I LOVE Mexican food and tacos are probably the highest on the list! I’m hoping you guys are just as excited about this delicious taco salad bowl as I am because not only is it healthy, it’s packed full of lean protein, fibre and healthy fats too which will keep you full for hours afterwards! I’ve made a few healthy subs in this recipe such as sour cream for natural YoPRO, beef mince for chicken mince and guacamole for plain avocado. Ask me any questions below and if you make it, tag me on Instagram @the_fitness_dietitian

You would all know from following my social media accounts that I am a HUGE fan of nuts as a snack, on top of meals and added into my baking. You simply can’t go past the healthy fats, fibre, protein and other vitamin and minerals contained in nuts. I get so many questions around which nut type is best however so I thought I would do a post below for you guys detailing the benefits of all 10 nuts. Hint: They are all brilliant in different ways so variety is always best.

I have been to Bali a number of times before, but I was younger and I never took the time to travel the island, see the sights and take in the culture. This time I did the entire island, north, south, east and west.
For many years we thought that if you eat fat – you’d get fat. So we limited all types of fat, including the good ones. The latest research not only shows us that healthy fats are good for us – it also shows us that the heathy fats in nuts are associated with preventing weight gain. So to put it simply, yes nuts are high in fat but the good kind which can help manage our weight! Read on to find out how…
