So I’ve just realised I have more bliss ball recipes than salads on my blog – oops. Sorry guys. I have a little obsession it seems! I promise I will start getting my act together and share some of my fave green dishes soon. Anyway, here’s another go-to morning tea/afternoon tea/anytime of the day…
Treats
Ginger snap bliss balls
Homemade nourishing treats and a cuppa. It’s hard to beat. It’s also a little harder to come by these days I must say. If I’m not rocking and ‘boobing’ my little one to sleep, I’m running around doing errands, trying to keep the dirty clothes pile from reaching the ceiling (whilst equally trying to tackle the clean…
Easy Peasy Matcha Balls
So, word on the wellness street is that Matcha is ‘so hot right now’…Yep, Matcha. Sorry…What’s Matcha? Well, I’ve since learned it’s actually young green tea leaves in a really concentrated form, ground down into a delicate green powder. Why is this good? Because (apart from being my favourite colour!) it means our bodies get the…
Homemade Almond Butter
Never buying store bought nut butter again! Those were my first thoughts after tasting this fresh, smooth-but-gooey, slightly crunchy, delectable, homemade almond butter. This is food heaven for me. Raw. Delicious. Nourishing. What’s even more exciting is how quick and easy it is to make! All you need is a powerful food processor (I use a Magimix 3200xl, 640…
Raw Cacao Amaze-Balls
What can I say, these balls are just little powerhouses filled with goodness. Hence why I’ve called them Amaze-balls! Also known as bliss or protein balls… So easy to make (seriously, like, less than 10mins) and great at keeping that sweet tooth at bay without all the added sugar. I usually make up a batch through…
![As mothers we all want the very BEST for our children. Good grades at school, a strong sense of self, excellent social and emotional wellbeing and let’s face it, as little visits to the doctor as possible right?! But what if we're sabotaging their health and don’t even realise it?
When I started to educate myself around holistic health and realised that not everything we've been told is true, I remember one stat that blew my mind and it was in relation to children’s health.
The next generation is predicted to die younger than us 🤯 What!? Well, that’s if we continue on the slippery slope we’re on.
Stats reveal 1 in 4 children are overweight and the WHO have recorded a 10 fold increase in that number in the last 40 years.
As Dr Mark Hyman, MD aptly states “By the time overweight children are in their twenties, they can expect to be diagnosed with diseases that normally affect people in their sixties and seventies”. So even if they do live long, they're quality of life is poor.
We are also seeing mood disorders, rates of autism, ADHD, mental health issues and diabetes on the rise.
As a mum I feel more responsibility now more than ever to take a stand for the kind of future I want for my babies. Change always starts from the ground up. That’s us. You and me.
Even if you’re not a parent, this should be on our agenda as adults. Our kids are our future.
