Sour Cherry & Vanilla Bites

It’s cherry season in Aus, but for me that means hours at the sink with the new (and very unnecessary) kitchen gadget removing the pits. While fresh fruit is always best, it’s sometimes nice just to skip the hard labour and opt for the dried option instead. These delicious sour cherry bites are great when you just want something a little sweet to round off a dinner (or even breakfast, in my case) but you don’t want to devour a whole bowl of pud. This one’s for you, snacky sweet lovers… high protein, raw, gluten free: the perfect way to keep up that New Year’s resolution!

Honey & Lemon Cheesecake

Honey, Lemon & Macadamia Cheesecake

Honey and Lemon serve a much better purpose than just a cold remedy, dontcha know? This amazing flavour combo works as a delicious ‘cheesecake’ (minus the cheese) in this dairy and gluten free recipe. Perfect for a special occasion, or just a weekday – with ingredients to healthy, who needs an excuse?!

Black Forest Chia Pudding

Black Forest Chia Breakfast Pots

Remember Sarah Lee’s Black Forest Gateau?! I know, pretty hideous right. As a kid I ate that stuff a lot. So I haven’t quite replicated the original because it was just, well…nasty. I do however, still love the idea of using dark (antioxidant full!) berries with something creamy. This Chia Breakfast Pot really hits the spot! Sorry Sarah…
