At the moment I am loving black beans in savoury and sweet formats. They are versatile little bundles and great in your lunch box or dessert. At the beginning of the week I make a black bean salad – 2 tins (rinsed), tbsp. apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil, 1 tamari sauce, tbsp….

Man Flu Soup
Man flu is described as illness that causes the male species to become helpless and sicker than any other family member. In females; it is described as cold. Therefore, I concocted this “Man Flu” soup recipe to rescue the male of the house from his man flu death bed. The Christmas holidays have come and…
Peanut Butter, Banana & Blueberry Protein Bites
Last week I got my paws on Quest Protein Powder – peanut butter flavour, my kryptonite. My source is Sporter.Com. Personally, I find Sporter great. It saves so much time going to the store, delivery is fast and their prices are reasonable. I am not getting paid or sponsored to write this either, they provide…
Egg Muffins
This week I was strolling around the supermarket in Abu Dhabi and I stumbled on Golden Irish Fresh Free Range Eggs. Needless to say, I stashed a dozen in the basket whilst deciding what to make. A poached egg, fried egg, boiled or an omelette. Then I had a light bulb moment and thought Egg…
The Healthy Knickerbocker Glory
The healthy “Knickerbocker Glory”, can be rustled up in minutes. Personally, I gulped it down post workout as I added Nua Naturals Rice Protein to the mix. Instead of the original recipe using ice-cream, I used frozen banana which gives a thick, creamy consistency. I have a stash of banana’s in the freezer , they are…
Sesame, Lemon & Honey Flapjacks (GF)
“There is no sincerer love than the love of food”, (George Bernard Shaw) Nothing compares to the aroma of freshly baked flapjacks drifting throughout the house or apartment in my case. Flapjacks are very easy to make and eat! They are great to share with family and friends. I liked mine topped with COYO (yogurt…
Healthy Nutella
Were you aware that Nutella hails from Italy? Like most, I am an avid fan of this chocolaty hazelnut spread. However, I wanted to make a healthier version to enjoy on my porridge or add to a hot protein chocolate drink. This recipe contains less sugar and no added oil but still not a golden ticket…
The Great Pumpkin Brownies
As I stated in a previous post I have started to order vegetable boxes from RIPE, they sell seasonal, organic, local produce in the UAE. Inside the box , on this particular occasion was some glowing orange pumpkin. So, I thought to myself “bet they would taste scrumptious in the form of a brownie”. They…
Coconut + Cinnamon + Raisin Loaf
Todays recipe is Coconut + Cinnamon + Raisin Loaf. All three go hand in hand in creating a loaf that you would happily eat in one sitting. However, that is not recommended for health reasons but don’t let me stop you. I found it tasted nicer the second day so try and save some. Wrap…
Smoked Mackerel with Shredded Beetroot, Carrot & Zucchini Rice
This recipe is similar to a rainbow on your plate, an anti-oxidant rainbow. So many beautiful colours like purple, orange and green. It is bursting with vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants to nourish your body. The zucchini/courgette rice is not your typical white rice. It is zucchini grated and tossed in the pan with coconut oil….
