My cheap, delicous, healthy, low GL, protien and calcium rich, quick and easy Hummus recipe. Two and a half cups of red lentils with 4 cups of water simmered for 10 mins, strained, cooled and popped into the good ol blender. Chuck in a tablespoon of dark Tahini, the juice of a lovely big lemon, two pinches of cumin, three tablespoons of a good quality olive oil. Turn on the blender and let it begin to get a hummusey consistency. Add a few tablespoons of water until it's getting that lovely spreadable look and you should be done. |

Heres a pretty easy energy ball recipe. I went through a phase of making tons of these things as their so easy and healthy but kinda worked out expensive. I'm putting them on here because they are still cheaper than shop bought energy bars and healthier. Perfect for the afternoon slump. 7 organic natural dired apricots (health stores, and not the orange ones) 1 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds 1 tablespoon of dessicated coconut 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. 1 tablespoon of walnuts. 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. |

Hummus gets a bad rap as a bland hippie treat but it is seriously handy as a protien source, so filling and gives you plenty of energy. It is so easy to make a batch to keep in the fridge too. Great for bringing to work as part of a stop eating junk at lunchtime regime. Heres my receipe which gets rave reviews from people who usually find Hummus a bit bland. Cook some brown jasmine rice for half an hour in a saucepan of water and let it cool to room temperature. Get a half bag of red lentils and simmer for 10 mins in a saucepan of water. |

Looking for a healthy, sweet snack to help you avoid reaching for the quick fix, high sugar , unhealthy treats. My flapjacks are a sugar free, full of fibre, stomach friendly, tasty, high antioxidant alternative that is really quick and easy to make. 3 cups of oats, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of slippery elm (if using to help heal a digestive complaint). Mix all into a mixing bowl and add 2 and a half cups of water. Mix and leave to stand for 5 minutes. |
