This crumble is the perfect way to use up stone fruit that might be getting a little over ripe or that you have an excess of. It’s also just a delicious was to eat it. It’s completely dairy free and lower in fat and sugar than a regular crumble. As a bonus, it’s easy to make.
STEAMED OCEAN TROUT WITH SESAME, GINGER AND GREENS
The perfect thing when you want something, light, quick and nourishing. Green vegetables and omega 3 rich ocean trout make for a well balanced meal, especially when you serve it with some brown rice to soak up the delicious sesame and ginger dressing. You can have a healthy and oh so tasty dinner ready in about 20 minutes, and that’s a win in my books.
GRAB AND GO BREAKFASTS
MISO AND MINT BROAD BEAN TOAST
Broad beans are delicious, and if you’re screwing up your face right now maybe you just haven’t eaten fresh, double podded broad beans before? Because if you haven’t you are missing out on some serious yum. Plus things on toast are great. Thus this recipe has two great things going for it.
BANANA WHOOPIE PIES
Whoopie pies. They sound ridiculous. And they’re so good. It’s basically two light sponge halves with a crispy exterior sandwiched together with creamy goodness. Delicious right? These little guys taste like banana cake and have less added sugar and oil than your typical treat so although they are a treat they’re a slightly lighter one. But they don’t taste like it and that’s the trick.
FLUFFY CHOCOLATE PANCAKES
I love all kinds of pancakes, from delicate French crepes to the fluffy American style. These are a quick and easy version of the latter and they have chocolate in them so you know they’re going to be good. Plus they are free of added sugar and full of protein to keep you full for longer. Add some fruit and a scoop of yoghurt and you’re good to go.
SNACK YOUR WAY TO 5 VEG A DAY
You’ve probably realised by now that I’m a little obsessed with getting in my veg each day. I think it helps keep my diet balanced and my body happy. I find that having vegetable based snacks really helps me do this. This post contains 4 snack ideas and a new recipe for some yummy vegetable crackers, as well as handy information on how many serves of veg these snacks will give you.
VEGGIE BURGER
If you’re after a fun, quick and easy meat free monday idea then this recipe has you covered. I’ve been playing around with veggie patties for a while now and I’m finally really happy with one. This patty has a good ratio of vegetables and legume, and a flavour that doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the burger components, just gets a nice little harmony going on with them. And that’s exactly what I wanted from this burger.
HEALTHY LUNCHES, ZERO PREP
These lunches are aimed at people who have a work kitchenette and actually get a lunch break – but have limited time for lunch prep outside of work. Or, like me, maybe some days you’re just not that organised and need something you can throw together at the start of lunch that’s more nutritious than two minute noodles (and isn’t a tuna salad).
OVERNIGHT OATS WITH CINNAMON NUT CRUMBLE AND CARAMELISED PLUMS
This is a delicious breakfast and perfect as we approach summer as it’s both cold and involves summer stone fruit – yum! You can make everything the night before so in the morning you just layer it all together (also known as throwing the topping in your oat jar/container) and you’re ready to run out the door.
