10.01.2022 How do you make sure your breakfast smoothie not only tastes great but also ticks key nutritional boxes..? Smoothies can be a super quick, convenient and nutrient packed breakfast, and perfect coming into summer! But likewise, like all things, it’s so important to get the balance right. They can become surprisingly energy dense (high in cals, fat and sugar), while often lacking in protein. They tend to get unbalanced if you choose too many ingredients from one main macron...utrient. For example, if you add coconut yoghurt, avocado, nut butter and chia seeds, the total fat content will really creep up, and therefore the total cals. Likewise, if you choose mango, banana and fresh dates, the total carbs will be high, and protein will be low. Choosing 1 ingredient from each main food group is a simple way to ensure your smoothie is both delicious and balanced. Balance your next smoothie with these tips: Choose dairy (regular milk) or a dairy alternative such as plant based almond, soy or oat but ensure plant-based options are fortified with calcium Proteins such as natural yoghurt, silken tofu, plain protein powder, soaked cashews or almonds* (also source of good fats) are all great options Seasonal fruit is always the way to go but I love strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwifruit, and citrus Carbs can be rolled oats, quinoa flakes & even higher carb fruit such as banana, mango and fresh dates Smoothies are a great way to sneak in an extra serve of veg such as baby spinach leaves, kale, cucumber, grated carrot or grated beetroot Don’t forget your good fats like nut butter, avocado, flaxseed oil and chia seeds For a flavour and antioxidant boost add cacao, turmeric, ground cinnamon, fresh ginger or mint . . .

09.01.2022 Eggplants are one of my FAVOURITE veg, they are so versatile and delicious as well as being extremely nutritious, rich in fibre, vitamin B6 and antioxidants (in their skin). However, they often get a bad rap as traditionally they are cooked in a lot of oil. Here are some healthy tips for cooking eggplants: Choose eggplants that are firm, glossy and feel heavy for their size.... We used to be told to salt eggplants, but modern varieties of eggplant really don’t need ‘salting’. Eggplants are extremely porous so will absorb a lot of oil if you let them. Instead of drizzling, try lightly brushing with extra-virgin olive oil. Oven baking or grilling/barbecuing is a great way to cook eggplant without needing to add excess oil. Simply brush and bake slices of eggplant in a hot oven for about 30 minutes, or brush and grill for 3-4 minutes each side. Sprinkle with ground spices (such as cumin, coriander, paprika) before cooking. Slow-cooked eggplant takes on a whole other flavour and texture, and it’s delicious! Brown eggplant cubes (in the oven) then slow cook with onion, garlic, canned tomatoes and spices until eggplant is soft and creamy Yum! . . .

08.01.2022 RECIPE Rolled oats make a delicious, golden and nutritious alternative to regular breadcrumb coatings. I like to crumb flat head fillets, or chicken tenderloins and serve with home baked potatoes and salad for a home-made version of fish and chips you can feel good about! Simply combine 1 cups rolled oats, 1/3 cup chopped herbs (chives, dill or parsley all work well), and the finely grated zest of 1 lemon in a shallow bowl.... Place cup flour of choice in a second bowl and 2 eggs, lightly whisked in a third bowl. Dust firm white fish fillets (such as flathead) or chicken tenderloins in the flour, then dip in egg mixture and finally coat in the oat mixture. To cook, either place on a baking tray, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and bake at 200C until golden, or pan-fry in a little extra-virgin olive oil, about 2-3 minutes each side. Serve with a big green salad, lemon wedges and oven baked potatoes - YES PLEASE! . . .
