25.01.2022 P A N C A K E S made with banana ans zucchini + berries and coconut yoghurt to serve. - Zucchini are readily available most of the year in Australia. This is when they are their most nutrient rich. Members to the gourd family alongside cucumbers. They are closer cousins to the pumpkin. Zucchini’s contain a good source of soluble and insoluble fibre which is great to help with high cholesterol as well as digestion by carrying the bulk of your food through your gastrointesti...nal tract. They have a good source of potassium which is great for a steady heart beat and vitamin C in their raw state which will help boost immunity and benefit all our cells in our body. - Serves 1 for the pancake 2 Tbsp Coconut/Olive Oil 2 small ripe bananas 1 (1/2 cup) small zucchini, finely grated, excess moisture squeezed out 2 Tbsp coconut flour 1 Tsp Coconut Sugar 1 Tsp Cinnamon 1 Egg - Greek or coconut yoghurt Berries - In a large bowl add banana, smash with fork until smooth, add finely grated zucchini, coconut flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon and egg. Mix well together until all combined. Preheat a non-stick frying pan, medium heat, add oil. When hot, get a cup measure and evenly scoop in pancake mixture and dollop into pan (tip* makes around 5 pancakes, can do in batches to make it easier). Fry for 2 minutes then use a spatula to flip and do the same the other side Load into lunch box with coconut yoghurt on the side and a handful of freshly washed berries - Happy Tuesday. Rx

25.01.2022 S P R I N G salad this is my Botanist Wild Rice Warm Salmon Salad coming soon in my newest #VitaminSea eBook (hopefully launching next week). - Salmon is a great source of omega 3 essential fats (EPA and DHA), it will support and reduce the body’s inflammatory response, improve mood and anxiety related symptoms and may help in protection from chronic disease. It is a great source of protein which will help keep you satiated and fuller for longer. Wild caught salmon cont...ains chromium which will help with blood glucose balance, a touch of magnesium (nature’s tranquiliser), potassium to help with fluid balance within the body and to help maintain a steady heart beat as well as selenium which is a brilliant micronutrient to have in small doses which help reduce oxidative stress on the body. - Happy Thursday.

25.01.2022 S L O W cooked beef cheek lasagne, a winner in my eyes. I wrote and developed this recipe for the wonderful @ausorganicmeatco using yummy @obeorganic beef cheeks. Slow cooked for 6 hours so they fall apart. So many benefits to slow cooking. It is much gentler on digestion and an easier way of absorbing the protein as it has been broken down that much more. This lasagne has been made the traditional way using a tasty bechamel, mozzarella to give it that extra gooeyness, serve with a big garden salad - Recipe link below. Happy Tuesday.

22.01.2022 B R E A K K I E if you watched my stories yday I have made up a batch of the breakfast coconut quinoa #gifted to me from @keenwah_au , the concept is to cook once and you have 5 breakfasts ready to go. I am all about mealprep, something which I encourage my clients to get into a habit of doing it. It takes the stress out of decision making at the end of long days or perhaps early morning gets up. - Hubs and I had our first breakkie from this and I loved it. This particular ...one I loaded into a bowl, topped with zinc rich pepitas, hemp seeds, strawberries and a pear and poured in some coconut milk. Perfect protein packed breakkie to set me and bump until lunch. - Quinoa Is actually a seed, it has a really low GI, so they work so well as slow release energy and don’t impact your blood sugars. Up and down blood sugars can play havoc with our mood, inflammation and weight gain. They are also one of the only grain (seeds) that have all of their 9 essential amino acids and is considered a full protein. So great to heal, repair and protect tissues, cells, muscles around the body and keep you satiated for longer. - Happy Friday Rx See more

