Kinda tastes like coffee but without the caffeine hit and made of dandelion root which can help support healthy liver function too, it's delicious - hunt it down if you haven't! Making these with a beautiful spelt flour and plenty of cinnamon (obv) but trying to avoid the extra sugary component on the top - once they're peaking I'll share the

2 weeks ago by brownpapernutrition Rainbow platter I made to kick off our big friends lunch last weekend... one of my favourite things to make! #saysthataboutallfood Mixed it up to suit all tastebuds - a combo of dips with some dukkah over the top #fancy veggie sticks #hellsyeah , tamari almonds, olives, seed snaps, pickles #theobsessioncontinues , a few cheeses, crackers, and some baby radish! In a world where we are so 'connected' yet so disconnected at the same time, I truly cherish having my nearest with me to share beautiful food. Eating with joy is powerful for your health, make sure you disconnect from other distractions

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.
