1 day ago by brownpapernutrition At this time of year I usually post several health hacks to survive the silly season but this year I am going to keep it simple with just three... 1.Keep your body moving 2.Drink plenty of water 3.Prep and pack your lunch. Why lunch? Well i figure brekky you can pretty much pick up easily even if it’s muesli and yoghurt to have at your desk but lunch rolls around and people generally have their moment of fast food temptation and then go into party food and alcohol for the evening ahead. Prep a few ingredients and pack them up
21 hours ago by brownpapernutrition I waited a long time for someone like this beautiful man to walk into my life. He is kind, oh so patient, humble, just a bit divinely handsome, present, conscious and considered, loyal and equally strong as he allows himself to be vulnerable. He doesn’t let me sit in a funk for too long before stepping in with his love and reminding me of all the great things we share. He’s incredibly gentle but with a grip and cuddle so tight I know he will never let go. I am truly the luckiest to have you in my life @svendsenfitnesshealth
3 days ago by brownpapernutrition PEAR PUREE, BAKED PEARS + HONEY RICOTTA WITH PEARS ON TOAST! Some for bub, some for you and a deliciously, nourishing and simple way to get good nutrition in to kick off the day. Smooth pureed Packham Pears are some of the best fruits to wean your bub and start on solids. They’re obviously so delicious, but from a nutrition perspective they’re a source of Vitamin C and the soluble fibre, pectin, which helps support bowel movements in bubs too. Not sure how or when to start? A small portion (1/2 – 1 teaspoon) first thing in the morning is
2 days ago by brownpapernutrition Berry tart with a gluten free choc cinnamon (and cauliflower base)... I had you at berry, cinnamon, and cacao and then when I jumped in with cauliflower you no doubt questioned me am I right?????? Well, let me reassure you that whilst the wonder-veg-that-can-be-made-into-anything aka cauliflower is in this tart, you actually wouldn’t pick that it is and the tart is still deliciously sweet, wholesome and healthy all in one. I’ve included @pompompaddock Cauliflower Flour mix (made it with a pizza slice not long ago too!) with cacao, cinnamon, butter, and a couple of other simple ingredients for the tart
4 days ago by brownpapernutrition Delicious Gluten Free Ginger Slice with Pecans and Hazelnuts went down an absolute treat with friends over the weekend. It’s definitely one of the easiest baked goodies for the Chrissy season, yet still so festive in flavour with ginger spice, pecans and hazelnuts. I made it gluten free using the Woolworths Free From Gluten Self Raising Flour only available at @woolworths_au and it was still lovely and fluffy. If ginger isn’t your flavour, you could swap out for some cinnamon and it would be just as scrumptious. I’ve popped this recipe on the blog wonderful friends (link in bio) -

Plant based, raw, nut free lamingtons

by Jacqueline Alwill

To be honest…when I started making these I had full intention of making a healthy variation on a Bounty Bar, but then I completely forgot to add in a step and the chocolate spread into the coconut and sure enough I had something else!

I had no idea what that something else was going to be but as it turned out these taste SO MUCH like LAMINGTONS, in their raw, whole seeds (cause no nuts in this one!) and delicious date and cacao-y form.

PS. I still plan to make a bounty bar but for now…ENJOY!!!!!

PLANT BASED, RAW, NUT FREE LAMINGTONS

Makes 25 pieces

Gluten free : Dairy Free : Vegan : Nut free

Base:

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1/4 cup raw cacao powder

No sponge-sponge:

2 cups desiccated coconut

1/4 cup coconut oil

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

pinch sea salt

Chocolate:

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

1/3 cup raw cacao powder

3 tablespoons maple

Extra desiccated coconut for sprinkling on top

Place ingredients for base in a food processor and blitz to a crumb, then press into a lined 25x25cm cake tin or dish.

Blend ingredients for sponge in the food processor until it comes together, then press on top of base.

Whisk together ingredients for chocolate in a bowl and pour over the top of the coconut (this was the step where I was meant to do something else to make it a bounty but didn’t!), sprinkle with extra coconut and place in freezer to set for 3-4 hours.
