I really can’t remember where this recipe came from – but it’s very yummy and super simple – and I love that it can be breakfast or desert or snack! Blend one banana into two eggs and some cinnamon till light and fluffy Heat a pan with some coconut oil and spoon in small amounts and watch them like a hawk – they burn easily so make sure you don’t overheat the pan!

We are told about the food pyramid and that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We are also told that fibre is best sourced from grains and calcium from dairy.

The food we are eating is making us sick and we are ‘comfort eating’’ to not feel our hurts – because … Continue reading Listen to and Trust Your Body

Roast 2 cups of raw almonds in oven on moderate heat for 10-15 mins until slightly browned. Throw them into a food processor and blend for about 10-15 mins until the oil separates and you get a lovely creamy paste. Add the vanilla and a touch of cinnamon too. Yummo! It could be drizzled over some chopped up apple with some extra cinnamon and a bit of chopped up mint. I also spread it on some banana pancakes I made on the weekend. Failing that, on a spoon straight from the jar is also pretty good 😉 Continue reading Melissa’s Almond Butter
