Avocado Choc Mousse
Perfect snack for choc cravings. No added sugars and full of nutrients like folate, potassium, magnesium, iron and fibre! Toddler friendly! 👍
You can add a drizzle of honey (or agave suryp for vegans) if you need to. I think its perfect without.
2 medium bananas
1 avocado
3 tablespoons cacao
2 tablespoons chia seeds
Blend all in a food processor. You cannot overblend. Scrape down sides and blend again until everything is mixed in and smooth. Put in serving dish and eat straight away or put into the fridge for 30mins for a cold mousse consistency.

MACA COCO ORANGE BLISS BALLS
Guaranteed to satisfy your chocolate cravings 🙌👌
The orange rind in there just makes these taste real fresh 😋😋😋 Make sure you invite some friends over because it is hard to just stop at just one 😉
Although these have more NUTRIENTS than regular chocolate - they are still HIGH in calories due to the (healthy) high fat content from the nuts and seeds. So you still need to be treat wise 👍
Here is what you need:
1 cup oats
1/2 cup of dates (~12 small dates)
1/4 cup pepitas
1/2 cup macadamia nuts (any nuts will do)
1 tbs of orange rind (from 1 large orange - use a heaped tablespoon for more intense orange flavour)
3 tbs of orange juice (from that orange you just grated the rind off)
3 tbs of smooth peanutbutter
3 tbs of cacao (i like the intense flavour of cacao - use 2 tbs if less is wanted)
***tbs = tablespoon 👍
Blend it all in a food processor then roll. Try not to eat the whole batch while making them 😂
The more orange rind - the more intense orange flavor. If crumbles add a tiny bit more orange juice. Some food processors need to blitz the nuts/oats separte from the dates or they wont chop it properly.
I shall call them orangemazeballs 😀😀
Enjoy!
|| VEGAN DAHL ||
This Dahl with roasted chickpeas on top is all VEGAN but without the compromise for flavour OR protein 👊
Perfect quick dinner (or lunch or even BREAKFAST - poached egg on top of this would be an amazing breakky actually! 🙆)
This is what you need:
1 litre of stock of your choice (veggie or chicken)
1/4 of a pumpkin, chopped (about 400g)
2 carrots, chopped
1 medium sweet potato, chopped
1 small bag (365gram bag) of dried red lentils
2 teaspoons of SoukSpice** 👌 (alt: 1 teaspoon of ground cummin and 1 tsp of keens curry)
** SoukSpice is a very tasty mix of 18 different spices and can be ordered here: www.soukspice.com.au for only $10 👍
Chop all veggies, add lentils, spices and simmer in the stock until soft. Might need to mash up slightly. Serve with roasted chickpeas on top and sourdough toast with garlic, if liked. If you would like an additional protein hit - add a couple of spoons of cottage cheese on top as well!
The Toddler LOVES this dahl too - it was a BIG HIT! 👍🙆
To make roasted chickpeas: drain and rinse a can of chickpeaa, coat in olive oil amd favourite spice blend - roast in oven for 20-30min at 175 degrees celcius.
Yes. I used SoukSpice again 😂
You can use keens curry powder or any spice blend of your choice.
This meal is packed with FIBRE and added protein from both the lentils and chickpeas. Who said you NEED meat to hit your protein target?

|| Waffle frenzy # ||
Waffles are so much fun to eat and a great alternative to the usual toast for breakfast! They are easy to pack in your lunchbox or have as a snack 👌
The are sugar free and flour less.
This is what you need:
2 eggs
1/3 cup natural greek yoghurt (my favourite is CHOBANI)
1/3 cup of milk of your choice
1/2 cup of oats
1 tbs of green banana flour (Found at the Health food store )
1 small banana
--------------------------
Optional: 3 medium kale leafs* for GREEN waffles 👌
And you dont have to use the green banana flour - it just gives you some extra resistant starch which is for gut health.
---------------------------
*these kale leafs are the home grown smaller version of the 'frilly store bought kale' that can be quite large. Use about as much as the size of your own hand as a guide!
This will make you 2 big fat waffles!
Serve with whatever you like! Almond butter, sliced banana and a drizzle of honey is my favourite. Strawberries is the toddlers favourite! 😀

|| Salmon potato patties ||
This recipe is dirt cheap and super TASTY! I didn't use any exact measurements becase it doesn't really matter. You can use only sweet potato if you like, I like to mix them.
White potato has a little less sugars than sweet potato. They are also rich in resistant starch - so no need to ditch them over sweet potato. In the top left corner is a BIG BUNCH of mixed herbs for our veggie patch - I used the whole lot pictured. A mix between coriander, flat leaf parsley and dill. There might be a few basil leafs there too! If you don't have a herb garden at home - one kind of herbs is fine as they can be quite pricey to buy at the shops. Dill only is a family favourite and great with salmon - but whichever you prefer, really!
This is what you need:
✔3-4 potatoes*, chopped and boild soft - *use 2 medium sweet potatoes OR 1 medium sweet potato and 3 normal white potatoes. "Medium" can be relative - use common sense!
✔Big handful of herbs - desired mix - chop
✔Kale - 5 leafs* - chop *again - depending on size - see photo
✔1 cup frozen peas - blanched
✔1/2 cup frozen corn - blanched
✔1 big tin of salmon - 420g tin
✔1 egg
Mix all together and fry in a pan until brown. Serve with salad on side. Pictured is oven roasted kalettes and Chobani tsatziki dip with some marinated fetta - it was FLAVOR BOMB 😋👌
