This has been my morning tea snack option for the past 2 weeks. I must admit, I’m obsessed! My slice is packed full of nourishing ingredients and has the perfect amount of fibre, protein and healthy fats to keep you feeling full all morning long. I used my favourite high protein, low lactose yoghurt (YoPRO) in the slice too as the vanilla flavour is SO tasty! It makes quite a lot (32 slices in fact!) so perhaps half the amount the time first time if you don’t want that many slices. I really hope you enjoy it and if you do, please tag me on Instagram: @the_fitness_dietitian

You guys will love these HEALTHY CHOCOLATE PROTEIN PANCAKES! You can thank me later!!
Getting enough protein at breakfast is important. It keeps you full throughout the day and helps manage blood sugar levels/ cravings too. Many people eat a breakfast which is far too high in carbohydrates and not high enough in protein. These healthy chocolate protein pancakes are not only high in protein, they are also great to satisfy any cravings you may have on the weekend but in a healthy way!
Yes you heard me right! I’ve got a healthy muffin recipe for you! These Healthy Breakfast Blender Banana Muffins are the BEST!! You can eat them as a snack, as a breaky option but also as an after dinner treat if you have a sweet tooth! The amount of protein, fibre and healthy fats in these muffins make them the best healthy banana muffins around and will keep your blood sugar levels stable too!
You guys asked for them so here they are: my easy, healthy and tasty peanut butter protein balls with chia seeds! Literally you should have every ingredient in your pantry for these ones (especially if you’re a peanut butter fan like me!). You don’t even need your blender for these ones which is the best part! You can mix them just with a spoon and it’ll only take you a few minutes. Super healthy, easy and delicious! You can thank me later!
This is literally my favourite ever healthy muesli bar recipe. Only 5 ingredients and vegan friendly too! I love that you get to use up all the over ripe bananas in your freezer too! They’re packed full of fibre, protein and healthy fats to keep you full and nourished until you eat your next meal.
You guys are always asking me about gut healthy recipes so I wanted to share one of my favourite ones with you today! It combines delicious kombucha, high fibre chia seeds and juicy sultanas from Kellogg’s Sultana Bran. Firstly, let’s quickly touch on why fibre is SO important for good gut health.
I love when all the hot cross buns start appearing in the shops but I also equally dislike how unhealthy a lot of them can be. I’ve come up with a tummy friendly and healthy version of this Easter treat for you and your loved ones to enjoy. They are best served warm straight out of the oven!
Chia Co Challenge – Vegan White Chocolate and Butter Bean Muffins with Raspberry and Chia Jam
by Leanne Ward
I’m taking part in the Chia Co Challenge and even developed a delicious recipe for you guys as part of this challenge! The Chia Co Challenge encourages you to add just 1 tablespoon of chia seeds every day into your diet. The chia challenge contains a 7 day meal plan (written by a dietitian) plus 7 simple & delicious recipes including mine!! To get your hands on the FREE 7 day meal plan with recipes, click here.
This is a delicious healthier alternative to a shop bought cake. It uses some of my favourite ingredients and it’s one of my top recipes to whip up if I have friends over for coffee. If you don’t want to add the frosting you can just add a dollop of yoghurt to it instead. If there are any leftovers it will keep in the fridge for a few days in an air tight container or you can even freeze a few slices (I recommend not frosting it if you are going to freeze it).
