I’ve got a fast & easy recipe for you today that is perfect for when you are feeling like a sweet treat or are in need of some comfort food but you do not want an entire cake or a big tray of brownies on the kitchen counter, tempting you every time you see it, (I know I certainly don’t need that!!)
This is one of my favourite go-to recipes on a busy day because it only has five ingredients and it is super fast and easy. To make it even easier, I use the food processor to prepare the vegetables.
These are my favourite vegetables to use, but really, you can use any vegetables you like, and if you want to make it vegan, you can use a can of black beans instead of the meat, (I actually like it better with made with the black beans!)
You have been perfect with your ‘diet’ for weeks now and you have been exercising consistently as well going to the gym most days of the week when suddenly you get that feeling, like you just need to have a piece of chocolate or a cookie. One won’t hurt right? Now you find yourself feeling guilty because you have completely ruined your perfect diet, might as well have another one then, next thing you know the whole packet is gone.
I have a veggie packed recipe to share with you today!
This is my spin on zucchini slice. I love zucchini slice, I like to make it on the weekend or when I have a day off, slice it up into portions and freeze it so I have a healthy meal ready to take to work, or after a busy day when I don’t feel like cooking.
To make this recipe even easier to prepare, I used my food processor to grate the zucchini, carrots, and broccoli. You can use a hand grater if you don’t have a food processor it will just take a bit longer.
Have you ever noticed how some goals make you feel like you’re at the mercy of outside forces, like how your clothes fit or the scales, while other goals put you firmly in the driver’s seat?
You can’t directly CONTROL the end result. For example, you can’t actually control “losing 20kg” even if you wanted to.
But what you can control is the actions you need to take to make it happen - like adjusting your nutrition and changing your workouts (among other things).
Creating action based goals are not only great for your confidence and building momentum, but they will also give you clear benchmarks for success.

Who here has a sweet tooth? I know I certainly do!
That is why I love to make healthier versions of my favourite sweet treats.
Today I am sharing a healthier brownie recipe, it uses black beans and oats instead of flour which means it is packed full of fibre, it has no refined sugar, and if you use dark or dairy-free chocolate chips, it’s also vegan-friendly.
Who doesn’t like a treat every now and then? I know I certainly do, especially ones that involve chocolate.
Today I am sharing a recipe for a healthier version of chocolate chip cookies. The recipe is gluten-free, paleo-friendly, vegetarian, and can be vegan if you use dark chocolate chips that do not contain any milk (just make sure you check the label).
Recipes like this are proof that it’s totally possible to enjoy an occasional treat while living a healthy lifestyle.
