OMG, I’m so proud of these! This recipe is actually quite low in sugar with lots of healthy fats from nuts, seeds, coconut and some protein powder. Plus the colours can be achieved from many different fruits so this recipe is super easy to make, don’t be thinking you won’t be able to find half the ingredients, this one is quite versatile.

I’ve made the topping for these 2 different ways so that if you can’t get hold of the coconut yogurt (Coyo) which I used (I got it in a big Tesco) which is my first choice for best results, then you can still make them using a full fat can of coconut milk which you can get in any supermarket. It must be full fat as you need to use the solid parts to make it set. I prefer and used Biona organic coconut milk as they have more coconut than water, other brands can be more dilute so you might not get the right amount of solid coconut that you need, plus they don’t have preservatives either.

You can also use whatever fruit/powders you have in your kitchen to create the colours, I made this a few times and used a variety of foods such as:
–turmeric powder
–matcha/spirulina powder
–beetroot juice
–blended berries/mango/cherries

☘ Why simply add spinach to your omelette when you can blend it and make it a St Patrick’s day green! A great way to start your St Patrick’s day (or a healthy breakfast for the morning after when the effects of the festivities begin to take their toll!) Plus it’ll be funny to see the looks on peoples faces when you tuck into a green omelette & they’re wondering how the heck you made it green, go on, you know you want to! ☘

Such a simple, no fuss, delicious, nourishing meal. Full of fibre, vitamin A and good fats!
This has been one of my go to meals for a while now. I’ve used a nice contrasting combo of sweet honey (or maple if vegan) and smokey paprika to give flavour to the butternut squash but it gets even better when you taste it with the creamy cashew butter 😍
I personally wanted a different kind of flavour with this dish which is why I chose the paprika but feel free to go with cinnamon if you prefer, I’ve tried it both ways and they’re just heaven!

Ok, I know what you’re thinking, “cottage cheese in pancakes?!”.
Yes!
This works so well, it gives a guilt free creaminess & lots of moisture to the pancakes, plus when they cook they remain soft and moist on the inside, trust me, when you bite into creamy, cheesy goodness you’ll not regret making these.
Seriously, this is one you have to try in order to see how good it is, so please try them.

This is perfect for a post workout meal due to the protein and good fats, plus the cottage cheese is naturally lower in fat than other cheeses & also a good option for those on pancake Tuesday who don’t have a sweet tooth.

This one has been one of my go to meals on numerous occasions when I need a quick meal after a workout/busy day & which is also nourishing. I usually have half an avocado floating around the fridge anyway ready to be used up and I always have a packet of microwaveable lentils or quinoa in the cupboard for speedy meals like this.
If you don’t have any leftover turkey/chicken (or are vegetarian) then you could always poach or scramble up an egg pretty quickly, or just leave it out, there’s still a good dose of protein from the lentils.
Also a great lunch idea for the next day that won’t take up too much time from your evening, if your mixing the avocado in with the other ingredients for the next day then use the lemon dressing for the avo as it will stop it from browning.

This is a spin on the 5 min burger bun recipe I did a few weeks back.
I also use the recipe for breakfast too were I toast/heat the bun slightly and use it as a breakfast muffin with typical brekky toppings for a nutritious yet different way to start the day other than a bowl of cereal or smoothie.