19.01.2022 Q U I C K Sunday lunchmake extra for lunches tomo. This is a classic on high rotation at home chicken pesto parcels. This recipe is with butterbean mash, but would be delicious with a cauli mash. - ingredients - for the pesto:... 2 cups basil leaves 4 cloves garlic, peeled 6 tablespoons almonds 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated 2/3 cup olive oil sea salt and pepper - for the chicken: 4 chicken breasts (around 200g each) 4 free range middle rashers of long bacon - for the butter bean mash: juice from cooked chicken parcel 2 400g tins of butter beans, washed and rinsed (1/2 tin per serve) 2 teaspoons sea salt 2 lemons, squeezed season to taste with more salt and pepper - instructions: Preheat the oven to 180c The secret to a good pesto is not to whizz up the ingredients too much, so it remains slightly chunky. In a food processor or nutri-blender add all of the ingredients apart from the salt and pepper and blitz well until a chunky consistency. Taste pesto and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed Slice the chicken breast to create a cavity for the pesto to be dolloped into. Evenly distribute of the pesto into each cavity. Wrap the bacon around each chicken breast to make a little parcel. Carefully place each parcel on baking tray. Smother the 4 wrapped breasts with the remaining of the pesto on top. Place in the oven for 30 minutes. Check after 30 by cutting through chicken to ensure it is cooked through. Leave to sit for 5 minutes. The tasty juices should run out of the chicken (save this for the butter bean mash) In a large frying pan, add half the juices from the chicken and 2 tsp sea salt. Add butter beans, gently heat for 3-4 minutes, toss butter beans in cooked chicken juice. Take off heat, squeeze fresh lemon. Mash with potato masher, add remaining chicken juice, season to taste. Evenly distribute mash onto 4 plates/Tupperware pots and top with cooked chicken. Add fresh basil leaves to garnish. - Happy Sunday Rx See more

18.01.2022 V I T A M I N S E A eBook is NOW LIVE & ready to purchase - I cannot tell you how excited I am for that the launch of my newest eBook Vitamin Sea - Curating this eBook stemmed from not being able to find one resource that provided balanced, nourishing and simple seafood dishes for myself as well as my clients.... - On top of this, I have seen emerging patterns in my nutrition clinic. From zero incorporation of seafood into weekly meals, little direction of knowing how to cook a well-balanced meal with seafood. There is also noticeable low intake of essential fats, omega 3 are one of these fats, known as mother nature’s natural anti-inflammatory and is abundant in seafood. This fat is crucial for brain health, mood, anxiety, PMS etc. and deficiency can host an array of systemic and chronic conditions. - So, I have brought together 15 nourishing, nutritious and well balanced seafood recipes that you can incorporate into your weekly regime. They are uncomplicated to follow and taste delicious. All made using natural and unprocessed ingredients. - I have also included an abundance of nutritional benefits, importance of balancing essential fats, tips and tricks when choosing seafood plus more... - All for only $10 delivered straight to your inbox.

17.01.2022 M E A T F R E E M O N D A Y S give my lentil shepherds pie ago. I love making this dish in bulk and freezing for later. Makes great #pregprep - You can really bulk it up with a good selection of reasonably priced vegetables that are available all year round. Grating veggies create a good texture, perfect to hide from fussy eaters and creates a good consistency in a pie like this. I love this nutrient dense meat-free meal which is suitable for all the family and it really... budget and time friendly too. - Lentils are a type of legume or pulse. They are high in protein and low in kJ and fat. They have a high dose of protein, fibre (which is great for our cholesterol and digestion (including constipation). They can help lower our blood sugar spikes which is ideal for diabetes management. A source of iron to aid with ailments such as anaemia. A rich source of b-vitamins; Vitamin B3 will help with energy levels, Vitamin B9 (folate) will promote healthy blood cells and reduce the risk of neural birth defects. Lentils are also a good form of high resistance starch. What is meant by this; Resistant starch does not degrade in the small intestine but works more within the large intestine (colon), they are fermented into short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) one of which is called butyrate. This has benefits such as improvements in insulin sensitivity and improvements in glycaemic control. Resistant starch also adds more bulk and fibre reducing conditions such as; constipation, risk of colon cancer and improvements shown also in reducing high cholesterol, as well as creating more diversity in the bowel microbiome. Lentils can cause flatulence and bloating, to overcome this issue, start off by soaking them and rinsing them well before cooking. If likely to bloat start off with small amounts then slowly increase over time. - This scrumptious recipe is in my #meatfree eBook, find the link in bio. Rx See more

