Coconut Cacao Carob Granola

I love a home made granola where I know what’s gone into it and how much healthier it is than the shop brought stuff. This is the king of Granolas. It’s gluten free and made with coconut so is great for those who are oat intolerant too. Coconut is a fantastic source of good fat and helps you metabolise bad fat. Cocao, the purest form of chocolate without any added sugars is packed with anti-oxidants and carob, a relatively new ingredient for me, has many health benefits including being low in fat and high in fibre. I love this granola sprinkled on a protein shake in the morning, on gluten free

Ali’s Soy and Ginger Butterfly Chicken

I love what I do. One of my clients recently said to me "It's like I've been transformed, just like a butterfly, and am emerging into the light. I've grown wings and am about to fly. I feel so different and it's all thanks to you". Who wouldn't love what they did when they got to work with people on major transformations which had them feeling this good. I love working with clients and encouraging them to try new things, experimenting with new tastes and flavours. This Butterfly chicken (i know the picture isnt butterflied!) was one such experiment I did when I was teaching a client how to eat

Ali’s Super Green Juice

I love a green juice mid-morning or mid-afternoon if I’m feeling like I need a break in the office or am just back from a dog walk. They seem to pick me up and provide a spring to my step. All that green goodness is a real energy boost. Although I’ve added so many greens I like to get a scoop of the Arbonne Greens Balance in there too as it has a broad spectrum of fruits and veg in it so you’re getting much more than your single 1 portion. It’s also super alkalsying to your digestive system too which I love. If you’re having a Green Juice post a workout why not add a scoop or two of pure Vegan

Coconut Protein Pancakes you won’t believe are Gluten Free

I’ve been experimenting with gluten free American style pancakes for ages. The mixture was either too thick to cook all the way through or so runny it became a flat pancake rather than a fluffy American style. These are pretty much perfect in every way. Packed with protein, vitamins and minerals, due to the addition of a plant based protein powder, they are super delicious. They make a perfect breakfast or brunch and would double up as a treat for pudding too. Enjoy Ingredients: 50g coconut flour 1 ½ tea spoon bicarbonate of soda 2 scoops Arbonne Essentials Vanilla Protein Powder (20g protein)

Sweet Potato Pea Fritters

When I first suggested these as a brunch snack Mr H looked a little perplexed. I don’t know what he was expecting but they turned out much better than either of us anticipated. They are little dollops of yummy-ness on a plate. I like to serve them with a green salad, salad leaves or watercress, when in season. Half a sliced avocado and a poached egg on top really complete the dish. You could of course serve them with a dip as an appetiser before supper or as a mid-afternoon snack while entertaining friends. The choice is yours. All I ask if that you enjoy. Ingredients 30g frozen peas –

Ali’s Beetroot Hummus

I love beetroot but no one else in the Hutchinson house will touch it. I’ve tried adding it to smoothies, chocolate brownies, soups but they still detect it so I’ve now given up and have to eat a whole bunch to myself. Shame! This beetroot hummus recipe came out of necessity. I had cooked some beetroot that had arrived in our organic box but had far more than I needed so was wondering what to do with it. Making a batch of hummus for the following week is often a weekend task so I just put the two together and hey presto you have the most delicious, amazing coloured hummus you can imagine

Ali’s vanilla Fudge Protein bars

Oh these little bars of heaven are oh so good. When I first made them they were devoured within minutes so if I want to keep them for more than a few days I have to double the batch ingredients (which fits in my tin better too) and pop them in the freezer, ideally with a label no one can read but me! They are super easy to make and because they are 'no bake' you could even get your kids making them. It's amazing how much easier they'll eat home made bars if they had a hand in the making of them. And because these are super tasty they'll want to share them with their friends too. Ingredients 11

Ali’s Superfood Protein Bars

I love a refined sugar free protein bar that is also gluten free and these are just one of my best inventions. Not only are they packed with protein and super foods but they are super tasty – they’ll keep for a week in an airtight container (if you’re lucky) – they never last that long in our house! Give them a try and let me know what you think. Ingredients ½ cup quinoa flakes ½ cup gluten free oats ground into flour ½ cup Arbonne vanilla protein powder A pinch pink Himalayan Salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup

Ali’s Gluten Free Flour blend

I use this gluten free flour recipe for everything from thickening gravies and sauces to home baking. It’s a perfect combination which I love and it seems to work just like normal flour in almost all of my recipes. Ingredients 125g Brown rice flour 125g Sweet white sorghum flour 175g Tapioca flour 175g Cornflour 175g Potato starch 75g buckwheat flour Directions Mix all the flours together and store in an airtight container. This works really well as a plain flour. If a recipe calls for self raising flour simply add baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. I sometime add a little psyllium husk
