6 days ago by brownpapernutrition SECOND POUR TEA CHRISTMAS CAKE!!!!! My friends I have managed with huge willpower to stave off sharing this until December 1st so as to not completely bore you with my obsession with Christmas cake, but now the day is here and I am suuuuuuuuuuper bloody excited!!!! First the title - second pour tea - comes from my need to recycle the tea leaves in my tea pot in the morning for something else. You don't have to do this, just make enough tea for the recipe. Next the beauty of this juicy number is that you can legit have a
3 days ago by brownpapernutrition One of my favourite breakfasts - SWEET PEAR AND COCONUT QUINOA, CARAMEL NUT BUTTER AND FRESH PEARS on top for the yummy crunch factor. Kicking the day off with a fibre fuelled, nutrient dense brekky like this one sets you up for the day with good energy, helps to stabilise your appetite throughout thanks to the presence of both soluble and insoluble fibre, plant protein and healthy fats, and is easily digested. The brekky is a cracking way to help feed all the wonderful good bacteria in the gut and keep things moving down there too! If you’d like the

Makes me feel more normal ( @wholefoodhealing thats you hehe). In this bowl I popped cumin and cinnamon roasted veggies with hummus (spread around the bowl - makes it even and also look kind pretty too!), some zucchini ribbons, tomatoes, avocado, kraut, herbs and chilli flakes. The veggies and haloumi were warm so it was a yummy warm salad variation which I love as a change from cold and raw. Didn't need extra dressing because the olive oil,

Thought I would miss soft cheese, mussels and prawns the most during pregnancy, turns out I miss sprouts and juicy rockmelon more! Go figure?!?!?!?! Maybe because over the past couple of years we've transitioned our diet so much more toward plants that the shellfish and cheese factor just isn't much a thing anymore, but humble ingredients that I probably didn't recognise were as present as they were are the ones I am hanging to be able to throw into meals again! This is a delicious scrambled cajun tofu bowl with sweet potato,
2 days ago by brownpapernutrition This year I’ve had this absolutely wonderful human @wholefoodhealing in my life through our work together and I couldn’t feel more grateful or more aligned with someone in this space. She’s incredibly intelligent, highly motivated, compassionate and kind, with a similar zero bs approach to nutrition, health, parenting and life. We met studying nutrition almost 9/10 years ago (how on earth was it that long?!?!) and I remember thinking what a bright light she was st the time too. This year we created a series of successful, educational workshops with more to come in 2020 and we are in the

Lunchbox friendly savoury Sweet Potato Egg Muffins

by Jacqueline Alwill

Diving back into school this week and I have some ripper recipes for lunchboxes for you kicking off with this one – SAVOURY SWEET POTATO EGG MUFFINS. Kids love these (actually big kids do too…) because they’re easy to pick up and eat, pack like a gem in a lunchbox, taste delicious and for some reason (*wink wink) their tummies aren’t hungry again within the hour…Must be all the juicy hidden veggies including MACRO SWEET POTATO POWDER – only available at Woolworths!

The powder is such an awesome and convenient way to sneak more nutrition into kids meals and snacks – works really well in both sweet or savoury. I’ve also popped some MACRO NUTRITIONAL YEAST into this recipe which are a great option for those who are dairy free. Nutritional yeast has B vitamins for energy (as part of a healthy diet) and contains vitamin B12 too! Seriously delicious, wholesome and nourishing on all levels!

SAVOURY SWEET POTATO EGG MUFFINS

Makes 6-8

Gluten free : Dairy Free : Refined Sugar Free : Paleo

2 tablespoons Macro Sweet Potato Powder

2 tablespoons Macro Nutritional Yeast

12 free range eggs

1 (300g) red capsicum, seeded and diced

1 cup (20g) baby spinach

1/4 cup (5g) basil leaves, shredded

Optional: pitted and sliced kalamata olives

Preheat oven to 180C and grease an 8 cup muffin tin with olive oil.

Place Macro Sweet Potato Powder, Macro Nutritional Yeast and eggs in a large bowl and whisk well to dissolve sweet potato and nutritional yeast into the egg.

Divide diced capsicum, baby spinach and basil between 6-8 muffin holes, then spoon equal portions of the egg mixture over the top.

Add sliced kalamata olives if desired.

Bake in oven for 20 minutes.

Cool in tin and enjoy.
