As promised I persisted after my cinnamon scroll fail & here is take 2...bigger, better & my cute little pooch Pippa agrees!! 🐶♥️

9 g of protein, 5 g of fibre & only 9 g of carbs...plus satisfying & tasty!

Versus a typical small bakery cinnamon scroll which would be more like 1-2 g fibre, half the protein & 5-6 times the carbs...leaving you feeling hungry & flat an hour or 2 later...which would you choose?

Coming soon to the Women's Wellbeing App with the new Summer Meal Plan ☀️ (in less than 2 weeks!) 🙌

AND if you sign up to my Women's Wellbeing Reset in December you get an EXTRA MONTH for FREE.

Check out the link in my bio if you are keen to cruise through summer feeling fab & enjoying delicious nutritious food! ✨

Eating well can & SHOULD be enjoyable & fit into your busy life! ✨🩷

When you eat nourishing meals you feel energised, satisfied & your blood sugars stabilise, eliminated the constant food noise from cravings & hunger. Things snowball & suddenly everything feels easier, clearer, you feel great & ready to handle your busy life without the overwhelm!

Focus on these 5 things (or start with 1 & build from there) and eating well to nourish your body & feel your best will suddenly feel doable:

⭐ Have a plan - meal planning eliminates last minute & impulsive decisions that may lead to convenience foods or throw together meals that leave you feeling tired & hungry. It will save you money 🤑, time ⌛ & extra clutter in your already busy brain! 🤯

⭐ Follow the simple model of: PLANT DIVERSITY (aim for at least 4-5+ different vegetables on your plate including different colours) 🌈 + PROTEIN (30-40+ g protein per meal) + HEALTHY FATS e.g avocado, nuts, or seeds = a satisfying nutrient dense meal

⭐ Have high protein breakfast staples on hand e.g eggs, cottage cheese, protein powder, Greek/high protein yoghurt to start your day well ✅

⭐ Leftovers for lunch - it's a win win win 🙌 Reduces prep time, tasty nutritious lunch sorted, and saves wasting money on bought lunches that don't usually don't deliver on nutrition or satiety

⭐ Fill your meals with flavour & texture. This adds enjoyment, makes you feel full for longer (chewing increases satiety) & using herbs & spices boosts your intake of beneficial plant compounds 🌿🌱

Even if you just focus on one of these tips over the next week or 2 you will feel so much better 🥰 Then you can build from there because you WILL feel so much better & the momentum will begin!! 🙌🩷

Here you go 👉 Raspberry & Coconut Bliss Balls

🩷 Makes 18 delicious bliss balls

🩷 INGREDIENTS
Coconut oil: 1 1/2 T
Peanut butter: 2 T
Maple syrup: 2 T
Monk fruit extract: 2 T
Raspberries (frozen): 1 1/2 cup
Lemon juice: 2 T
Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, brazil nuts, hazelnuts): 3/4 cup
Desiccated coconut: 1 1/2 cup
Chia seeds: 2 T
Vanilla protein powder: 1/2 cup
Coconut flour: 1/2 cup
Psyllium husk: 3 T

🩷 METHOD
⭐ Add the coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, monk fruit extract, vanilla extract, lemon juice and frozen raspberries to a pot and heat over low-medium heat, stirring until melted and combined
⭐ In a food processor blend the nuts until smooth. Add 1 cup of the desiccated coconut, the chia seeds, protein powder, coconut flour, psyllium husk and the wet ingedients from the pot to the food processor. Blend until smooth and well mixed (a ball will form with the mixture)
⭐ Cover a plate with the remaining desiccated coconut
⭐ Roll the mixture into 18 bliss balls and roll in the desiccated coconut
⭐ Place in a container, referigerate and leave to set

🩷 TIPS
This recipe uses a whey protein powder, if you are using a plant based protein powder you will need extra liquid as plant based protein powders are more absorbent. Add an extra 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice or use unsweetened almond milk

⭐⭐ Each bliss ball provides 5 g of protein & 5 g of fibre 🙌
