Hey guys, Fuchsia here!

I'm excited to announce that my VEGAN FOR VITALITY group interactive programme is back for 2023 and looking even better than ever 🥳

After 5 years of working with people to improve their energy levels and wellbeing on a vegan diet, AND 15 years living it myself...

I've condensed everything you need to know about building balance on a vegan diet into one package.... to help you eat well every day 🌱

This is for you if you...
✅ Have been struggling with low energy levels and getting nutritious meals on the table, but now you're ready to make space to put YOUR health first 🎉
🌱 Have doubts about whether you are getting all the NUTRIENTS you need to THRIVE but don't know where to start
🌱 Have been eating the same meals and want to bring more vibrancy to your plate
🌱 Are sick of spending up large on SUPPLEMENTS you're not sure you need but you're too scared to give them up
🌱 Are ready to spend the next 6 weeks nailing your nutrition

I know what you're thinking... will a programme meet my personal needs?

This was MY reservation about offering a group programme too...

Which is why I've built in layers to the programme so that the teaching is personalised to you 🙌

For starters...
🌱 Your diet will be individually analysed by a Vegan Registered Dietitian (yours truly), and we will work together in a 1:1 consultation to form your individualised GAME PLAN for the Programme.
🌱 AND you will have access to a Vegan Registered Dietitian throughout the programme, so you can ask all your burning questions NOW!
🌱 PLUS, working with a Registered Dietitian in this way also means that if you have any medical conditions, you don't have to miss out 💚
🌱 And on top of this, you will have access to the Vegan for Vitality community facebook group, where you will have ongoing support and opportunities to connect with likeminded people 🎉🎉

The end result? You will feel confident that you are following the best vegan diet for YOU. 🌱

Kia ora koutou, wishing you and your whānau are well🌼 On Saturday 11 Feb we have our first potluck of the year, looking forward to seeing you!

Our guest speaker is Fuchsia Goldsmith, a plant based dietitian and nutritionist practising in Auckland, New Zealand - she's going to explain how to build balanced meals :) Fuchsia discovered plant-based nutrition almost 15 years ago and seeing the impact this has had on her health is what set her on the path of seeking knowledge about nutrition.

🚨 FINAL CALL 🚨

This is your last chance to send through any questions you have on Vitamin D…

… so that they can be answered by Dr Luke and myself on todays Vegan for Vitality: Monthly Live 🔎

We’re going to be doing a deep dive into vitamin D this afternoon at 2pm, live on Instagram. To join the conversation, just search up Dr Luke or myself on Instagram and tap on our story at 2pm! (It will be glowing 😉)

We hope to see you there 📚🌱

🥁 DRUM ROLL PLEASE 🥁

I am DELIGHTED to announce that that Dr Luke Wilson and I will be doing a monthly live here on Instagram at 2pm on the first Sunday of every month. 🗓

Some of you may be familiar with Luke from our recent conversation about Vitamin B12, but for those of you aren’t, here’s why I’m so excited to share a screen with him!

Luke is not only a superstar GP and NZ Director of Doctors for Nutrition (registered charity), he has a proven track record of helping hundreds of people to improve their health through plant based nutrition.

So why am I so excited to have Luke on board?

Luke has done the hard yards to learn about plant based diets and health, so you don’t have to!

☑️ He is a qualified General Practitioner, so he’s bound to support evidence based recommendations
☑️ He is board certified by the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine, which allows him to have a deeper understanding of health
☑️ He has a Masters Degree in Psychology, so is able to fully appreciate the interplay between food and mood
☑️ He has completed new research on plant based diets, and spoiler alert, the results were unprecedented! (See the BROAD Study for Details)

So… this is your OPPORTUNITY to have two plant based health professionals talk about the topics that YOU want to know more about 🧠

Flick me a DM with a topic you’d love to see covered or a specific question that’s been on your mind and we will add it to our list! ✏️

Disclaimer: This is a FREE service and advice will be generalised. The advice in these sessions is not meant to replace the advice you have been given by other healthcare professionals in individual consultations. If you would like personalised advice, send me a DM with your request. I am currently taking on a small number of new clients.

