For more than 15 years now, I have been helping individuals to better understand their body and show them how nutrition can have a real impact on their daily life. Going further I also collaborate with Corporation to either improve their nutrition strategy or develop the staff wellness.
If you are curious to know how I can support you in achieving your goal, let’s have a quick chat.
Whether it’s first thing in the morning or mid-afternoon, sometimes you need a healthy, energy-filled snack to give you that boost. The key to healthy snacking is to choose foods with a combination of complex carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats and plenty of fibre and these energy balls provide just that!
Total time: 10 mins + 30 mins soaking time
Serves: makes approx. 10 balls
Dietary preferences: Vegan, Vegetarian, Dairy-free, Gluten-free
𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗼𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀
16 dried apricots
40 walnuts
50 cashews
2 tbsp coconut oil
1tsp ground ginger
45g desiccated coconut
𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱
1. Line a baking tray with baking paper
2. Place apricots, walnuts and cashews into a food processor and blend in a food processor until well combined. Add the coconut oil, ground ginger and desiccated coconut and blend again until a dough begins to form. If the mixture feels, try add little more coconut oil. The mixture should be little sticky.
3. Using your hands, make snack sized balls.
4. Roll balls in the desiccated coconut and place on a prepared tray.
5. Place the balls on the prepared tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. Serve balls from the fridge or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

I read a mind-boggling statistic the other day.
‘Every 3 seconds there is an osteoporosis fracture in the world.’
Worldwide, that makes fractures from osteoporosis more common than heart attacks, strokes and breast cancer combined!
Osteoporosis is linked with weak bones and is dubbed the “silent thief “as you don’t feel the damage while it proceeds. Many adults will not be aware they have porous bones until they happen to fall. Falls that result in a fracture to your bones, impact your quality of life massively and if you’re elderly you chance of dying shortly afterwards skyrockets.
There are some groups who at risk of having poor bone density. These are:
➡️ People who have cut out diary in their diets.
➡️ People who follow excessive and extreme diets or those people who don’t eat enough overall.
➡️ Post-menopausal women.

Beautiful
There is no one ‘diet’ that works for everyone but from my 15+ year of working a performance nutritionist I have learnt the following.
….People respond differently. One size doesn’t fit all.
….An all or nothing approach doesn’t work for most people.
…..Nutritional habits that are successful feel reasonable, enjoyable and sustainable.
….Sustainability is everything.
Want to ditch the fads and go for a sustainable and enjoyable way of life instead.
Hello Mediterranean diet.
It’s been named one of the best diets in the world time and time again by nutrition experts and researchers.

✅ Remember nutrition is personalised, so to take this advice up a level speak to a dietitian or a registered nutritionist who can tailor the Med diet to your needs.
