walking lightly on earth
We’ve been out picking spray free strawberries for the freezer. At the same time it’s an activity that involves lots of nutritious movement. All the squatting and kneeling is great for a pregnant lady like me Opposite chair and couch sitting, it facilitates and encourages […]

Bringing your own snacks is a great way to reduce packaging and avoid processed foods when going out.
I find it very helpful to bring our own snacks to offer our four year old. We avoid buying packaged and processed snacks full of sugars.
I’ve also bought reusable bags and tubs to minimise plastics. Better for our health and the planet.

I’ll sometime make gluten free oatmeal but I always add hydrolysed gelatin powder (also called collagen powder) and coconut oil or butter. This way my oatmeal becomes more than just a carbohydrate rich meal. The gelatin/collagen increases your dietary protein and essential amino acids. Amino acids such as glycine, lysine and proline supports the body’s ability to grow muscle mass and maintain healthy bones, joints and skin. The coconut oil or butter increases your dietary fat intake of healthy fats. If you don’t have gelatin or collagen powder, you can add psyllium husk instead which will increase your dietary intake of fiber.
INGREDIENTS
½ cup Gluten free oats
1 Small apple, peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces
½ cup Unsweetened apple sauce
½ cup Water
½ cup Non-dairy milk (I used coconut milk powder + water)
½ tsp Cinnamon
⅛ tsp Nutmeg
1 tbsp Natural sweetener (if needed)
2 scoops Gelatin powder (I use Bulletproof’s Collagen Protein) (optional)
2 tbsp Coconut oil or butter (optional)
TOPPING
1 Apple, peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp Coconut oil or butter
2 tbsp Chopped nuts
A little natural sweetener (to taste)
DIRECTIONS
In a small saucepan, combine oats, diced apples, apple sauce, water, non-dairy milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, gelatin powder and coconut oil or butter. I let it soak in the fridge over night. Simmer until liquid has absorbed into the oats, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 8-10 minutes. Add more water and your natural sweetener if needed.
Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan, melt the coconut oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced apple chunks and little natural sweetener of your choice. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener has melted and formed a caramel-like sauce on the apples. Stir in the nuts.
Serve the oatmeal immediately, topped with the caramelised apples. Enjoy!

This morning I added homegrown black currants from the freezer to my smoothie bowl I was making. I topped it with homemade grain free granola. Delicious and a great boost of vitamin C. The smoothie bowl also contains avocado, banana, collagen protein powder, green powder, […]
