eating healthier | snacks to try

with winter gone and more fresh produce finally starting to hit the shops, I’ve decided it’s time to clean up my eating habits and make healthier choices.

the first “meal” I’m looking at overhauling are snacks. too often I end up grabbing something that’s quick calories, but doesn’t have great nutritional value. to improve my snacking habits, here are the five recipes I am working to incorporate into my life to become healthier and happier.

1.  fresh fruit salad | this gal cooks
2. barbecue flavoured roasted chickpeas | a life of geekery
3. frozen yogurt covered blueberries | family fresh meals
4. chocolate-coconut protein powder popsicles | jason boehm nutrition via men’s fitness
5. zesty baked kale chips | a spicy perspective

what about you? do you have any healthy snacks you love? I’d love to hear your ideas and favourites, so please drop me a line.

 

 

savoury fritters | 5 recipes to try

I always have a weird assortment of food in my fridge and often have to scrape to get a proper recipe together.

Enter the fritter! If you’re like me and often fail at grocery shopping, fritters are a great savoury way to use up leftovers and the other odds you might find yourself with.

The great thing about fritters is that they typically only need flour and possibly an egg to work, and they help clear out your fridge. Plus, they’re super tasty. What more could you want?

Here’s 5 recipes to get you started! If you have any other fritter recipes you think are fanatic, let me know. I’m always looking for something new and delicious.

2. jalapeño corn popper fritters | closet cooking
3. crispy cauliflower-carrot fritters with smoky garlic aioli | oh my veggies
4. roasted aubergine & feta fritters | simply delicious
5. brussels sprouts fritters | heather christo
