22 hours ago by brownpapernutrition "Feel like I'm going back to square one" I keep hearing myself say in response to people asking how I feel about our bubba. But actually no, i’m not, I have many more lessons than when i started motherhood with Jet almost 10 years ago. So I thought I would share 5 of them with you... 1. TAKE THE TIME YOU NEED. I rushed a lot with Jet. Mostly with healing, I pay the price for it now. I went back to exercise WAY TOO SOON convinced a) my body would bounce back with being young b) I had to
2 days ago by brownpapernutrition PEANUT BUTTER STRAWBERRY SLICE RECIPE... I'd planned for it to be something else, but I think I went into a PB food coma and it became slice instead Popped a banana in there as part of the sweetener because it looked brown and I was low on coconut sugar but you can swap it and up the coco sugar or maple if you like. I like the banana effect - more fibre and potassium too that way. @picspeanutbutter sent me a mega jar the other day #waytomyheart and I'm still deciding whether I share it or hide it at the
3 days ago by brownpapernutrition “Delicious in the scrimmis” (see video of beautiful Mia @bondibubs a couple of posts ago) actually apparently means “delicious and nutritious” ☺️ bless My delicious in the scrimmis bowl here is coconut yoghurt, peanut butter, banana, fresh pecans from my friend @annabellehickson farm , mango, granola, blueberries and hemp seeds.

I am packing a heap of groceries today to send to some families who have been
4 days ago by brownpapernutrition I haven’t been so active on social media this week, to be honest I’ve felt really paralysed by what is happening with the fires in our country. I’ve watched, listened, grieved with those affected, it’s so devastating I have felt completely unsure how to communicate about it. I’ve sat in fear. This isn’t just a reflection of what we have done in the past, this dire situation is a look into what our future is if we don’t do, think, be, act more. I’ve felt frightened for those out there in the middle of it, fighting it, beautiful Australian wildlife

Up your fibre with ease…. so you can have ease on the loo too….

by Jacqueline Alwill

Happily eating this brekky every day at the moment… super satisfying, wholesome, flavoursome and a great start in high quality nutrition to kick off the day.

🍓 Here’s what I do… soak quinoa flakes with coconut, prunes, sunflower seeds, macadamias, almonds, cinnamon overnight just with boiling water, then pop it together with whatever seasonal fruits are around but this week we had amazeballs strawberries and I used up the rest of the frozen organic raspberries in the freezer. Served up either with coconut or greek yoghurt, take your pick, obviously the coconut is a bit richer so I don’t find I need too much, fab way to keep brekky plant based too if you’re aiming for more of that. 🌱

Aaaaand depending on the day (if I’ve trained in the morning, have a big day ahead or just actually a bit hungrier than normal) I pop some cashew butter on the side. Probs my fave nut butter of all time – BIG CALL.

🍈 On the PRUNES factor in the soaked muesli – firstly, HELLO YUM.

Secondly, no, I’m not constipated but thanks for your concern.

I love them yes for fibre but also just so delicious and add sweet without having to add honey or maple to the blend.

They are suuuuuuuper rich in fibre though, SO if you are feeling like you’re shooting hard kangaroo pellets and straining as you pass, consider how much FIBRE is in your meals and start to add in small extra portions where you can.

Also top up your water and herbal tea intake which can help soften things a little and let the ole bowels do their thang without it being a strained/uncomfortable experience for you. Passing should be a relaxed time and actually TBH really satisfying. 😁

HOW GREAT IS BOWEL CHAT ON THE BLOG HEY????

Nutritionists absolutely LOVE a good poo chat, it’s like our first stage of insight into what’s going on inside you… amazing. 🧐🤓
