QUINOA AND TAHINI STUFFED COURGETTES
This is a great vegetarian recipe that’s packed with protein, iron and healthy fats… and a great way to use up any leftovers you have in the fridge. You can mix any leftover veg into the mixture, or any leftover green herbs. Super quick and super tasty!

Are you craving chocolate? On World Chocolate day, who isn’t!On a day like today, when your social media feed is packed full of delicious looking chocolate recipes, it’s easy to ditch your usual Healthy Eating habits for a family-sized bar of Galaxy chocolate, 4 helping of chocolate pudding or an entire traybake of chocolate sponge a gooey ganache! I’m not helping am I…
I’m a big believer in balance, and I LOVE chocolate. It’s one reason why I include recipes for healthy chocolate desserts in my 30 Day Sugar Detox ecourse. I wouldn’t want to live without it, and I don’t think you should either!
So, to celebrate World Chocolate Day, here are my 3 fixes for when I’m craving chocolate.

There’s nothing that goes better with barbecued food than a fresh, green salad. My husband Mariano is brilliant at whipping together a yummy salad. I think it’s because he’s Spanish… they make the best salads! But admittedly, it’s also because he’s a great chef. My husband can really cook!
Salads have a bit of a bad reputation… Often they’re portrayed as being boring and tasteless; a mixture of iceberg lettuce, tomato and cucumber, smothered in a sugar filled, store-bought salad dressing.
But it doesn’t have to be like this, there’s such a wonderful variety of leaves, vegetables and other options to pop in your salad that they can not only be exciting, but a really filling, nutritious meal for all the family.

It wouldn’t be a barbecue without burgers right? But what if you’re a vegetarian or vegan, or just fancy something a little different? Try my deliciously spicy 2-minute tofu burgers! It’s a simple 1-bowl recipe and can be prepped in just a few minutes!
Tofu is a great source of protein, not just for vegetarians and vegans. It’s packed with calcium, rich in protein and packed with phytoestrogens, which are great for hormonal balance. If you’re going to use tofu, find one that is as natural as possible.
There are loads of artisan tofu shops popping up all around the country – here in Norwich I love popping into Tofurei. See if there’s a tofu shop near you that makes their own tofu. You can now also sign up to my brand new online course ‘How to be a Healthy Vegetarian or Vegan’ HERE.

This is one of my favourite recipes… which I designed with my good friend Alex Hobbs, from Loke Herbs, who is a brilliant Medical Herbalist. It makes a great lunch alternative to sandwiches, or can be served up as an accompaniment at a yummy family barbecue!
