Best recipe I’ve made so far! You’ll ❤ these notella nibbles. They’re soooo creamy & melt in your mouth good!
I call these “no”tella nibbles as there isn’t any processed nutella in them but they taste so amazing that you’d think there was!
These homemade treats are also great because you can enjoy them knowing exactly what’s in them, no hidden nasties!
I made this recipe 2 ways, one without crunchy cacao nibs/nuts and one with them so you can choose whichever one you’d prefer. Personally, I loved the crunch of the cacao nibs.

The base of strawberries, banana & nut butter use to be my favourite combo of all time however as my knowledge on nutrition and food has evolved I’ve learnt how to incorporate different foods into my dishes to boost the nutrient and goodness intake without compromising on taste. In some cases, I even improve on taste like the addition of cacao which gives a lovely guilt free chocolatey flavour to a smoothie/shake.

This dinner can be made in under 15min, is well balanced, nutritious, 2/5 a day and all you need to give you a little boost after a hard day!
For those who may need more protein & are meat eaters, feel free to add some fried turkey mince etc.
I love this combo as you get all your macros: carbs from sweet potato, protein from beans/lentils and good fat from the hummus, plus the fat helps the vitamin A absorption from the potato and it’s packed with lots of fibre too!

Yes, you read that correctly. A chocolate pie with benefits, woop woop!
I didn’t even realise what I had made until after it was finished, then I marvelled at it (and proceeded to fill my face with it).
It’s so good that it even got the seal of approval from health food phobic family members!

This was another one of those dishes that I thought would taste just nice and actually then tasted far more amazing than expected which left me regretting I didn’t make a bigger batch.
Super easy to make and helps you get another veg into your day, plus it’s a nice change from the usual white or sweet potato chips and is lower in the carbs so I don’t feel guilty about the mayo, woohoo!
Other benefits to eating more parsnips include the nutritional bonus of fibre (keeps you full even though they’re not high in calories), potassium (great for heart & BP), manganese and vitamins K and C.

This is honestly one of the best combos I’ve ever come across and soooo simply to make, go get some, you know you want to!
I’ve given the recipe instructions 2 ways, so you can choose whichever way suits you/the meal you’re having e.g 1 banopsicle is great as a healthy, not overly filling dessert or you can have it as breakfast/lunch nicecream (uses half the recipe) and serve with whatever you have on hand e.g fruit, granola etc.
I often find that for some dishes almond butter is too rich so I prefer cashew & with this recipe it pairs amazing well with the sweet banana & chocolatey cacao to give one of the creamiest, most delicious “icecreams” I’ve ever tasted (that includes dairy ones).
