These are so easy and tick the protein box if, like Henry, your little people go in and out of love with chicken, fish, eggs, everything… 😂

1 egg, 100g chopped hazelnuts, a blob of peanut butter, a dash of water and then some ground flaxseed and some cinnamon because why not??

And as it’s a case of just pour all of the ingredients into a blender, blitz and then squish into balls before baking, children can absolutely get involved. (Not that you can’t just make these for yourself!)

You can play around with the ingredients. I just use flaxseed because it’s an excellent vegan source of omega 3 (usually found in oily fish), and I use cinnamon because it’s a powerful spice known for how well it stabilises blood sugar. The nuts were pistachios in the original recipe but I find chopped hazelnuts are easier to blend!

If you do try these, let me know what you think. I freeze my batches to just grab as and when!

This!!

Some kids aren’t “bad.”
Some kids just have a bad diet.

Too much sugar—especially from soda, sweets, or processed “kids’ foods”—can cause serious issues.

It spikes blood sugar.
Crashes energy.
Disrupts self-regulation.
Hijacks dopamine.
Affects sleep.
Impacts mood.
Alters focus.
Inflames the nervous system.

In children, this doesn’t just make them hyper.
It causes dysregulation.

Big emotions.
Impulsivity.
Irritability.
Aggression.
Anxiety.
Meltdowns.
Energy crashes.
Behavior swings.

And somehow, we normalize it.

Sugar at breakfast.
Sugar in snacks.
Sugar in drinks.
Sugar in “kids’ foods.”
Sugar in medicine.
Sugar in vitamins.

Then we ask:
“Why can’t they focus?”
“Why are they bouncing off the walls?”
“Why are they having meltdowns?”

We medicate behavior…
but market sugar.

We label kids…
but don’t clearly label products.

We blame parents…
but design addictive food systems.

Not every emotional child has a disorder.
Not every hyper child has ADHD.
Not every meltdown is a discipline problem.

Sometimes it’s blood sugar.
Sometimes it’s dopamine.
Sometimes it’s diet. 🍎

We are in the midst of a massive health crisis. Type 2 diabetes, soaring rates of cancer, increased mental health problems, rising infertility…
Yet no one is talking about why.

You wouldn’t load thousands of cars with paint instead of the petrol they’ve been made to thrive on and expect them to work fantastically for years to come.

Yet we’ve spent three or four generations loading humans with chemicals in food, skin products, our environments and now we are starting to see the consequences.

For a few generations we got away with it. But now it’s all going a bit wrong. Yet we still do it. Every single day. Desperately finding anything else to blame but the way we live and eat.

I really do want to know why it doesn’t seem obvious? 😬

Random, but!!! It’s always worth checking the baby food aisle for things like snack bars, gingerbread and biscuits because the ingredients are so much better and rarely contain sugar.

Tried these last night and they were really nice! Such a short and recongnisable ingredients list which is always a win for me!

Although why it’s socially acceptable to load food with additives, E-numbers and syrups as soon as a child hits one is beyond me!

Divide 6 strawberries and a small thinly sliced cucumber between 8x80ml popsicle moulds. Place 60ml gin, 250ml light tonic water and around 60ml no-added-sugar lime cordial in a jug and stir to combine.
Split between the moulds, cover with foil, insert the popsicle sticks and freeze for a few hours!

It’s never too early to get summer vibes going!!

We get it. We are also drowning in too much to do, two small children, night feeds, winter can’t-be-arsed ness. The lot.

We’ve had our share of battles and struggles to get where we are. We have lived low self esteem, food issues, set backs.

We get that great nutrition comes with compromise-convenience, lack of money, lack of time. And that exercise can’t always be consistent or at our 100% best.

We listen, we adapt, we work for what you need. Menopause, anxiety, pregnancy. It all affects health and what works for you.

Most importantly we believe so passionately in what we preach that we live it without question.
Exercise and nutrition take priority, herbs and supplements are staples and we never ever take for granted this many opportunity to be alive and to therefore live our best lives.

We guarantee that eating poorly and being sedentary will not give you your best life. It doesn’t have to be perfect but often even a few small changes or some direction so that you know that the changes you’re making are the best ones for you.
