Kale Chips
They've been all the rage the old kale chips but I will honestly tell you that I genuinely enjoy them, not just because I feel like I'm being healthy! If you get the oven temperature, the flavours and the resting time right they can be seriously delicious.
Buckwheat Banana Bread
Who doesn't love banana bread? Toasted on the outside, but moist in the inside with a sweet banana flavour and crunchy bits of walnuts.
Coconut, Almond & Buckini Chocolate
Cacao really is amazing! Super high in anti-oxidants, a great source of magnesium and also a source of tryptophan which is needed to produce our happy hormone serotonin. I've combined it here to make a chocolate and it's seriously easy so everyone really should try making their own chocolate

Even using sugar substitutes or small amounts of natural sweeteners can have your body still craving for sweetness so I have put together a list of 20 snacks that are sweet free and isn't your boring old vegetable sticks or a handful of nuts.
Pumpkin, Spinach and Feta Muffins
Being gluten free it's hard to find muffins that are still moist, filling and delicious..but these are just that! They're a great snack and can even be a good option for breakfast paired with a green juice or an almond chai.
Spinach and Zucchini Loaf
This loaf is so versatile I have been known to consume it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and as a snack (not all in the one day of course!). It freezes perfectly and can go straight into the toaster for a quick go to nutrient hit. The almonds are full of healthy fat and vitamin E, the oats help to stabilise blood sugar and calm the nervous system and the psyllium husk although mainly used as a binding agent here, can help to regulate the bowels.
Almond Butter Balls
These little body good balls are such a great snack with a long list of health benefits. Oats
are an amazing food that help stabilise blood sugar, regulate the thyroid, reduce cholesterol,
soothe the nervous system and improve digestion. Almonds are full of good fats and provide
an excellent source of Vitamin E.
