You’ve got to love a quick, easy and healthy breakfast – especially when all you need to do is grab it from the fridge and it’s ready to go! That’s the great thing about this simple recipe, make it the night before (even increase the quantities so you can batch make a few portions), layer […]
Cherry Coconut Oat Cookies
Coconut, dried cherries and oats come together in a crunchy but chewy, sweet and chunky cookie recipe making them one of the ultimate snacks.

Pumpkin & Chocolate Swirl Slice
Pumpkin is incredibly popular at this time of year – mostly as a means of carving and creating scary designs, but we shouldn’t let that delicious mild flesh inside go to waste! Remove the thick skin, cut into cubes and steam then blend – and there you go, your very own (cheaper) pumpkin puree. I […]

Filling, packed full of fibre and slow release […]
Dark Chocolate, Apricot & Pumpkin Seed Energy Bars
I think a good snack bar packed with natural energy thanks to dried fruit, oats, seeds/nuts is one of my favourite things to make at the moment. Once you’ve nailed a good basic mixture – in this case, a combination of dates, maple syrup and nut butter to combine the dry ingredients and create a […]

Chocolate, Raspberry & Beetroot Cheesecake

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Slice
Today has to be my favourite ‘National [insert food here’ Day’ – PEANUT BUTTER DAY. It’s my answer when someone asks what’s the food I can’t live without. 100% I consume it in some way or form every day, and I still can’t decide if I prefer crunchy or smooth to be honest! In celebration […]
