Maca Powder, Apple & Cacao Nib Muffins
These delicious Apple Muffins use some lesser known ingredients including Maca Powder and Cacao Nib for a nutritious and flavoursome boost. Cacao Nibs are made from dried and fermented bits of the cocoa bean. Used here as a crunchy textural replacement for chocolate chips, rich in iron and magnesium. Maca Powder is a traditional peruvian powder adding a nutty, caramelized flavour. There are a long list of reported health benefits, especially linked to hormonal health and energy production. Unfortunately the regular dose required is a fair bit higher than you would get from a single muffin. If you’re interested in reading more about Maca Powder, some of the claimed health…

Mum’s Quick Chicken Curry Pasta
Chicken Curry Pasta was one of my favourite comfort meals as a child. Creamy, lightly spiced sauce over chicken pieces with peas, carrot, corn and pasta. Easy to eat by the spoonful and made for excellent leftovers.

I’ll definitely be adding mum’s chicken curry pasta back into regular rotation because it’s light yet filling and packed with protein and vegetables. It’s always best and most delicious when someone else makes it for you, but this speedy low fat version is definitely worth making for…

Bircher-Style Oats
This boosted breakfast oat dish is the delicious sister of classic overnight oats. Not only can you prepare this meal in batches, it also freezes surprisingly well into individual portions. Instead of prepping each bowl of oats the night before – you can prep a batch, portion and freeze. The night before you need it, all you have to do is transfer a container into the fridge to defrost. I promise it all comes together just the same as long as you freeze immediately after mixing. This method is also helpful in controlling portion sizes. The issue with regular Bircher Muesli is that it’s really only best overnight. Texture degrades…
