Something delicious for this weekend…. and every

Something delicious for this weekend…. and everyday!
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
No, this page isn’t turning into a food blog (I will always share food supporting options and ideas), but in all honesty, travelling back to the UK coupled with travel quarantine has left me feeling totally depleted energy-wise and creatively hence less posting on here. Now freedom is back on, I shall be creating more, hopefully! And April is my favourite month! 🌸
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
I’ve been cooking and eating a bit more as... boredom, lol, and this yummy concoction was born. 😋
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
These balls are naturally made only with wholesome ingredients:
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
❋ Supportive of blood sugar balance - critical for health and balanced hormones (a big issue for most women I work with)
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
❋ A good balance of fats, sugar and some fibre
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
❋ The tahini is an excellent source of plant calcium
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
All measures are approximates - adjust dry to liquid ingredients if the consistency is not desirable. I typically use my kitchen scales to measure.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
This makes about 20 small balls:
➟ 50g desiccated coconut*
➟ 80g chopped walnuts
➟ 125g tahini
➟ 150g coconut nectar or maple syrup**
➟ 30g cacao powder
➟ 1-2 drops vanilla extract
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
*ground almonds would work too
**honey should work too, but the taste will be different
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
❋ Put the walnuts in the food processor and process until you have small pieces, or chop them up.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
❋ Mix all ingredients well - by hand or in the processor.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
❋ Roll the balls. You can cover them in coconut, sesame seeds or cacao.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
❋ Store them in the fridge or the freezer. They will go soft if kept at room temperature.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Enjoy! 🌸💗🌸

Hands up! 🙋‍♀️ Anyone here intimidated by

Hands up! 🙋‍♀️ Anyone here intimidated by cooking?
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Cooking & I were not friends. At all. So much so that I remember mum sending me home cooked meals at Uni from time to time. Cos buying wholesome food was not on my list of priorities, you know.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
The process from raw ingredients to the final cooked meal, especially if it was a one pot meal - no exaggeration - was out of this world magic to me.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
The biggest hurdles I hear from clients to consistently eating healthily: 1◻ Cooking is for chefs 2◻ I don’t have time
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
You don’t need skills or much time at all. Just a desire to experiment a little (the fear of cooking goes away pretty quickly), simple recipes you can batch cook with + a simple planning/prep system.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
But before all this, there is the million $£$ question. But how do I know which ingredients are healthy? It's sooo confusing with so much conflicting info!
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
High-five! 🙋‍♀️ IT IS. Hence why I created ⭐THE KITCHEN MAKEOVER GUIDE ⭐- to basically stop recreating the wheel every time I get this question + spend quality time with clients discussing hormones, gut health or how we can shine powerfully as women in the world. The juicy stuff. 😉
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Grab you guide (link in bio) and you’ll also receive a few other gems over the coming weeks. The Trilogy, as I call them.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
➕ Where to buy quality ingredients - typical places + actual links for those in the UK.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
➕ A simple system for meal prep.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⭐ One of my top online recipe planning websites, that caters for all dietary preferences.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
The Trilogy is a lifesaver.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
As for this meal? Roasted pumpkin, sauteed onions and garlic with herbs of choice, blended until smooth (Yep, I live in my blender!), topped with roasted pumpkin seeds.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Winter ❄ seems to have made a comeback so give me all the root veggies for comfort! Add travel quarantine to the mix and let’s just say there has been more eating than normal! 😂
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
ALL this FREE goodness will save you hours upon hours of research - I've done the legwork for you. Link in bio. 💗

D A R K N E S S B E F O R E L I G H T
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
A few people (clients and followers) have expressed recently how they are not sure if they are making progress currently with the changes they are implementing. They feel a bit.. Meh.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
I say GOOD! Not because I want them to feel this way or because I think it’s fun to be in this place - I don’t & it’s not (been there a million and one times myself). BUT… this is very normal.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
When you’re in the midst of making changes and replacing old habits with new ones, you may well feel like you’re in a storm - literally and figuratively.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
There is chaos, uncertainty, things may look and feel actually worse than before you started. You’re questioning what you’re doing and why things are such a mess! The tunnel is long and there is no light in sight.

Well, as with everything, health changes do not happen in a linear fashion, but more like 2 steps forward, 1 step back. At times, it’s 2 steps forward, 2 steps back!

My (non)magic tip? Trust the process. Keep connected to your vision. This will ensure you’re moving forward, even when you feel like you’re not moving forward.

Trust your body, it’s the most intelligent machine there ever will be! It knows what it is doing, it just needs the right support and environment for the changes to take place.

Just think about it. Most body cells regenerate. You can create new bones in 10 years, new skin in about 4 weeks, new stomach cells in 5-7 days (acidity!), your liver goes through a 6 week cycle etc. These figures are simplified, but you get the idea. The human body is truly remarkable!

We are walking, talking miracles. Trust the process. Oh, and contrary to popular belief, not everything goes south with age! Our ability to grasp complex emotions is highest when we are 50. Our vocabulary is at its optimal when we are 70!

No excuses, ladies (and gents!)! If 2020 thought us anything is that initiating positive for our wellbeing changes is *always* a very, very good idea! 😉 What are you currently improving? I am resuming muscle building movement. 🤸‍♀️😅💪

“Oh, dear. This was a very interesting exercise.

“Oh, dear. This was a very interesting exercise. Don’t know why I resisted it for so long!” 🤦‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
A client after literally finding every (valid) reason under the sun for 2+ months to not complete her Food & Mood Journal.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
I’ve been using a form of this journal for years with clients. It has by far been one of the most valuable tools for me, for them, and for our working relationship. So much so, that since last year, filling a journal at various stages of our time together is non-negotiable.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
The stuff that comes to the light is quite amazing! 😍🧐
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
❌ The content of the journal (of food, activity, mood etc.) that we keep in your head and the one that we create on paper/digitally are typically worlds apart!
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
What we *think* happens, and what *actually* happens, are not the same thing. Our minds play such tricks on us all.the.time, hence why believing every thought that passes our head is a very silly thing to do! 🤣
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⚠️ If you want to change something, start writing down what you’re currently doing in this area. Every.single.thing.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Do this for about 2 full weeks to get initial insights into your current reality.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Until you’re fully aware of your current reality, you cannot change it. How could you? 🤷‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Food, movement, stress, sleep, relaxation, joy, connection etc. are so very interlinked to our mood and feelings.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Hence why (for most of us) - and I say this with a ton of compassion, love and understanding - we should not be thinking of anxiety or low mood as *conditions* we are born with or we just acquire. They have root causes, and often, things can be improved upon, a lot.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
So, get writing! 📝 Start with your food and then move onto your activities / what you do most often.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Have you tried something like this? Let me know what you have found / are likely to find the most challenging so we can talk about it here. 🌸😘
