Healthy Banana Muffins

These muffins are great as a snack or breakfast on the run.

They are gluten free, wheat free, dairy free.
The nut meal gives them a good amount of protein to help balance your blood sugar and keep you satisfied between meals and the flaxseeds help put a little extra omega 3 in your diet.

•   2 cups nut meal (I used half almond and half hazelnut)
•   2 ripe bananas
•   2 tbsp. honey
•   1 tsp. ground cinnamon
•   2 tbsp. flaxseed
•   3 eggs
•   2 teaspoons baking powder
•   2 tablespoon macadamia oil

Method: Combine all ingredients (I blended everything but the nuts in my stick mixer then combined with the nut meal). Makes quite a wet batter. Divide into muffin tins and bake at 170 for 25-30minutes.

 Enjoy!

A Naturopaths breakfast

I love my shakes for Breakfast and I've recently been asked what I put in them. Well, this changes every day but I thought I'd share a few of my standard favourites.

My Detox Smoothie above was delicious (don't be put off by the colour, you can't really taste the spirulina). It was made from:

• 250ml Coconut milk
• 1/2 frozen banana (peel before freezing)
• 1 teaspoon enterocare powder (a probiotic and slippery elm supplement)
• 1.5 scoops Thermophase detox powder (a protein powder which also helps with liver detoxification)
• 1 teaspoon spirulina powder
• Cinnamon on top

It was so yummy and kept me full until lunch time.

Sometimes if I'm in a rush I'll just have protein powder (at the moment I'm using rice protein) with almond, hazelnut or coconut milk or sometimes just with water.

This morning I skipped the protein powder and just had a Green Banana Smoothie:

• 250ml Almond milk
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 teaspoon enterocare
• 1 teaspoon spirulina
• 1/2 tablespoon flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon avocado (makes it really creamy)
• Cinnamon

Sometimes I'll add berries too but I pretty much always have frozen banana because it tastes yum and makes it nice and cold.

Feel free to share with me some of your favourite smoothie ingredients.
