Another google review. Thank-you for taking the time to feedback.

A new review. Always grateful to clients for taking time to leave a review. And so happy to read how satisfied this person was,.

With my daughter doing SATs exams next week, I’ve been focusing on offering her foods to support her energy, focus and concentration 📚💭

Here are a few of the things I’ll be focusing on:

🥣 Regular meals
Eating regularly can help support steady energy levels and may help avoid dips in concentration. Breakfast is especially important after an overnight fast and has consistently been linked with improved attention and concentration in children.

Mia’s school provide breakfast during SATs week, but I will still offer a small nutritious option before she leaves home.

🧀 Including protein at meals and snacks
Foods such as eggs, yoghurt, milk, cheese, beans, chicken, fish and nut butters can help children feel fuller for longer and may help provide a steadier release of energy throughout the day.

💧 Encouraging hydration
Even mild dehydration can affect concentration, alertness and mood in children, so encouraging regular drinks throughout the day is super important.

🐟 Offering omega-3-rich foods
Omega-3 fats found in foods such as oily fish, walnuts and chia seeds are important for brain development and nervous system function.

🫐 Adding berries to breakfasts and snacks
Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries contain antioxidants and flavonoids which may help support memory and cognitive performance.

🍫 Including cocoa
Cocoa contains flavonoids which may help support blood flow to the brain and cognitive performance.

For tomorrow, I’ve prepped overnight oats topped with raspberry chia jam, walnuts and dark chocolate shavings for breakfast, alongside homemade black bean brownies for a protein-rich snack 🍓🥣

15 MINUTE AIRFRYER GRANOLA

Making your own granola is usually cheaper than shop bought 💰 and very easy to customise to your taste👌. Also, using the airfryer makes it so quick. 🙌 This recipe is adapted from @thehappypear

🛒 YOU’LL NEED

✔ 250g organic oats
✔ 50g mixed nuts, I use pecans, almonds and cashews 🌰
✔ 50g mixed seeds, I use an omega 3 seed mix
✔ 25g desiccated coconut 🥥
✔ 50ml maple syrup 🍁
✔ 50g coconut oil
✔ 50g dried fruit, I use cranberries and raisins 🍇

RECIPE

1️⃣ Preheat airfryer to 200°C and line the basket
2️⃣ Mix oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, maple syrup and coconut oil until well coated
3️⃣ Spread evenly in the basket
4️⃣ Air fry, timing will depend on your model, mine takes around 15 minutes. Stir well halfway through as it can catch quickly ⏱️
5️⃣ Allow to cool, then stir through dried fruit

💡 Store in an airtight container at room temperature
💡 Lasts up to 2 weeks
💡 Portion, 2 to 3 tbsp with yoghurt and berries 🫐
💡 Tip, use organic oats where possible. Oats can be more heavily sprayed with pesticides compared to some other grains, so choosing organic can help reduce exposure 🌾 I use @flahavansuk 's

You can easily adapt this to your taste preferences by:

• changing nuts and seeds
• swapping dried fruit
• adding flavours like cinnamon, vanilla or a pinch of salt

Plastics, fertility and what you can actually do about it 🧪🌿

The @netflixuk documentary "The Plastic Detox" highlights how microplastics and plastic-associated chemicals are now found in our food, water, air and even the human body.

Chemicals used in plastics, such as BPA and phthalates, can interfere with hormone signalling. This is why they are increasingly being linked to hormone health, including fertility. It is something I regularly discuss with clients in clinic, so I thought I’d share some practical ways to reduce exposure.

