Your kids will have a ball helping you make (and e Your kids will have a ball helping you make (and eat) this simple Christmas yoghurt bark. ⁠ My husband’s Austrian relatives would probably have a good old chuckle at the idea of a frozen dessert for Christmas.⁠ ⁠ But here in Australia where it’s all about warmth, swims, sunshine and another shrimp on the barbie at Christmas time, this frozen yoghurt bark is the perfect way to dial the heat right down.⁠ ⁠ The beauty of this recipe is that once Christmas is done you can experiment with lots of fun toppings and enjoy a delicious and cooling snack right through the summer.⁠ ⁠ Combinations like mango, macadamia and coconut, or dark chocolate chip and banana, or you could swirl some homemade chia jam or St Dalfour’s raspberry jam through the yogurt and top with mixed frozen berries.⁠ ⁠ Yum!⁠ ⁠ Grab the recipe in my bio.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #yoghurt #yoghurtbark #yoghurtrecipes #summerrecipes #refreshingrecipes #lightrecipes #healthyrecipes #yogbark #recipestotry #easysnack #yoghurtsnack #snacking #eatsss #foodblogs #foodblogfeed #foodbloggersofinstagram #foodies #foodforfoodies #lovefood #hungry #snacksideas #frozenyoghurt #summertreats #healthytreats #christmasrecipe #dessert #summerrecipes #kidscooking #healthysnacks #frozendessert
Although I created this Gingerbread smoothie recip Although I created this Gingerbread smoothie recipe as a winter warming smoothie, if you throw a bunch of ice in and blend, it really gets you into the Aussie Christmas mood 🎄🌞⁠ ⁠ This smoothie is full of goodness and therefore perfect for the whole family 'cause it’s high in fibre, protein, and calcium, and a good source of vitamin C (banana) and iron (molasses and chia seeds), protecting our immune system and keeping us healthy and strong. ⁠ ⁠ And because it's all blended up, it's really gentle on your digestion which makes it that much easier for our bodies to assimilate and utilise all the nutrients.⁠ ⁠ This Gingerbread Smoothie can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack, or dessert! Just head to my bio for the recipe.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #aussiechristmas #australianchristmas #gingerbread #gingerbreadsmoothie #healthyliving #healthysydney #sydneyfood #sydneyfoodies #sydneyfoodblog #vegansydney #vegansofsydney #sydneyveganguide #sydneyvegans #smoothie #smoothies #easysmoothierecipe #gingerbread #gingerbreadsmoothie #smoothierecipes #smoothie #smoothies #smoothierezept #breakfastideas #healthysmoothies #healthysmoothie #plantbased #healthykids #healthybreakfastrecipes #breakfasttime #healthysnacks

Since restrictions have eased, gradually life has Since restrictions have eased, gradually life has slowly returned to ‘normal’ which has meant full flight insane pace (!) and I've been feeling that all too familiar crazy feeling and symptoms of having constantly elevated cortisol. Anyone relate?⁠ ⁠ It's come with symptoms like cravings, indigestion, weight gain , vertigo, body aches and pains, brain fog ...⁠ ⁠ Elevated cortisol isn’t just from emotional stress it’s also a result of poor self-care. If you’re a ‘midlife’ women like me, reducing stress and engaging in CONSISTENT self-care are KEY to maintaining a positive health and reducing all those nasty symptoms.⁠ ⁠ So ask yourself what you need to feel good. What are some things you want to do? The Mini Self-Care bundle might just be a blessing for you. It contains 22 self care resources worth over $800 which you can access for just $27 (!), including the wonderful 6 part women's hormone video series I created with Naomi Judge - Naturopath which itself is valued at Aus$50.⁠ ⁠ Just hit the link in my bio to find out more. Offer ends at 4pm today.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #motherhoodunplugged #hormonalhealth #selfcaredaily #selfdiscovery #overwhelm #managinganxiety #selfregulation #emotionalwellbeing #mumstruggles #emotionalwellness #mymotherhood #hormones #selflove #selfcompassion #motherhoodjourney #emotionalhealth #nervoussystem #recharge #reset #tiredmom #tiredmumsclub #momlife #femalehormones #guthealth #hormoneimbalance #perimenopause #healthyeating #naturopath #healthyhabits #cortisol ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
This was me a year ago. Celebrating my 50th with s This was me a year ago. Celebrating my 50th with some forced relaxation in Hawaii. Fast forward to today where I'm in renovation and moving overwhelm, with a website that has been hacked, desperately pouring huge $$ for people to try fix it, feeling all the stress! And now, after some health tests, I've discovered I've got a few unexpected issues 😱 (All is revealed in my newsletter).⁠ ⁠ Short story, while I've been looking after everything and everyone else, my health has suffered. I've got to get on top of things otherwise my issues will worsen and become harder to treat.⁠ ⁠ How about you? Have you been ignoring your health? Have you been taking care of yourself the way you deserve? Have you done your bloods and other health check recently?⁠ ⁠ If you’ve quit taking care of yourself, I am SO excited to tell you that it’s not too late with the 2020 Self Care Mini Bundle. It's times like these I refer back to my own copy of the Self Care Mini Bundle which contains 22 resources worth $750, which you can get for $27 for the next two days only. ⁠ ⁠ These resources offer the best guide to how to live life with less stress and more joy, which becomes a blessing to the whole family, and everyone you come in contact with.⁠ ⁠ The Self-Care Mini Bundle gives you somewhere to start to make diet and lifestyle changes today. Just remember, you don’t have to do everything all at once — pick one and add it to your daily routine. These steps add up to give you better energy, mental clarity, and overall quality of life. ⁠ ⁠ Find out more about The Self-Care Mini Bundle via the link in my bio and take control of your health.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #healthandwellness #healthyeating #wellness #selfcare #healthcourses #nutrition #recharge #eatrealfood #momlife #fitmom #healthymom #investinyou #guthealth #fitness #makeyoupriority #selfimprovement #healthyhappylife #motherhood #mindset #happyhormones #hormonebalancing #workinprogress #makeyourselfhappy #restore #selfcareishealthcare #selfcarematters #selfcaredaily #selflove #healthyhabits #tiredmumsclub⁠ ⁠