17.01.2022 F O O D for Goose #labrador (slightly off topic) but so many of you have asked what goose eats, as I mentioned in last nights post he eats about 5-6 veggies a day. This diet was designed by a vet (I always suggest get a vet to work with you on this - if you are in brissie I have a great one I go to). This diet it has done wonders for goose. He had very itchy skin, stools were all over the place and also no store bought food was really working and I didn’t like what went int...o them. Labs are hungry and prone to being overweight and obese, the vet told me and I did my research they are not born with leptin (the hormone that says enough is enough with food), so they never know when to stop!!! Also another growing statistic is there is growing amount of dogs with type 2 diabetes (WTF!!) - down to the food you eat. - His weekly diet (you need a slow cooker, we cook it over two days then he is sorted for the week), it is simple throw it all in and cook for 3 hours. - 7 days worth (am & pm (14 containers)) for a 28kg dog - 2 x lg whole chickens 1 x of jap pumpkin, roughly chopped, skin left on, seeds used too (rich in zinc) 4 x large sweet potatoes, roughly chopped - Add all the above into slow cooker topped to the brim of water, 3h, high heat - 2 bunches of bok choy, finely chopped 2 broc heads with stalked, finely chopped 2 tins cooked brown lentils, drained and rinsed - Load up containers by stripping chicken, potatoes and pumpkin. Top each container with bok choy and broc, followed by lentils - When serving his food he also has cod liver oil, flaxseed oil - For snacks he has raw roo bones (available at woolies) 1 a week, 100g chicken livers (some raw, some cooked), handful of raw beef strips, raw carrots, apples (core removed), bit of Greek yoghurt and ocassionally mussels for extra zinc for skin. - It is so much more reasonable then dog food. I get the veg in bulk and by chickens in bulk and freeze them when on offer. Plus we have not had any issues with weight management and he is full of beans. - Ask me any questions. Always recommend talking to a vet who is keen on dietary changes to improve health of dog. Rx - Pic by @bird.i.spy See more

13.01.2022 W I N T E R is all about slowing it down. This is a great one to try over the weekend. Slow cooking is great for hands off time in the kitchen and letting the slow cooker do the work for you. If there is any kitchen investment one should make, a slow cooker can really help busy people with busy lives eat well, more consistently. Slow cooked meats are gentle on our digestion, easier to absorb nutrients and perfect for anyone really, but beneficial for people who suffer from ...any digestive issues or disorders. - Chuck steak is a reasonable cut of meat and a perfect way to eat organic and make that meal go further. This meal serves 4-5 people making it around $2.80 per head. Chuck steak is fabulous to slow cook with, it has striations of fat throughout which makes the results that much tastier. - Did you know that research found that organic beef is richer in omega 3 than grain fed. Omega 3 is a brilliant anti-inflammatory which can help a multitude of functions in our body. Omega 3 is known as natures Panadol. Combine this with an array of nutrient rich vegetables; carrots (rich in beta carotene, great for immunity, skin and eye health), celery (can help with high blood pressure due to potassium content, fibre for digestion, folate for birth defects) , onions (anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties, rich in antioxidant quercetin which can help with allergies, good source of fibre for your gut), , tomato (when cooked great source of lycopene brilliant for prostate health) and Tuscan kale (member to the cruciferous family; supports the liver, fibre for digestion), which are available most of the year around.