Kia ora everyone! ☀️

I’ve noticed I’ve been getting a few new people joining my page recently… so I wanted to take a moment to say welcome, and thank you! I’m thrilled to have you on board 🎉

My name is Fuchsia (named after the colour, the flower and a pesky princess in a book my Mum was reading when she was pregnant) 🌸

I went vegan when I was 15 after reading about the treatment of animals in the food industry 🐷

I stayed vegan because I saw the incredible impact it had on my health and the health of others. This sparked an interest and I started to learn more and more about nutrition in my spare time 📚🍎

Hungry (pardon the pun 😉) for more, I went on to study a Bachelors in Food Science & Nutrition and then a Masters in Dietetics at the University of Auckland 👩‍🎓…

Here I was immersed in the world of clinical nutrition to build the skills I hold today in helping people unlock better health through nutrition 🙌

Fuelled with a passion for plant based nutrition (not only for personal health but for planetary health too), I created Feed Nutrition as an outlet to share my knowledge with others!

After 4 years practicing in this space and 14 years vegan, I’ve helped countless people improve their diet and manage nutrition related diseases so that they can feel better every day.

… because life is too short not to!

So that’s a bit about me, I would love to hear a bit about your story in the comments below!! 👇

🔥 AIR FRYER FALAFELS 🔥

I'm a big fan of falafels, they're delicious on platters, in a pita or on rice with plenty of hummus and salad 🥗

Falafels are packed with goodness, usually being a mixture of chickpeas, spices and onions, but what I've found is that the store bought falafels can have lots of oil and fillers in them.

But this doesn't need to be the case - you can make your own at home in ~20 mins!

With the help of a handy airfryer (or oven), you can have homemade falafels in three steps! All you need to do is...

✅ Pop all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
✅ Roll into balls.
✅ Cook for 15 minutes in the airfryer.

These falafels are:
- Gluten Free
- Oil Free
- Vegan
- High protein
- High calcium
- Lower calorie
- Absolutely delicious

I like serving mine with turmeric rice, tabbouleh and hummus, yum! 😍 I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

** This recipe was created for a client who had just bought her first air fryer and wanted something simple she could make up for her lunches. If you are wanting to take the next step in your nutrition too, flick me a DM saying "I'M READY"!

Hey guys! I’m excited to announce that I am opening up a few spots to work with me over the next month! 🎉

I’m looking for 3 people who have been following a vegan diet for at least 2 years but… have started to notice low energy levels and are worried that they aren’t getting all of the nutrients they need to thrive. 🌱☀️

If you want peace of mind and to get back to the best version of yourself DM me the word “VEGAN” now to see if this is right for you. 💚💚

Note: you must want to continue eating a vegan diet (no need to change!) and be committed to taking a deep dive into your nutrition. 🤓

🚨🚨BREAKFAST "BURGER" PANCAKE ALERT!! 🚨🚨

Can't decide on brunch or burgers? In that awkward in between time when it's too early for a full blown burger but too late for sweet pancakes? 🤷‍♀️

Well, this is how I was feeling over the long weekend, so I decided that it was high time that savoury pancakes got a serious upgrade. 🙌

As you may know, I'm a big fan of savoury breakfasts and new food concepts. So it will come as no surprise that this meal ticked all my boxes. ✔️

This recipe features pickle pancakes as your "bun", roasted peppers, tomato and toasty smoked paprika vegan chicken as the "burger". 🍔

Swipe across to see the full recipe and feel free to mix it up to create your own ultimate brunch! ➡️

Happy eating!

Special thanks to Golden Sun for sending a gorgeous gift pack including the pickles and jalapenos that inspired this recipe :)

WHAT SHOULD I EAT? ✨

Without special attention, plant based diets can be low in protein and calcium. Tofu scramble will start your day with a boost of both ✨

This is one of my favourite simple recipes to start the day. It takes about 10 mins to make.

RECIPE (serves 1-2 depending on how hungry you are!)

✨ Crumble 1 block of tofu in a bowl
✨ Fry tofu with a dash of oil, seasoning with salt, ~2tsp turmeric and a generous sprinkle of ground cumin.
✨ When almost cooked through, add thinly sliced silver beet to wilt.
✨ Serve on grainy bread and top with seeds. I chose pumpkin and sesame.

THIS RECIPE IS
⭐️ High in protein with plenty of tofu.
⭐️ High in calcium (if you choose tofu that states ‘calcium’ on the ingredients, some kiwi brands are made with magnesium instead).
⭐️ Provides healthy fats and trace minerals from seeds.

What’s your favourite weekend breakfast? ☀️
