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 recipe was a happy accident resulting from me throwing a bunch of my favourite ingredients into a food processor and hoping for the best, luckily for me, they taste amazing, seriously, I’m not just saying that, I was really surprised by how good these tasted! The beans and nut butter make them creamy and the crunchy cacao nibs throughout give a cookie dough texture 💕
A major bonus is that they are the perfect pre/post workout snack and sooooo nutritious, there’s so much magnesium, fibre & protein in this recipe & is loaded with anti-inflammatory omega 3 fats due to the chia & hemp.
Per dough ball: 6.6g protein

Some people might think of a scone as being unhealthy, however, I believe that with a few tweaks you can make a healthier version, meaning you can still enjoy this delicious traditional food.
Some tweaks I’ve used in this recipe include:
*using a wholemeal flour (I feel spelt is best) which is full of fibre, compared to the standard refined wheat flour which causes spikes in insulin levels and won’t leave you as full as wholemeal
*not adding in refined sugar, sweetening instead with fruit
*using organic, good quality ingredients where possible e.g. in the fruit and dairy products

This is an epically nutritious pasta dish (yes they can exist!) and is made even more so by the addition of the
moringa powder (very high in Vit K,
so do not use if on blood thinners/pregnant) which you can’t even taste due to the combination of the other ingredients. The avocado in this recipe gives a lovely creaminess which is something most of us associate with an indulgent pasta, so you feel like you’re being naughty but are actually being nourished!

The use of the nutritional yeast (provides cheese flavour), beans, lemon, garlic and cashews makes this recipe a much more nutritional version of the classic but is still something you can get your teeth into, plus it’s vegan too!
Another bonus is that it can be made in under 20mins for a super quick meal.
