🤎 Date & tahini bites🤎 A scrummy little snac

🤎 Date & tahini bites🤎 A scrummy little snack, perfect for on the go. With lots of healthy fats, fibre and protein, these are a great alternative to your afternoon chocolate bar! 🍫

Ingredients:

Makes about 20 small bars
🤎 125g pistachio nuts
🤎 100g salted, roasted almonds, cashews or hazelnuts (you can roast these yourself by heating in a spoonful of coconut oil at 150C fan for about 15 minutes, until golden but not burnt)
🤎 275g soft dried dates, stones removed
🤎 125g porridge oats
🤎 1 tsp vanilla extract
🤎 3 tbsp runny honey
🤎 2 tbsp tahini
🤎 1-2 tbsp sesame seeds
🤎 150g dark chocolate (optional)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180C fan/gas mark 4. Line a 20cm square cake tin with kitchen parchment. Put the pistachios, nuts and dates in a food processor and whizz to a thick paste. Stir in the oats.
2. Heat the vanilla extract, honey and tahini in a small pan over a medium heat. As soon as you see bubbles forming, stir into the date and nut mixture. Spoon into the lined cake tin, smooth the surface, pushing down firmly, but not so hard you compact the mixture. Sprinkle the surface with sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes until golden, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool in the tin.
3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt in a heatproof mixing bowl balanced over a pan of simmering water.
4. Lift the block of sesame biscuits out of the tin and cut into 18 short rectangles. If you want to add the chocolate, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, covering half the biscuit. Lay each on a piece of baking paper and scatter more sesame seeds over the top, then let the chocolate set. If the room is warm, then you might want to chill them briefly in the fridge.

What’s REALLY stopping you from making changes i

What’s REALLY stopping you from making changes in your life?

Sometimes, we know what we *should* be doing, but actually doing it is another thing entirely…

We can come up with all sorts of excuses for why we aren’t making changes (don’t have time, can’t afford it, don’t have the right equipment, don’t have anyone to help me), but what’s the real reason? 🤔

As part of my role as a nutritional therapist, I help clients to explore what might really be stopping them from making changes.

Get in touch to see how I can help you finally reach those goals you’ve been talking about!

Wishing you all a very HAPPY and HEALTHY New Year

Wishing you all a very HAPPY and HEALTHY New Year 🤍

I was going to post a photo of something more inspirational, but somehow this still, quiet scene (one of about five photos I took over the festive period) seemed to sum up this time of year perfectly.🌙

Whether you’re easing into 2025 gently or are full steam ahead with the New Years’ resolutions, remember to be kind to yourself… Winter is the time of year for hibernation, rest and reflection, so don’t beat yourself up if you’re not smashing it the gym at 6am or drinking a celery smoothie every morning.

If you’re serious about getting your health back on track this year, whether for fertility or for female hormone imbalances (including menopause), I’d love to hear from you to see how I can help. Just drop me a message or book in for a free 30-minute call on my website.

Lots of love for 2025 ✨

Day 24: THE LAST ONE! Celebrate Imperfection 👏🏼

Not every meal or choice has to be “perfect” for hormone health. Stressing over perfection can do more harm than a slice of cake ever will. Be kind to yourself, enjoy the season, and remember: balance is the best gift of all. 💖

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

Day 23: Cheers to Your Liver! 🥂

Your liver is a hormone detox superstar, so support it with cruciferous veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. Add a squeeze of lemon to warm water in the morning for a detox-friendly start 🌟

Day 22: Keep Moving 💃

Movement doesn’t have to mean intense workouts! Dancing in the kitchen, a brisk walk with family, or even cleaning up post-party all keep circulation going and hormones happy. Every little bit counts! 🎶🪩

Day 21: Set your body clock ⏰

Christmas party-induced late nights and dark winter mornings can knock off our sleep patterns. Getting outside first thing in the morning is great for helping to set our Circadian rhythm, or body clock. It’s also a great for stress levels, as well as getting a bit more activity into our day 🌤️

Try and limit screens and artificial light in the evening too - as this can block our melatonin receptors and disrupt our sleep patterns.

Day 20: Omegas

Too much omega-6 from processed foods can throw off hormone balance. Swap out vegetable oils for olive oil, and enjoy plenty of good fats like chia seeds, flaxseeds and oily fish to maintain a healthy balance. Little changes = big impact! ✨
