BANANA 🍌 BLUEBERRY 🫐 PROTEIN 🍞 BREAD….
This is so easy to make - most of the work’s done in your blender. Super healthy full of fibre, protein & healthy fats to keep you feeling fuller for longer. We love this for breakie & I know I’ve given my kids a good start to the school day with v little refined sugar ✔️
🧠 I pull this out when school exams are lurking, as research suggests the frozen blueberries can help with memory & focus 💫
💙
Ingredients:
1.5 cups oats (gf optional & blended) - you could use regular plain flour, but I prefer this for extra fibre
2 tbsp seeds - eg. chia or flax
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp nuts of your choice
4 eggs
3 ripe banana
6 dates (a few more if desired for sweetness)
1 cup blueberries - I prefer frozen
100g cottage cheese (Extra points & when this is blended you can’t taste it at all)
Pinch sea salt

Recipe:
1. Heat oven to 180 degrees. Line a loaf tin with banking paper & prepare some muffin cases for any leftover mixture.
2. Put the oats & chia seeds in a blender & whizz until you have a fine powder. This is your ‘flour’. Then add in the baking powder, cinnamon, salt. Pour mixture out of the blender & Set aside.
3. Then add in the other wet ingredients to the blender eg. Banana, dates, eggs, cottage cheese plus your nuts & whizz it up. When smooth, add in the dry ingredients & whizz up in the blender for a few mins until well mixed.
4. Pour into your loaf tin & then add your blueberries, pushing some down through the mixture.
5. Bake for 30-35 mins until golden & a skewer comes out clean.
Voila & enjoy! It’s so moist & delicious. 💙 Best served warm with some butter or nut butter. Keep in air tight container & eat within 3 days.
❤️ Let me know if you try this & pls give me a ❤️

H O L I D A Y 🌞 H E A L T H 🌞 While my head’s in the sand about the new school year in Sept, I’m already thinking about pre-school immune modulation which is more than just what you eat. Our non negotiables for my family on holiday are:
🌞
1. Some travel supplements. We love immune formula which my kids also have, which has been proven to reduce coughs and colds, magnesium glycinate which helps with everything from nervous system & sleep to pms & blood glucose regulation.

2. Eat seasonally & locally. The big joy of travel for me - I love exploring the local markets & stocking up on rainbow veg & fruit full of polyphenols to keep our gut biomes & taste buds happy.

3. 4. Balance eating in & out. Helps the hol budget & ensures we keep up plenty of veg & fibre which can sometimes go by the wayside on holidays. It’s easy to eat beige when having fun in the sun so a delish salad is good for balance.

5. Prioritise sleep. Lack of sleep can increase chances of regular colds & viruses so even if your usual routine is a bit different on holiday, try to get 7-8 hrs sleep each night.

6 Hydration. We all know we need more water in the heat, but also think about watermelon, cucumber & unsweetened coconut water which help replenish electrolyte balance too.

7. Movement. Whether it’s swimming or exploring on foot where you can. Exercise causes changes in antibodies and white blood cells to circulate more rapidly thus fighting illnesses earlier.

8. Hugs. We know that a 10 sec hug can boost feel-good hormones like oxytocin. Oxytocin can destress and restore the body’s balance, improving immune function and your odds of fighting off viruses and infections.

9. Vitamin d. Take off your shades 😎 & Expose your retina, forearms to daylight sans sunscreen for 15 mins for light skin and 30-40 mins for darker skin in am to boost vit d & circadian rhythm balance. Mushrooms, eggs, oily fish like sardines are great sources if on the menu.

10. Relax and have fun. You’re on holiday to escape, so relax the rules and have fun 🍦 Life is all about balance!

🇬🇷Greek inspired 5 min Summer Sunshine Salad 🌞

There’s nothing like the colours of Summer & this salad has them all. So refreshing with some nice crunchy textures & perfect when you just want a light Summer lunch. You can adapt it & use whatever leaves you have and add in any summer fruit - would be lovely with strawberries too. Or swap the feta for mozzarella or fried halloumi.
😎 Easy peasy side to serve alongside some grilled chicken or fish or add a tin of cooked chickpeas or lentils for extra plant protein. Perfect to brighten up a bbq meal.
Feeds 4 as a side. Enjoy!
🇬🇷
5 min med inspired salad
🌞
Half a red onion, sliced in fine rings
Handful of ripe tomatoes finely sliced
1 large cucumber cut on the diagonal
2 handfuls of green leaves like rocket or baby spinach roughly chopped
1 med avocado deseeded, peeled & sliced thinly
1 large peach or nectarine sliced finely
100g crumbled feta cheese mozzarella or halloumi (I like Green vie Greek style for a VG/DF version)
Handful chopped basil or mint if you have them
100g roughly chopped walnuts or pumpkin seeds for some delish crunch & added nutrition. Save some walnuts to sprinkle on top once the salad is dressed.
🌞
Dressing - season with salt & pepper as required & for the dressing mix 1.5 tbsp of the best extra virgin olive oil your budget allows, 1/2 tbsp vinegar - (red wine or apple cider vinegar), 1/2 tsp honey in a small jar & toss into the salad just before serving!
