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. ⁣

Here are some of the key principles ⬆️ ⁣

✅ 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. ⁣

One thing in life that is inevitable is aging. But you can be proactive with your aging and age awesomely!

There are places in the world called Blue Zones where people live the longest and healthiest. ⁣

What the people in these areas eat and how the live gives us big clues on how to be awesome as you age. ⁣

Here are 9 foods that support healthy ageing and why. ✨⬇️⁣

1. Green tea - contains a powerful antioxidant, EGCG that fights DNA damage from UV rays. Thought to support the body with detoxification also. ⁣

2. Olive oil - due to the anti-inflammatory properties. ⁣

3. Dark Chocolate - flavanols that act as antioxidants in the body which may improve skin health. ⁣

4. Oily fish - high in omega 3, selenium, protein and amino acid astaxanthin. Prevents signs of ageing by reducing inflammation in the body⁣

5. Flaxseed - high in fibre and contain antioxidants known as lignins which fight free radicals in the body. They are also rich in omega 3⁣

6. Pomegranates - contain the substance urotlithin A research suggests that it boosts the mitochondria.⁣

7. Watercress - is rich in beta carotene, Vit E, Vit C and 2 powerful antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin.⁣

8. Herbs and Spices - contain some antioxidants.⁣

9. Nuts and Seeds - are nutrient packed powerhouses giving you protein, healthy fats and antioxidants.⁣

Happy Women’s Day⁣

I spoke yesterday at London business school on how to Thrive not just Survive as a women.⁣

Take home messages.. ⁣

What incredible beings we are ladies. Complex yes - but there in lies our kryptonite.⁣

Actionable steps to take to work with your unique physiology⁣

1. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 - no matter your age. This is a must. So many apps out there. Try Flo, Clue or Wild for example. ⁣

2. 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹. You can begin this at any age but prioritise it when you are in your 40’s as part of your self care to sit down and check in with yourself.⁣

3. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. One size doesn’t fit all. Most of the advice out there is tailored to men. Find someone to help you support your biology. Book yourself in with a Woman’s Health Dietitian or Nutritionist. I work with high achieving women in my clinic - look in the bio for info on how to book a FREE discovery call.⁣

What I see in my clinic with many of my female clients is that they don’t eat enough protein. Protein is key for maintaining our muscle mass, super important for us ladies as we start off with less to begin with! ⁣

We need to prioritise protecting our muscles and that is why it’s super important we’re eating enough protein. ⁣
