recipe I also used thinly sliced cucumber as cucumber is super refreshing and tastes delicious with hummus. I make my own hummus however a store bought one would do the job. Nori is a seaweed, and the health benefits of seaweed is enormous. It is the best source of nutrients (iodine, calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin C and A, protein, B vitamins, alpha linoleic acid, EPA) and fibre to name just a few.
Chocolate Bliss Balls

I am totally obsessed with bliss balls! They are an absolute staple in my fridge. They are the perfect healthy snack you can go to during the busy working week, and the best part is you can whip up a batch in under 10 minutes! I usually make a big batch in the weekend, then during the week I grab a couple and put them in a container to take with me during the day. These keep me satisfied and satiated between meals, especially if I'm after a quick boost of energy or have sugar cravings. They are also delicious after dinner for a little healthy treat, or they make a great nut-free addition to kids' school lunchboxes.
