Cottage cheese with blueberries <3
Warming Microwave Carrot, Apple and Cinnamon Snack
Chop up some carrots, throw them into a microwave safe bowl with a splash of water and microwave for 3 mins. Add chopped up apple and cinnamon to taste (you can also add sweetener like Stevia) and microwave for a further 3-4 mins.
Movie snack!!! - Two sliced apples which I dipped into cinnamon =) Yum! So sweet, juicy and crispy!

Late Night Snack!
Usually when I come home after a big day and I’m hungry, I just go to bed and wait for breakfast - but last night I was just too hungry! So I had some baked beetroot and cooked prawns! (I also had a big of cottage cheese) It was DELISH!

Snow Roll! (Cottage cheese and eggwhites)
Both eggwhites and low fat cottage cheese are very healthy and are very high in protein, so I made myself a very yummy little lunch using just the 2 ingredients! (Plus a bit of olive oil to fry it in). It’s great for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a post-workout snack!
- Whisk 4 eggwhites and pour onto a hot pan greased with a tiny bit of olive oil.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese into the centre and roll up!

Experiment with different veggies!
Go buy yourself a light dip like cream cheese, spicy capsicum, hummus or tzatziki (or make it yourself!) and cut up some fresh vegetables! There is so much fibre and nutrients in raw veggies, so get plenty of them into your day! Just cut the veggies into thin sticks or round/oval chip shapes! Some good raw dipping veggies are:
- Red, green or yellow peppers
- Zucchini
- Cucumbers
- Carrots
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
- Green beans
- Beetroot slices
- Lettuce
- Cabbage
- Celery
- Parsnips
- Radish
- Mushrooms
So next time you’re feeling like a snack/healthy big lunch or are preparing for a party/sleepover/study session - cut up some of these yummies and get yourself a good dip! =D Or even better, eat them by themselves! =D

Perfect TV Snack!
Sometimes you just don’t feel like eating celery and carrot to be healthy…But it instantly becomes way more delicious when your veggies are cut into little sticks and are accompanied by a delicious light tzatziki or hummus! =)

CLEANSING, DETOX LITERAL SALAD WRAP
If you want to completely clean your body, flood it with nutrients and feel amazing, then you have to try this wrap! This wrap incorporates almost 5 serves of veggies into one low-fat, carb-free salad wrap! It’s an amazingly filling meal to have for breakfast to kickstart your day, for lunch, or even for dinner.
1. Slice some cucumber lengthways and arrange it on some foil.
2. Add some capsicum, spinach leaves and layer 1/4 of an avocado on top. The avocado is important because without it, the wrap may taste a bit like grass. The avocado adds good fats, and a delicious creaminess to the wrap.
3. Slice up some tomato and peel some carrot into ribbons.
4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and WRAP IT UP!
Your body will thank you. Trust me.
HAPPY CLEANSING!

[ Lightly Fried Eggwhites with Green Peppers ]
Fresh, Juicy, Sweet and Healthy!
‘FRUIT’ doesn’t always mean the ordinary stuff like apples, pears, bananas, oranges…Mix it up with delicious vitamin-packed summer fruits like MANGOES, STRAWBERRIES, MELONS, PINEAPPLE, KIWI, PAWPAW etc!

Rustic Apple and Cinnamons Mini Muffins
This is pretty much a freestyle recipe of mine, so give it a go and see if you like it! They turn out chewy and crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, like little pies!
Dry Ingredients:
Cup of wholemeal selfraising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon powder
1 grated apple (any kind)
Wet ingredients
1 eggwhite
1 teaspoon olive oil
21 drops liquid Stevia extract (equal to about 7 teaspoons of sugar)
5 teaspoons skim milk
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, gently until you have a thick batter. If it’s TOO thick and dry, add some water.
Pile into a nonstick muffin pan, sprinkle with sesame seeds if you want, and place into a preheated oven on medium heat for about 25 minutes (while they’re baking, go do some exercise! Make some calorie room!)
Take out, allow to cool for about 5 mins.
***It’s gooey on the inside not because its raw but because the grated apple softens down and turns into a puree!
Makes about 5 mini muffins (I ate one from the pic already). Equal to ROUGHLY 80 calories per muffin, but don’t forget that we’ve replaced all the normal cake ingredients with healthier/low fat alternatives:
White flour —> wholemeal flour
Sugar —> natural sweetener
Milk —> skim milk
Butter —> olive oil
Egg —> eggwhite
Flavour —> healthy cinnamon, apple and nutmeg.