12.01.2022 S T U F F E D capsicum with sardines. You can now buy skinless and deboned sardines from @brunswickfoods (not sponsored just I know people have issues with the bones/skin in sardines) - Sardines are a great source of omega 3 (612mg/100g) (EPA and DHA for brain development and function for vision, learning ability, coordination and mood (they contain tryptophan which is the precursor used to make serotonin happy hormone)). They reduce the stickiness of the blood, control... blood cholesterol, fat levels, improve immune function and metabolism, reduce inflammation and help maintain water balance) which are definitely essential in your diet. The smaller the fish, which are from cold waters are much better for you, they contain higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids which will help every cell in you body, they are rich in protein, niacin (great for depression), vit B12 (8.3ug/100g) (nervous system), magnesium (46mg/100g) (sleep) and zinc (3.1mg/100g) (immunity). Oily fish (such as wild caught sardines) are rich in vitamins A (retinol specifically 106ug/100g) and D (6ug/100g). Omega 3’s will help with body inflammation (injury, skin problems etc), it will encourage the body to fight infection and will also help your peepers! Substantial amounts of good fish will help you sleep better, aid with depression, PMS symptoms, bone and tissue repair and so much more. - Serves 1, takes 30 mins - Swipe to get the recipe.

01.01.2022 S A U E R K R A U T Many of my clients have asked me how to make sauerkraut or should I buy storebought. My answer if you have about 15 minutes spare on the weekend, make up a whole batch of sauerkraut. All you need to do is store it in the cupboard, then the following week you will have homemade kraut. - How much should I be having? fabulous to have on a consistent basis, no more than 1-2tbsp a day. This will get your your daily recommended dose of fermented foods in a day.... Fermented foods are a cornerstone of a nutritionist’s belief. It should be incorporated everyday in small amounts. - Traditional uses: Sauerkraut is the vegetable of a thousand virtues Hippocrates. As far back as the Roman times, they believed that by starting a banquet with cabbage and finishing with it helped with discomforts of over indulgence. Cabbage has also been traditionally used for the treatment of gastric ulcers. It is now known that gastric ulcers are caused by the bacterium, helicobacter pylori. Enzymes within cabbage have been found to inhibit their growth. - Nutritional value: It forms two great strains of good bacteria called lactobaccillus plantarum (can help with anxiety, diabetes, eczema, high BP, high cholesterol, reduce inflammation are to name a few) and lactobaccillis brevis (can help with diarrhoea symptoms as well a boost your natural killer cells which are required for fighting pathogens). These strains are both essential and both great for boosting immunity. - 1 medium size red or white cabbage, hard leaves removed, finely shredded Place shredded cabbage in large non metal bowl with 1.5 tbsp salt, mix then leave to sit for 10 minutes. You then need some elbow grease to scrunch for 10-15 minute until all the juices are released and it feels watery. Pack cabbage tightly into seal proof sterilised glass jars (sterilise by pouring in boiling water, tipping out then air drying or place in hot oven for for 10 minutes) cover cabbage with about 2cm of its own juices, top up jar if needed with filtered water. Leave about 5cm from top of jar. Screw lid on and leave for 3-4 days in a dry cupboard out of direct sunlight. Ready to use & place in fridge once opened. Rx See more

If you are a porridge person, change your what you put in there, add a variety of seeds, buy a bag of different nuts and swap a banana for a chopped apple. ...Nothing drastic but just simple change how. - I try and get most of my nutrients from food I eat. I think sometimes we can get caught in the trap of constantly supplementing in vitamin c, where we can actually get so much from foods we eat. - Did you know that refined sugar can inhibit the uptake of vitamin C and it can also suppress our immune system stopping it functioning at its peak. - This morning I went for resistant starch rich raw oats (feeding my good gut bacteria) and a handful of puffed rice, zinc rich pepitas, almonds, gut loving kefir, raspberries, blueberries , strawberries, kiwi (all rich in vitamin c and antioxidants), coconut milk and cinnamon (rich in chromium to help with blood sugar balance), 3 mins to make. - All about quick and simple.

In the last 30m of ribs and potatoes in the oven, in medium bowl add slaw mix and sauces and mix well together, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, set aside. Serve up with remaining glaze.
