These mini pea and sweetcorn fritters make a delicious healthy snack or breakfast which we sometimes serve with fried or poached eggs. We only ever use 1/2 teaspoon of the chilli flakes as this gives the fritters a bit of a kick, but doesn’t make them too spicy. When making these you might find that the fritters split or crack when you try to flip them over (it shouldn’t happen if you only use 1 teaspoon of the mixture). If this happens we’d recommend trying them with less mixture and making smaller fritters, this way it’s easier to flip them without breaking.
Asparagus Fries For a healthy and delicious alternative to fries, you’ve got to give this easy asparagus recipe a try. They make the perfect side dish to any meal, but are also great as a light snack. If you want a slightly cheesy flavour you can also add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast to the fries along with the herbs and garlic.
This delicious vegan dish is perfect for when you don’t have much time. It can be ready in under 30 minutes and is a great way of using up veggies. For this dish we’ve used a mix of carrots, onion, parsnips and brussel sprouts with chickpeas and quinoa, but other veggies you could try are: cauliflower, olives, tomatoes, sweet potato, spinach or kale.
If you’re looking for a healthy snack that’s sweet, delicious and super easy to make, this recipe is perfect for you. It only takes 5 minutes to make and is a great way of using up overripe bananas. You could enjoy this as a sweet, delicious breakfast with Greek yoghurt or serve with banana ice cream and fresh fruit for a super healthy dessert. It’s crispy and caramelised on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside. For this recipe it’s best to use overripe bananas as they taste sweeter.
A light, refreshing and flavoursome salad that’s a well balanced meal nutritionally. The combination of these flavours leaves your taste buds satisfied and your body nourished. You can also prepare it the night before, if you’re struggling for time during the day.
If you’re looking for a low fat and healthy snack that’s easy to make and tastes delicious, then this recipe is perfect for you. If you have a mandolin, we’d recommend using that to slice the courgette as you want them as thin as possible to make them nice and crispy, if not you can use a knife too. You’ll know when the crisps are ready as they’ll start to curl up and harden.
A few weeks ago we developed this delicious lemon curd recipe and have been so in love with it ever since. It’s so versatile you can eat it on toast, with salad, on scones or even in a delicious and healthy dessert tart, just like this one. Not only is this recipe super delicious, it’s also really healthy, gluten free and sugar free. When you make the lemon curd don’t worry if it’s quite lumpy, you just need to put it through a sieve to remove the lumps and you’ll have a fruity, delicious and smooth filling for your tarts.
This gluten-free plum and raspberry tart recipe is our new favourite dessert recipe. It’s made using an almond shortcrust pastry case that’s not only super healthy and nutritious, but the honey adds a sweet flavour to it too. It tastes far too delicious to be good for you, but it really is. When making the crust don’t be tempted to leave it too thick, about 0.5cm is as thick as we would go with it. Don’t worry about it breaking whilst baking, this should only happen if you forget to grease the baking tins and it might break as you remove the tarts. As long as the tins/cases are greased before you add the almond mixture there should be no breakages or leaks.
These pretty little desserts are so yummy and far more nutritious than traditional trifles. With 5 layers of delicious flavours and textures, they make such a fantastic after dinner treat. The best part about these tasty treats is there’s no cooking required whatsoever, so it’s a fail safe recipe for when you have guests around. They’re also gluten free, dairy free and vegan too!
If you haven’t tried making banana ice cream (or nana nice-cream as it’s sometimes called) then you need to give it a go. It’s super delicious and really easy to make. All you need to do is freeze chopped up bananas, then blend them – We absolutely love it. Be sure to use really ripe bananas. They should be quite soft and really sweet, it’s such a great way of using up over ripe bananas too so they don’t go to waste. We’ve added a couple of ingredients to this version and we’re not disappointed with how it’s turned out, as it tastes great.
These easy to make, no-bake truffle treats are so delicious and full of nutrition. They make the perfect after dinner sweet treat, and the best part about this recipe is they keep in the freezer so you can just take them out as and when you need them. We love the combination of bananas and almonds, we discovered it recently while making my new ice-cream recipe, so this sweet snack has soon become a new favourite of ours. The ingredients in this recipe are all wholesome and all have anti-aging benefits, so if you’re looking to turn back the clock this is a fail safe as it’s full of magnesium (nuts, seeds and banana) probiotics (cacao) and polyphenols (cacao). If you find it difficult to blend the dates in your food processor a good tip is to soak them in hot water for a few minutes first which should soften them.
This delicious salmon salad recipe is super simple, really refreshing and totally delicious. It makes a fantastic easy lunch or side dish and you can even prepare it the night before and take as a grab and go lunch. For this recipe you can use fresh lemon juice instead of adding a dressing.
