I LOVE this smoothie, this takes me back to when I was a child and my mum used to make us all something very similar!

I love these pancakes when I’m feeling a bit naughty…….however, they are not actually THAT bad for you so there’s no need to feel too naughty!! I added blueberry and banana into my pancake batter but you could try strawberries…

Lentil soup is such a massive hug in a bowl and perfect for this time of year when the weather is changing. Lentils are awesome as they contain a high amount of fibre and protein per serving and are also super high in vitamins and minerals …

I’ve just started a two week ‘liver cleanse’ with Your Tea which means caffeine is out of the question. My morning Chai/Earl grey will be put on hold and so will my satisfying luxe matcha latte and spicy vegan chai.

As you may remember I recently went to the Williams Sonoma cooking school at Bondi Junction. I did a ‘gluten free’ class with a focus on Besan Flour. Along with the delicious Socca and Baba Ghanoush that we made we also made gluten free falafel.

Snack time is always the most dangerous time for me. Give me a bag of potato chips I’ll eat the whole lot, chocolate biscuits? Umm….yes please! So I’ve tried to find ways to always have snack food on hand that is not going to pile on the pounds and is still tasty and satisfying!

RECIPE FOR ORANGE, MANGO, BANANA SMOOTHIE x x You all know how much I love my smoothies and this one is an absolute gem! Refreshing and creamy all at the same time….and full of goodness of course!

Popcorn is so much fun and easy to make! It reminds me of making big batches as a child with my brother (although we covered ours in salted caramel!!). I’ve put together a ‘sweet’ and savoury’ option for you, but they are both so yummy!

YUMMMM! Similar to my v’day chocolates this is so easy and looks so impressive if you pull it out at a dinner party. It literally takes 10 minutes to make! Because of the fresh fruit it can only keep for a couple of days…

As promised this is my second in a series of posts I’ll be doing on meal prep! This post should give you some good ideas and inspiration if you are struggling to find easy, healthy snacks that you can take with you when you are in a rush or ‘on the go’.

FIG, GOATS CHEESE AND HAZELNUT RECIPE FROM CHISWICK RESTAURANT x x

I have many disasters in the kitchen – believe me! As I keep on telling you I don’t really see myself as a cook at all I just love being in my kitchen creating…..well, when it goesto plan at least 🙂

Don’t worry I hated Brussel sprouts as a kid too! Now I LOVE them, they are so tasty when roasted and added to other ingredients…..I promise!! I made this with Freekeh but if you are gluten free you could make it with Quinoa…

Recently I was invited to take part in a Williams Sonoma’s cooking class. This is something I did not want to pass up, I’ve had my eye on their classes for some time now and seeing as Bondi junction is my local store I knew all about their products and beautiful cooking space.

Just like my breakfast crunch and my salad topper this is made up of all the leftover things I have in my cupboard! Nuts, dried fruit and seeds! I wouldn’t exactly call this a recipe, its more inspiration for when you are looking for healthy snacks ‘on the go’…

Watch my youtube video on how to make easy Almond (or any nut) milk at home! Oh….and don’t forget to subscribe to my youtube channel x x

The same way I feel about supporting local markets and organic growers I also feel about businesses. However, living almost in the heart of Sydney means I am spoilt for choice with all the amazing cafe’s, restaurants, fitness studios, activewear brands and so on.

Just like my protein balls you can keep these in the freezer which is so handy! I love the fruity, orange taste they have with the crispiness of the buckinis and the turmeric taste!

My biggest weakness is pretty much anything potato! Crisps, hot chips, mashed potato, rosti, baked potato, fries…. When I started to become a bit more conscious about my health the family sized bags of crisps…
