This is a regular breakfast option for me when I know I need a breakfast that will keep me feeling fuller for longer than usual.

You may have seen that the Heart Foundation have recently revised their nutrition guidelines and I for one am very pleased with the new recommendations.

No meal allows you to not only pack in a heap of veggies but also to hide those veggies quite like Bolognese does!

Just in case you haven’t heard by now (although I’m not sure where you’ve been if you haven’t!) gut health is kind of a big deal in the nutrition world.

Okay so I don’t have dessert often but when I do it MUST taste incredible! Sometimes this means going for an option that’s not a ‘‘healthy’’ dessert because let’s be honest, raw treats rarely taste that incredible!

Not only does the slow cooker preserve nutrients due to the slow and low cooking method but also having all ingredients in a sealed unit means minimal loss of nutrients.

If you are yet to try a homemade curry paste, then prepare to be amazed! It sounds difficult but honestly it’s a matter of roughly chopping some ingredients and chucking them into a food processor - so simple!

Snacking is definitely one of the most common questions I get asked. People want a definitive answer of if they should snack or not and if I say yes, they want to know exactly what, how much and when to have it.

It might be Winter but it doesn’t mean salads have to be off the menu completely! Including cooked veggies into your salads is a good idea in the cooler months but another great tip is to add some warming spices like cinnamon, turmeric and cumin.

Food safety is a funny one because I find some people are anal with sticking to use by and best before dates and some people prefer to take more of a risk and let things go until they pour milk into their smoothie and realise lumps probably aren’t a good thing!
