Asian Slaw

This beautiful salad is simple to make, super delicious & nutritious. Make a big batch as it keeps in the fridge for a few days.

You can change up the veggies to whatever you have in the fridge, ie. broccoli, cauliflower, celery, zucchini spirals...

NOTE: I used a raw beet in the salad pictured here - that's why it's pink!

Immunity Boosting Smoothie

Makes 2 large smoothies

Smokey Tempeh

One of the best ways of staying healthy is to look after the good bacteria in your gut by eating fermented foods. Like most fermented foods from alcohol to sauerkraut, tempeh is an acquired taste. Give it a try! - Serve this recipe alongside your favourite saucy asian vegetable dish.

Gut Healthy Apples & Oatmeal

This recipe can be enjoyed any time of day, for breakfast, as a snack or even a dessert. The apples, oatmeal help to feed the gut microbiota while the kefir builds it. It also has loads of good fat and protein to keep you satiated and your blood sugar stable. The sweeteners are filled with health promoting properties - so this is a great choice if you're like me and have a 'sweet tooth'...

Cheesey Artichoke Dip

Who would have thought that this ol' standby dip recipe could be healthy?!?!

The secret to making this an energy boosting / 'feel good' dish is in the quality of the ingredients, here's a few examples: - Grass-fed, organic and full fat dairy contains exponentially more CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) than non-grass fed, which helps with the breakdown of adipose lipids (belly fat). - Artichokes help with bile production which emulsifies (breaks down) fat, making it easier to digest. - Then there's the antioxidant benefits of garlic and spinach and VOILA nutritious and soooo delicious!

NOTE: This wonderfully nutritious dip is very high in calories, so if weight gain is a concern... - try and stick to a 1 ounce (2 tablespoon) serving...

Energy Boosting Chicken Liver Pate

Chicken liver is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Great source of iron and certain B Vitamins including Vitamin B12 and choline which helps with memory and boosting energy. It's also a good source of Vitamin A which helps with wound healing and eye health and CoQ10 a powerful antioxidant.

Bone Broth

TIPS:

Bone broth can be frozen and used later instead of water to make grains, soups and stews. Keeps in the freezer for up to 6 months.

I like to cook the broth all day for one day then place in a cool spot (garage/bucket of ice/refrigerator) over night then cook it for another day.
