With tens of thousands of products on the supermarket shelves all screaming out for shoppers’ attention, it can become overwhelming for busy shoppers to figure out who to listen to. Today, we welcome Amanda Clark, an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian to share about how to read food labels and determine if a product is really a healthy choice.

Looking for some ideas for a quick, healthy breakfast, or a post workout snack? I have recently adapted my ‘4 ingredient Healthy Banana Pancake’ recipe to incorporate some extra protein to give me more energy for the day, keep me fuller for longer, and to speed up the recovery from my active lifestyle. It also happens to be REALLY yummy! There’s a recipe for a chocolate banana pancake, and a banana, vanilla and cinnamon pancake.

I love Easter. It is one of my most favourite times of the year for sure! The time off, the family, the friends and the food, the meaning of Easter – it all compacts into a real joy filled long weekend for me, as I’m sure it does for many of you too! However, I’m sure we can all admit to being a bit daunted by the ‘spanner in the works’ of our healthy eating routines. It is all too easy to over indulge at this time of year, especially when you’re being gifted with cheeky choccies left, right and centre.
This year I am planning on helping myself out with preparing some healthy alternatives that will still feel like a treat, but won’t be maxing out my sugar intake! Take a look at the delicious Healthy Easter Nibbles Platter I will be preparing for my loved ones, I hope it will inspire you to create some healthy (but equally as tasty and impressive) treats for you and your family this Easter!

The unconditional love of a well cared for dog, never fails to amaze me. Their intentions are pure, always to please you. They think you are the bee’s knees, the cat’s pyjamas, the ant’s pants – the absolutely the BEST THING to happen to them! For that reason, they’re hopelessly devoted to you. Reflecting on the beautiful blessing that a dog is today I couldn’t help but think ‘what if we loved ourselves as much as our dogs loved us?’…’what if we saw ourselves in the same light our dogs do?’

Get your cooking gear together, today we are making Healthy Bounty Easter Eggs (refined sugar free, gluten free, dairy free), which are simply SO GOOD. If you’re wanting to avoid extra chocolate this easter, this is an option that is refined sugar free and more nutritious than regular chocolate. It is quite energy dense so do you best not to go to town on the whole lot at once (I did, #guiltyascharged #whoops).

This is another delicious healthy pizza recipe for you to try! Making your pizza base with cauliflower is a great way to get some extra nutrients (especially vitamin C!) into your diet. It’s surprisingly delicious and holds well together, it also doesn’t leave me feeling as heavy as regular pizza. I’ve made this one with a vegetarian topping as recently I’ve been reducing the amount of meat I eat. This Roast Pumpkin, Spinach & Feta on Cauliflower Pizza Base is one of my favourite vegetarian pizzas because the flavours compliment each other really well.
This is a great recipe to whip out when you’re next entertaining, or even just as a treat for yourself – so easy, and a far healthier option than ordering a pizza. I guarantee you could make it in the time you wait for pizza to be delivered on a Friday night! Make choices your future self will thank you for 😉

I know first hand what it is like finding a new gym when you move to a new place and don’t know many people or have any recommendations – it’s hard to want to commit to it, or even know where to start. This was my experience in Canberra. Canberra is a very transient city, so I thought it might help some other Canberra newbies too to have a personal recommendation, written from me to you. I went to Next Gen Canberra and it was AMAZING. I wish I had found it earlier. I’ve never found a gym this good, so I had to share it with you!

I love my cheese, dip and crackers – who doesn’t!? These linseed crackers are so simple to make, have a great crunchy texture and so many more nutrients than regular wheat crackers. They are perfect to eat for afternoon tea with some dip, or put them on a cheese platter. The salt, rosemary and roasted sunflower seeds mean they are also tasty enough to be nibbled on on their own if you prefer.
I also really like them because in a single serve they are low FODMAP crackers, so they won’t trigger my IBS symptoms. Additionally they’re sugar free, and gluten and dairy free for anyone with allergies or intolerances to those.

This post is sponsored by Barbecues Galore I was going to start this post with something along the lines of ‘cooking all the ingredients on the same grill plate is magnificent because mixes the succulent juices, infusing flavour throughout each of the elements, creating a magnificent explosion of aromas that drift through the house – the…
