Oats have been enjoyed across many cultures as porridge which makes a great warming breakfast during winter, however oats are so versatile and can be used in a range of different recipes. Oats contain fiber, protein, B vitamins, iron, manganese, selenium, phosphorus, zinc and potassium just to name a few. Oats are often renowned for being able to lower cholesterol levels due to their high fiber content, in particular a fiber known as beta-glucan. If you are a Coeliac like me, purchase the gluten free oats available at most health food stores.

Coconut flour is a great substitute to normal flour and is full of fiber, protein and healthy fats. Free of gluten makes it ideal for those that are intolerant or allergic. Coconut flour is easy to digest and low in sugar thereby great for keeping blood sugar levels in check. When it comes to cooking with coconut flour you do not require much flour like you normally would for recipes. It is very absorbent and requires 2-3 times the amount of liquid you would ordinarily use.

Easter always comes with chocolates and often loaded with some much sugar. These chocolates are still tasty but contain less sugar so you can enjoy them

Smoothie bowls have been popular on social media and in health food cafes for some time now and a refreshing bowl of banana ‘nice cream’ is actually really nice. I see smoothie bowls all over Instagram and often 3-4 bananas are used at one time and consumed in that one sitting! 1 banana is plenty to create a smoothie bowl and is still really filling.
