Homemade #miso#soup with #spinach. Super easy super yum super #healthy I made the #broth using dried anchovies dice a whole onion and add into broth along with spinach I sift the miso through the boiling water. DONE! Too easy! Another way to get all your veggie intake! Curbs the hunger in between meals, under 100 #calories
"A #healthy#spinach side dish/#salad . 1. Boil a bunch of English spinach 2. Let it cool 3. Tbsp of miso paste, tsp of Chilli powder and a sprinkle of Chilli flakes, 1/2 tsp of sesame oil and then just toss.
"I'm a sucker for #fries#hotchips satisfied my cravings for a #healthy alternative baked sweet potato fries. Turned really crispy!!
"#zucchini sliced and battered in #egg then fried in #olive oil till perfection!
"#healthy pumpkin oatmeal protein muffins. 500g of pumpkin grated, 6 egg whites or 3 whole eggs, 2 cup oats, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 unbleached wholemeal flour, 1/4 tsp of salt or if you like sweet muffins you can add stevia. Then #bake !

This concoction consisted on a handful of #spinach and #kale 3/4 of a small #tomato 1 whole #cucumber 1 finger sized #rhubarb 1/4 #orange #capsicum and the coriander just made it even more amazeballs!! MmmMm

"Attempting to be creative with my #breakfast options My #healthy version of " #bircher#muesli " 1/2 cup of #oats dumped into a leftover tub of #natural PB (about a level Tbsp) chucked in some #raw nuts, berries and pear Topped it off with 1 cup of warm #water or unsweetened almond milk (add stevia if you wish) and let it soak overnight Eat it on its own or a dollop of natural yoghurt!! with #cinnamon YUM!! Can't wait to try it. Hope it turns out to what I expect it to be

Paleo inspired recipes
Burger without the bun?! |
"#Healthy Delicious #paleo friendly #kangaroo #burger !!steam #sweetpotato (to spread on the burger) while that is steaming cook up your #meat I used large flat mushrooms instead of burger buns - grill the mushrooms until you start seeing the juices oozing out Assemble - I used pickled #chutney , thought it would be appropriate to really get into the Aussie 🐊 tucker. So quick and simple and #YUM
"#KANGABANGAS !! My closet option atm to try #kangaroo meat! Probably one of the leanest meats you will find per 100g = P: 16.8g F: 1.7g C: 3.8g Cals: 100 the kangaroo #burger comes in even more #lean !! For those who are trying to find alternatives to #chickenboob kangaroo is really great!! You can look all products up at macromeats.com or #woolworths have them in stock! First time trying this #protein and I definitely could get used to it! YUM nomnom. Will definitely try and find just the meat not a burger or sausage as these do have small amounts of additives. Just wanted to experience the taste. Now my dad is chowing on it, better go pack some for lunch before it's all gone
"Obsession with #chickenboob haha been having so much fun on my #meal #prep days! Saves me so much time during the week! I've also mastered the ways of not having to eat dry #chicken when reheated!! Got a platter of #portuguese#moroccan#thaiand #mexican (spices) chicken cooked with #coconut oil.
The Functional Food - Coconut Oil
"Post inspired by @ninapoo after she freaked out hearing that I would be working on a #cleaneating #recipe using COCONUT milk. Friends do not underestimate the wonders that this #superfood provides!! Many avoid coconut milk, oils, meat etc thinking saturated #fat - must steer clear!! But this is clearly not the case. It has been classified the "functional food" coz of its #health benefits beyond its #nutritional content. The #composition of the #coconut consists of more 90% saturated fats, however all sat fats are not created equal. Sat fats found in some other oils have been artificially manipulated (assists with storing fat) while some occur naturally like coconut oil. 50% of the fat in coconut oil is made up "Lauric acid" which our bodies convert to a component called monolaurin which has anti-viral, bacterial, Protozoa properties (basically helps fight off disease and viruses) Coconut oil is also natures richest source of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA's). These acids are easily digested and immediately burned by your #liver for #energy (without the #insulin spike) as opposed to long chain fatty acids (LCFA) which are larger in size and difficult for your body to break down, stored as fat (common in vegetable or seed oils) It is also better to cook with c.oil rather than olive oils as the components change in these oils when heat is applied. Other benefits - optimise body weight, increase #metabolism and aid #weightloss, regulate cholesterol levels, increase performance, reduces inflammation, improves insulin secretion and utilization of #blood glucose, immunity, hair and skincare... goodness I could go on! For further info go to www.coconutresearchcentre.org or huffingtonpost.com But remember I always say this...EVERYTHING IN MODERATION!! "
