This kale pesto with zucchini noodles is so fresh and vibrant and lots of fun to eat. Traditional pesto is made from fresh basil, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic, salt and cheese. I’m going to show you how to make a healthier, homemade version using whole food ingredients that is just as delicious. There are so many variations of pesto, and in this recipe I decided to use avocado as the base. I also added some kale because it adds extra antioxidants, protein and minerals. Kale is the king of greens, so why not sneak it into recipes when we can? I used green curly kale, but you could use lacina ..read more

These watermelon benefits are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what this fabulous fruit has to offer. I feel watermelon is an underrated fruit, and people definitely don’t eat enough of it. Many people might eat a slice or two from a fruit platter for breakfast during the summer, or add some to a juice, but watermelon actually deserves to be the foundation of a meal if you truly want to maximise its health benefits. I recommend eating an entire (small) melon for breakfast on its own. Or you can eat one following a freshly made fruit and vegetable juice, or before another breakfa ..read more

Zucchini pasta is a delicious and nutritious alternative to cooked pasta. Although I have nothing against cooked wholegrain or gluten free vegetable pasta (stay away from the processed white stuff!), it is heavy and can leave you feeling a tad bloated. Zucchini on the other hand, is not only full of nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and manganese, but will leave you feeling light and energised. This dish showcases zucchini in a delicious way while allowing you to experience all of its amazing health benefits. How to make zucchini pasta The easiest and best way to mak ..read more
