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.

Nettle + Basil Pesto

Simple Hummus
Hummus would have to be heading towards MVP status in the condiment department. It is so ridiculously simple to make at home I question myself why I don’t do it more often. Probably because it usually ends up as Chocolate Hummus at our place, but that’s another...
Sunflower Butter
With most of our schools being nut free for the safety of our lil ones who have severe allergies, it can sometimes be a challenge to work around our kiddos who adore their peanut butter sandwiches. Enter Sunflower Butter, PB’s delicious cousin. You can purchase...
Spinach, Haloumi and Pesto Scrolls

Chocolate Hummus
We love this recipe for so many reasons. It's delicious (it tastes like brownie batter), it's a great source of protein, fibre and heathy fats (chickpeas and tahini... we see you!), it takes minutes to prepare, and the kids will be beside themselves when they find it...
Banana Coconut Slow Cooker Oats
This is one for the kids that don't have time to eat at school... the day dreamers, and the ones who are burning off energy quicker than they can make it. Classic banana and coconut flavours and sweetened with a little honey or maple syrup, you'll be filling hungry...
Rainbow Frittata
One frittata... Five vegetables. That's an easy rainbow checked off with one quick cook-up. This recipe makes enough for 12 individual frittatas, or enough for 6-12 school lunches, depending on how hungry your kiddo is. Eggs are a fantastic brain food for kids,...