🫙 Store food in glass containers or reuse glass jars
💧 Swap plastic bottles for stainless steel (e.g. @chillysbottles , @kleankanteenuk ) and choose filtered tap water
🍱 Wrap lunches in paper or stainless steel containers
🍵 Replace tea bags with loose leaf tea
🥫 Limit canned foods where possible and opt for glass or cartons
♨️ Avoid heating food in plastic

🐟 Limit larger fish such as tuna, swordfish and marlin. Choose smaller fish like sardines, mackerel and anchovies
🥦 Wash fruit and vegetables well if not using organic

🧹 Vacuum regularly, damp dust and ventilate your home
🧼 Use fragrance-free or natural cleaning products (e.g. @ecover_uk Zero range)
🧴 Choose natural or unscented personal care (e.g. @greenpeopleuk , @weledauk )
👕 Opt for natural clothing fibres such as cotton, wool and linen

Supporting your body is just as important 🌿

We cannot completely avoid exposure, so supporting the body’s ability to excrete chemical though the gut is key. To support this process focus on:

🌿 Fibre (vegetables, oats, beans, seeds)
🥣 Fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi)
🌈 A wide variety of plant foods
💧 Staying well hydrated

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the documentary or any swaps you’ve made 💬

Another 5 star review from a lovely client. Thank-you so much for taking the time to leave a review.

Another lovely review that just popped up on my Google page. I’m so pleased to read how I helped her approach her relationship with food beyond numbers as this is something I strongly believe in and forms the foundation of my nutrition work.

It’s porridge season 🪶🥣 and several clients have asked me this week for porridge tips and recipes, so I thought I’d share some here:

I always start with jumbo organic oats 🌾
such as @flahavansuk. Choosing organic oats means they’re grown without synthetic herbicides or pesticides such as glyphosate, traces of which can sometimes be found in non-organic oats. Jumbo oats also take a little longer to digest, keeping you fuller for longer 🙌

Soak them overnight in a little water or milk to make them easier to digest. This also helps your body absorb minerals more efficiently and makes breakfast prep quick the next morning ⏰

Add protein 💪 Use milk or soya milk 🥛 and top with nuts, nut butter or seeds.

Add fruit 🍎🍑🍓 for fibre, antioxidants and a touch of natural sweetness.

My go-to recipe:
30 g jumbo oats cooked with soya milk, cinnamon and one grated apple 🍎then topped with 1 teaspoon almond butter, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds and a spoon of my blueberry 🫐 chia jam (the recipe is on my grid).

This mix gives me around 17 g of protein and 8 g of fibre. Cinnamon may help balance blood sugar, and blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, natural plant compounds that support memory and focus for several hours after eating 🧠

Do you have a favourite porridge topping?

Busy mornings? 🥣 My tips on how to pick a better cereal for your little ones.

As a mum and a nutritionist, I always try to give my kids the best start to the day. For me, a balanced breakfast should have:

🥣 Fibre
🍳 Protein
🍓 Fruit
❌ Low sugar

This helps keep my girls full, stabilises energy, and makes it easier to focus at school.

On a good morning I’ll do oats, porridge, or eggs on toast with nut butter. But mornings don’t always go to plan! Some days we need something quick, and that’s when cereal comes in.
Many cereals are ultra-processed and full of sugar. And the front-of-pack health claims can be misleading:

• “Fortified with vitamins” → still sugary & ultra-processed
• “Source of fibre” → e.g. Coco Pops = only 1 g fibre per bowl
• “Wholegrain” → often just a tiny % wholegrain, rest sugar/refined

Always flip the pack and check the nutrition panel (fibre, sugar, ingredients).

Here’s what I look for in a cereal:
✅ ≥ 6 g fibre per 100 g
✅ ≤ 5 g sugar per 100 g
✅ Short ingredient list

My top choices are @weetabixofficial Weetabix or Oatibix, and @shreddedwheatuk Shredded Wheat.

To boost the nutrition:

🥛 Add milk (dairy or soy for protein)
🌱 Sprinkle seeds/nuts (called “sprinkles” in our house!)
🍎 Add fruit for vitamin C, antioxidants & extra fibre

I hope this helps next time you’re standing in the cereal aisle wondering what’s best for your little ones.

What’s your child’s go-to cereal?

