I love this nutrient rich salad with ribboned carrots and sea spaghetti in a lemon and tahini dressing. It’s vibrant, earthy, crunchy and packed full of calcium, iodine, betacarotene, selenium, vitamin C, B vitamins and so much more.

Spiced Fig and Apple muesli square recipe – for breakfast, brunch or afternoon tea.
Like flapjacks, but softer and more exotic.

One of my favourites this time of year is  my black bean casserole. Black beans are nourishing to your kidneys, and help ease you into the colder months.

Nutrition isn’t just about what’s on your plate – it’s about how well you digest, absorb and utilise that food.

Here are some tips to help you make sure your food is nourishing you, and to prepare your body for supplementation – including recipes for fermented vegetables (sauerkraut), bone broth and linseed tea.

I forget how much I love autumn! The refreshing rain giving nature a new earthy vitality, the Virginia creeper (pictured above) with growing patches of deep red amongst the darkened green, the warmth and smell of the woodburner, the faint aroma of casserole season…

Cocoberry dessert
My favourite healthy strawberry recipe is this light but decadent and super healthy dessert.
You just need: oat cakes, coconut oil, raw honey, coconut cream, strawberries – surely staples in any summertime cupboard! Dairy free, yet super creamy and delightfully delicious!

We are often taught that we need high levels of carbohydrates – starchy foods and sugars – for more energy, especially for sporty people. In fact we can make energy from most types of food, and countless high performance athletes have now proven that a high protein and vegetable diet can be just as effective if not more so. To get more energy from foods, you also need to be digesting and absorbing your food properly, and you may also need to focus on specialised hormonal support.

Fancy a light and zingy, creamy and refreshing, decadent and healthy springfresh treat?

This recipe is so simple, just blend:
100g coconut cream
1tbsp lemon or lime juice
1 tsp raw honey

Today I made soup – not a hearty rich winter warmer, but a light and fragrant Asparagus and Nutmeg soup that really hit the spot.
