Recently I was invited to take part in a Williams Sonoma’s cooking class. This is something I did not want to pass up, I’ve had my eye on their classes for some time now and seeing as Bondi junction is my local store I knew all about their products and beautiful cooking space.

Just like my breakfast crunch and my salad topper this is made up of all the leftover things I have in my cupboard! Nuts, dried fruit and seeds! I wouldn’t exactly call this a recipe, its more inspiration for when you are looking for healthy snacks ‘on the go’…

Watch my youtube video on how to make easy Almond (or any nut) milk at home! Oh….and don’t forget to subscribe to my youtube channel x x

The same way I feel about supporting local markets and organic growers I also feel about businesses. However, living almost in the heart of Sydney means I am spoilt for choice with all the amazing cafe’s, restaurants, fitness studios, activewear brands and so on.

Just like my protein balls you can keep these in the freezer which is so handy! I love the fruity, orange taste they have with the crispiness of the buckinis and the turmeric taste!

My biggest weakness is pretty much anything potato! Crisps, hot chips, mashed potato, rosti, baked potato, fries…. When I started to become a bit more conscious about my health the family sized bags of crisps…

I have been making protein balls since the beginning and I know there are heaps of recipes around for these delightful snacks, I just wanted to share with you one of my favourite combo’s 🙂

TURMERIC SMOOTHIE XX. If you haven’t got a herb garden or fresh herbs and spices to hand, don’t fret! I love using dried spices in my food and they can have amazing health benefits that you may not be aware of.

I could have this for breakfast, lunch or dinner! It definitely feels like a meal so is something I would have after a big workout or on my rest day when my body is craving some serious nutrition. I often have this with smoked salmon which works really well! I cook my quinoa as outlined in this recipe.

You could say I’m a control freak (….understatement!) and as you know from my previous posts I hate being caught out eating bad food when its not on my terms. Cue service stations…

Recipe for vegan spicy almond chai….my favourite cuppa! You might already know that my battle with Rosacea has left me without my beloved coffee, every morning I will have a cup of black chai or earl grey tea and that is my fix!

As I’ve said in other recipes I don’t have a particularly sweet tooth! However, if I am caught out its nice to know that what I am consuming is all natural and not full of refined sugar (and who knows what else!).

Tropical smoothie recipe. I love tropical flavours like these, in my opinion you really can’t beat, fresh pineapple, mango and coconut..YUM!

EASY CHEAT MEAL XX. I usually have an avocado on my windowsill, a tin of organic tuna in the cupboard, free range eggs in my fridge and some quinoa and brown rice in my pantry.

I wanted to put this on my site before I forget about it! As well as it looking so pretty it was so tasty and full of lots of goodness! I love my smoothie bowls (if you follow me on instagram you will know only too well!) and this is a great one to add to the collection 🙂

I’m not vegan but I have found my overall health and skin improve since cutting down on dairy. I can’t remember the last time I drank cows milk and now that i’ve seen the ease in making my own fresh nut milks I can’t see myself ever going back.

I thought these would be perfect to make for Valentines Day 🙂 I love chocolate, orange and ginger combined, so good! I have used raw, organic crystallised ginger…

I really didn’t realise how easy ‘nut milks’ are to make until recently and you can create so many infusions and flavours to suit your taste or that dream smoothie you keep on thinking about.

Everyone is always telling me that they find it really hard to cut down on bread. I can understand why, its so easy to make sandwiches and take them to work, make some toast in the morning and buy that crusty baguette on the way home.

This is a simple smoothie I make at home when I pick up a few kiwi’s at the market. I usually always have mixed berries in my fridge or freezer so I can add in other fruits when I like.
