😭NO CHICKEN IN YOUR CHICKEN GRAVY!😭

This is why checking ingredients in products, is SO important.

What gravy do you buy?

🎄Last minute Lidl finds before Christmas Day!🎄

Have you done your food shopping yet? If not, make sure you grab these mom ultra processed food options from Lidl!

Lidl have really improved their range on minimally processed foods this year and we’re here for it!

Enjoying your food this Christmas should always be the priority. Making little swaps here and there to non UPF versions can make a huge difference to how you feel over the Christmas period 💛.

🥕🧑‍🌾 EATING SEASONAL IS A HEALTH HACK!🧑🏽‍🌾🥕

Can you name all of the fruit and vegetables in this post?

An easy habit you can take into 2026 for a little health boost, by simply switching your fruit and vegetables with the seasons 🙌🏼💛.

Supporting our farmers in the UK is more important than ever.

👌🏼Mentally unstable but spiritually supported by the absence of lunchboxes🙏🏼

Am I right or am I right?

Honestly, I couldn’t have coped this crazy December without reading lunchbox ideas from a list. As a Mum and Nutritionist I am MASSIVELY passionate about making sure my children are nourished at school, with minimally processed lunchboxes.

That is why I created the ‘best brands shopping lists’, which gives you 100s of minimally processed items listed in one place, ready for the food shop (and the dreaded lunchbox prep). Frees up headspace, reduces food shop time and mainly, gives you nourishing lunchbox ideas that I don’t have the headspace for daily 🤯.

Sound like something you need for January?

Comment LIST below and I’ll pop the link over to you. Oh, and you can get the four big supermarket bundle list for half price, at just £9.99!

My “me time” drink of choice this Christmas.

JOMO -Joy of Missing Out.
NOLO - I do not want.

Both very much a bit of me right now.

Ad- I want a drink that feels special, tastes like luxury, but still does me some good.

This One Living organic Ginger and Turmeric kombucha is exactly that. Full of flavour, properly satisfying, with a dose of gut loving microbes too.

It is my ultimate me time drink. Pyjamas on, world off ✌🏼.

You can find it in the fridge section in Sainsburys now!

💛🎄My minimally processed food hamper🎄💛

Christmas doesn’t have to mean ultra processed foods and by switching to some of these items, you’re supporting small businesses (which is more important than ever!)

If you’d like a full list of my hamper foods with some discounts on some of these items…

Comment “HAMPER” and I’ll send them across 💛.

❤️Sourdough candle❤️

Name me a better (non-upf) Christmas buffet show stopper?! I can’t believe it actually works! Our household favourite right now 🫶🏼.

All you need is:

🍞bakery sourdough (or a good quality one)
🧈block of salted butter
🧄2 x garlic cloves
🪴1 x tablespoon dried rosemary
🐝bees wax candle wick (available on Amazon)

How to make it…

1. Use a glass to create a hole in the centre of the sourdough
2. Add the block of butter, rosemary and garlic to pan and cook until sizzling but do not let the butter turn brown
3. Line the glass with Greaseproof paper
4. Carefully pour the melted butter mixture into the lined glass
5. Add the wick to the butter mix and use a food bag clip to hold the wick in the heat centre of the glass
6. Place in fridge for 2 hours
7. Slice the ends of the sourdough ready for tearing, making sure it’s still attached to the loaf
8. Add the candle to the hole of the sourdough
9. Light the candle and watch it melt into the ultimate butter dip.
10. EAT

🎅🏼let me know in the comments if you’ll be trying this!🎅🏼

⭐️🎄Festive Finds in Aldi

It’s not about perfection, but worth making swaps to minimally processed options over the festive period where UPF consumption is heightened.

What will you be trying from Aldi?

🍪🎄Christmas biscuit swap🎄

Swapping assorted chocolate biscuits for a simple shortbread with a shorter ingredient list ✅.

Still a biscuit, still sugar, still not nutritious.
This isn’t about eating more biscuits, saying shop bought is better than homemade, or pretending these are health foods.

⭐️It’s about progress over perfection.⭐️

Make a UPF swap for your friends and family this year!