Cooking Up Some Spice Magic

I’m a huge fan of spices – not just for the flavour they bring, but also for their amazing health benefits. Research shows that as little as ½ to 1 teaspoon of spices a day, spread across meals, can help reduce inflammation. 🌿

So when I saw @deirdreegannutrition share about her Indian cookery course with @cook.eat.joy, I couldn’t resist giving it a try. Thanks to a lovely gift from my brother 🎁, I joined the class today with my friend (and fellow nutritionist!) Natalia.

Ela took us on a journey into the magic of Indian cuisine – from how to choose and combine spices, to clever hacks that make cooking easier 🍳. We left with bags full of delicious goodies 🛍️, which I can’t wait to enjoy for dinner tonight. 🍴😋

🌱 TOP NUTRITION TIPS FOR MENOPAUSE 🌱

Declining oestrogen during perimenopause and menopause can bring changes to our bodies. Here are some of my top tips to help manage symptoms and support long-term health:

💪 Eat Protein for Muscle Mass
Protein is crucial for maintaining muscle mass, which naturally declines during perimenopause. Sources include plant-based options like tofu, tempeh, pulses, and nuts, as well as animal sources like chicken, turkey, eggs, and Greek yoghurt.

🦴 Bone-Building Nutrients
Declining oestrogen can speed up bone loss. Ensure you’re getting enough calcium-rich foods like leafy greens, chickpeas, sesame seeds, and almonds. I also recommend Vitamin D with K2 supplements to help your body absorb calcium.

🦠 Support Your Gut Microbiome
Gut health is closely linked to hormone balance. Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, and kombucha are excellent for supporting your microbiome.

🫘 Try Phytoestrogens
Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that mimic oestrogen in your body. These can help alleviate symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats. Foods rich in phytoestrogens include:

• Soya Products: Tofu, tempeh, edamame (contain Daidzein and Genistein)
• Seeds: Flaxseeds and sesame seeds (contain Lignans)
• Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas (contain Coumestans)

Some people find it challenging to consume enough phytoestrogens regularly. That’s why I often recommend promensiluk Double Strength. Promensil’s red clover extract contains four types of isoflavones—Biochanin A, Formononetin, and Daidzein—which may help reduce hot flushes and night sweats 🌙

As always, consult your healthcare provider before adding any supplements to your routine! ✔️

🍫 CHOCOLATE TOFU PUDDING 🍫

Tofu is a plant-based protein made from soybeans. It offers several health benefits, including:

👉 💪 A source of complete protein, providing all nine essential amino acids – perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians!
👉 ❤️ May lower LDL (the so-called “bad” cholesterol).
👉 🦴 An excellent source of calcium (when calcium-set) for strong bones.
👉 🌸 A source of phytoestrogens like isoflavones, which may help balance hormones.

This recipe transforms silken tofu into an indulgent treat that’s high in protein and dairy-free.

Ingredients:

🍴 1 cup of dark chocolate chips
🍴 1 pack of silken tofu
🍴 1 tbsp cocoa powder
🍴 1/4 cup maple syrup
🍴 2 tsp vanilla extract
🍴 A pinch of salt

Method:

1️⃣ Begin by melting 1 cup of dark chocolate chips. You can do this by gently warming them on the hob or microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
2️⃣ Blend the melted chocolate with all the other ingredients until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Enjoy the pudding immediately, or refrigerate it for 5–7 days. It will firm up as it chills, making it even more indulgent.

Enjoy!

🧁🍏 PLANT-BASED APPLE AND CINNAMON MUFFINS 🧁🍏

These plant-based apple muffins are not only tasty but also packed with health fibre and relatively low in sugar. My girls love them as an after-school treat.
Apples are a great source of dietary fibre, which aids digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and keeps you feeling full for longer. By using coconut sugar instead of refined sugar, these muffins offer a lower glycaemic index option, providing a slower release of energy without the dreaded sugar crash. The additional of cinnamon has also been shown to reduce the sugar spike after eating.

