Recipes
In today’s fast-paced world, where convenience is often essential, thoughtful choices are so important when it comes to our families nutrition. By embracing the principles of naturopathy, we follow a holistic approach that values the innate wisdom of the body and the power of natural ingredients – food as medicine! We’ll work with you to start improving the balance, colour and nutrition in lunchboxes in a way that works for your family.
Navigating allergies or intolerances, or family members with a limited list of foods they enjoy can be overwhelming and frustrating. Together we can find ways to help gently add more foods and diversity to those lunchboxes and minimise any uncomfortable symptoms along the way.

Super Green Zucchini Slice
This Super Green Zucchini Slice is your new lunchbox staple. We've taken out the flour to make it gluten free and added in some leftover quinoa for a serve of whole grains and extra protein. To make the slice EXTRA green, simply add your baby spinach into a jug with...
Apple Walnut Granola
I love making homemade granola and I've had lots of favourite recipes over the years. This is my current fave as it uses whole apples in the form of applesauce to help with the clumping and the sweetening, and it is loaded with walnuts and I'm completely in love with...
Banana Brekkie Bars
These Banana Brekkie Bars are another great way to use up your really ripe bananas. The rest of the ingredients are all just pantry staples which you can mix and match depending what you have on hand. I use butter and peanut butter in this recipe but it can be...
Sweet Potato and Lentil Burgers
Try these simple vegan burgers instead of the store-bought options that are loaded with additives - vegetable oils, thickeners, flavours, colours, yeast extract, preservatives and emulsifiers... going 'plant-based' gives the impression of making a healthier choice,...
Five Minute Noodles
Two minute noodles just sound like the answer to easy weekend lunches or after school hunger busters; they're quick, cheap, easily accessible, they last ages in the cupboard... but holy moly, there is some nasties in there - loads of sodium, vegetable oils and...
Apple Blender Pancakes
We love Saturday pancakes at our house. So much so, I probably said the same thing in the last pancake recipe I posted! I'm a big fan of using whole grains (usually oats) as the base, and sweetening with fruit for extra fibre and flavour. This version is on rotation...
Oat and Apple Breakfast Slice
This one is a great one to prepare before bed, so it has time to cool in the fridge before brekkie. Takes 5 mins to prep and 20-30 minutes in the oven. Serve with some extra yoghurt or ricotta to spread or dip. It's got 3 sources of plants which your gut will love,...
Falafel Cupcakes
Fun little savoury 'muffins', we've turned falafel into cupcakes. Rich in plant ingredients (they're vegan), fibre and protein, plus we've topped it with hummus 'icing' for even more fibre and plant protein, plus some healthy fats... it's a lunchbox all-rounder! This...
Fruit Gummies
It took me ages to work up the courage to make gummies fir my kids. I don't know why... (actually, I do. Every time I've attempted to make a cheese cake with gelatine leaves in the past, I always ended up with a lumpy cheesecake)... BUT... working with powdered...
Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Oats area a great breakfast option as they are a great source of fibre, a good source of protein for filling hungry tummies until lunchtime, and the complex carbohydrates are essential for boosting concentration and focus. The cinnamon in these oats help to regulate...
Sweet Potato Circles
This recipe is so simple, it's ridiculous. And on top of that, it can be used in lots of different ways... As a dipper. As a replacement for the corn chips in your nachos. As a whole food swap for a chip addiction. As a base for whatever topping your imagination can...
Roast Tomato and Quinoa Soup
Whilst some of the vitamin C content of the tomatoes may be lost in the roasting process, the cooked tomatoes will, however, be a rich source of lycopene. Lycopene is a type of carotenoid, a plant compound that gives some fruits and vegetables their pink or red...
