STRAWBERRIES / The best strawberries I have ever eaten were from England. They were bright red and so flavoursome! Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C, manganese, folate (vitamin B9), and potassium. They contain small amounts of several other vitamins and minerals. How do you like your strawbs?

Congratulations to fellow dietitian Georgia on the launch of her new GLUTEN FREE MUESLI! From your friends at FEEDinc, congrats!!! 👊🏻 GH Nutrition

INTRODUCING OUR NEW GLUTEN-FREE MUESLI! 🤩🤩

So our handmade hands can keep up, we are soft launching this cereal at select stockists to begin. We couldn’t help but start at from TODAY!

Ruth at Wiffens has been one of the biggest supporters of my products since day one. Back in 2017, Ruth agreed to be my first stockist and put our 2 flavours of energy balls and 1 flavour of cereal on the top shelf, where they haven’t left since (can anyone remember the brown paper bags🥹). With Wiffens as my first stockist, I was then able to brag to other stockists that we were in such a reputable grocer that we were able to get into our next stockist and so on. Thank you Ruth and everyone at Wiffens. I will be forever grateful. 🙏🤍

Eating leafy greens could be better for oral health than using mouthwash Want to improve oral health? Channel your inner Popeye and eat plenty of leafy greens – a nitrate rich diet could help prevent dental issues before they begin.

Great idea!

Looking for dinner inspo? Stuff a chicken or two (I like to do an extra one so I have leftover roast meat for lunches and quick meals for the next couple of days) with lemon and herbs - or today I used fennel fronds - drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stick it all in the oven. In an hour I’ll add a tray of veggies including the fennel bulbs, pumpkin, potatoes & Brussels sprouts. And dinner cooks while I’m still at my desk.

NO WASTE / I had a few requests on how to make the ‘frittata loaf’ I made yesterday. I basically cleared out the fridge of leftovers (roast sweet potato, baby spinach, cherry tomato, corn, carrot)… I popped these into a big bowl, cracked in four eggs and stirred/combined. Meanwhile I lined a loaf tin with baking paper. Popped the mixture in the loaf tin, sprinkled a little cheese on top, and baked for 30-40min at 180C. Great picnic food. Lisa Xx