Ingredients:
🌾 300 g plain flour
🥥 100 g coconut sugar
🍞 3 tsp baking powder
🥄 1 tsp ground cinnamon
🧂 Pinch of salt
🍏🍎 2 medium apples, chopped finely
🥛 250 ml dairy-free milk (I use soya)
🫒 125 ml olive or coconut oil
🍏 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
🥄 1 tsp vanilla extract

🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a muffin tray with cases.
2. In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients (minus the chopped apples) until just combined.
4. Fold in the chopped apples gently, then divide the batter into the muffin tray.
5. Optional: Scatter some extra chopped apple and a sprinkle of demerara sugar on top for added crunch.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
7. Let cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Enjoy!

WHICH YOGHURT IS BEST?

I am asked often this ques. so thought I'd share my tips:

Regular Yoghurt: Creamy and slightly tangy, made by fermenting milk with live bacteria. Great for gut health if it contains ‘live cultures’. Opt for plain to avoid excess sugars; sweeten with fruit, honey, or maple syrup if desired. Full-fat yoghurt retains milk’s natural fat, keeping you fuller longer and aiding in the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K. It’s often a better choice over low-fat unless you’ve been advised to reduce saturated fat. 🥛🍯

Greek Yoghurt: Strained to remove whey, giving it a thicker texture, higher protein, and lower carbs/lactose. However, it has less calcium than regular yoghurt. Ideal for a high-protein snack! 💪🍶

Skyr : Similar to Greek yoghurt but with a slightly lighter texture and tangier taste. High in protein and great for a filling, nutritious option! 🥄

Kefir Yoghurt: Fermented with a wide variety of probiotics, kefir is excellent for gut health and easier on lactose intolerance. It has a thinner consistency and a tangy flavour. 🌿🦠

Oat: Plant-based and perfect for those avoiding dairy. Creamy with a mild flavour and high in fibre, though lower in protein. Great for sweet or savoury dishes! 🌾💚

Soya: Made from soybeans, this plant-based yoghurt is high in protein and often contains live cultures. A good choice for those with dairy or nut allergies. 🌱🥛

Almond: Light and nutty, made from almond milk. Lower in protein but great with high-protein toppings. Ideal if you’re looking for a lower-calorie, plant-based option. 🌰✨

Coconut: Rich and creamy with a distinct coconut flavour. Best enjoyed as a treat due to its high saturated fat content. 🥥🍨

In Summary:
✨ Choose yoghurts with minimal ingredients.
✨ Opt for plain and add your own natural sweeteners.
✨ For higher protein, go for Greek, Skyr, or soya.
✨ For higher calcium, regular yoghurt is best.
✨ For gut health, choose kefir or yoghurts with live cultures.
✨ If dairy-free, soya is closest to cow’s milk yoghurt.

It’s blackberry season again. I realise that I repeat this type of post each year! We love blackberry picking and usually end up making crumble afterwards. This year I have developed a new crumble recipe which is so tasty and easy to make.

Blackberries have some amazing health benefits; they are an excellent source of Vitamin C and contain antioxidants which may improve brain health.

🐛Blackberries can harbour a few bugs so I always give them a good clean. I soak them in cold water with some vinegar then drain with a colander. I usually repeat this process 2-3 times. It may sound like overkill, but I am a very squeamish person 🤢

6 Ingredient Apple and Blackberry Crumble

Serves 6

🛒YOU’LL NEED

✔️3 apples chopped into 1cm chunks
✔️150g blackberries
✔️75g caster sugar
✔️75g coconut oil
✔️150g plain flour
✔️75g demerera sugar

RECIPE

1️⃣ Heat the oven to 170C fan. Mix the fruit and sugar. Tip into a pie dish.
2️⃣ Rub the coconut oil into the flour to make a breadcrumb texture. Add in the caster sugar until combined and spread over the fruit until completely covered.
3️⃣ Bake for 35-50 mins until golden brown and bubbling, and the fruit is tender. Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving.
Enjoy 😋
