Fig Tahini Seed Cycling Energy Balls

These fig flecked seed cycling energy balls are packed with tahini, sunflower & sesame seeds, so they're the perfect no cook treat for the luteal phase.

It’s contradictory, but: when you’re the only person who cooks, even in a home for two, you never make anything just the way you like it. My earliest food memories took place in various kitchens. There was the flour-dredged wooden table of Nanny D where we greased baking sheets with butter papers she’d hoarded for […]

Fudgy Chocolate Cherry Seed Cycling Balls (nut & coconut free)

These rich fudgy seed cycling balls are the perfect way to seed cycle without the hassle. Enjoy these choco-cherry treats each day of the follicular phase.

I fumble the glue pot, so the spreader stays inexplicably wedged between my chubby fingers while the sticky mass of PVA travels towards my toes. And worse, the classroom’s corner story-time carpet. My eyes screw up so that I can’t see the inevitable: the pot explodes child-safe adhesive all over the butt-worn carpeting, like a […]

Blackberry Blueberry Seed Cycling Smoothie

Make seed cycling a snap with this simple berry-packed seed cycling smoothie. It's creamy, fruity, dairy free & has a truly hidden vegetable boost, too!

Sometimes recipe ideas don’t quite turn out exactly like you expected in The Land Of Frustrated Recipe Testing. Which is where this plantain oatmeal creation came from. I got my hands on some obnoxiously delicious mangoes last week and I couldn’t get the idea of Thai sweet sticky rice with mango out of my head. […]

Salted Caramel Date Shakes

These naturally sweetened, dairy free date shakes from http://meatified.com have your name on 'em. They're creamy, caramel-y goodness with a hint of salt that's decidedly addictive!

I almost called these sticky toffee pudding shakes, based on the classic British dessert that gets its caramel-y goodness from soaked dates. But I figured that might get a little lost in translation if you didn’t grow up in the land where “pudding” means dessert instead of something cold, creamy and kinda spongy in a […]

Sour Mango Smoothie

This Sour Mango Smoothie from http://meatified.com is summer in a glass... with a twist! It's sunny, refreshing and totally dairy & added sugar free, too.

Look at the sunny color of this Sour Mango Smoothie: it’s pretty much impossible to be in a bad mood looking at this sucker, even if it is a million degrees in my kitchen lately. Admittedly, that’s a sliiiight exaggeration, but given that I live in arguably one of the sunniest places on the continent […]
