Mix ‘n Match Super Salad

Raw food is considered by many to be the healthiest way to eat food.

And in summer, and particularly, on those days where the temperatures soar, I find turning a salad into a stand alone meal in itself is a great way to eat.

It's also a fabulous way to stay in shape over the Summer months!

We hope you enjoy this unique recipe with a twist. Rather than spelling out all the exact ingredients as we normally would in our recipe of the month, we give you a number of options and let your imagination run free to create new and wonderful combinations. Thus we have called it a mix'n match super salad!

Then top off the salad with this fabulous "Honey Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette" recipe that you will just love!

Recipe for Divine Raw Chocolate

Healthy Raw Chocolate

I am not sure how long this keeps as it never lasts more than a few days at our house. The beauty of this recipe is that you cannot eat more than a square or two at one time as it packed with nutrients.

This is not a super sweet recipe – nor is it rich - It turns out like a very creamy ‘milk’ chocolate and melts in your mouth. 

Play around with the quantities of agarve and cacao powder for sweetness or intensity of flavour.

Delicious Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Zucchini Chocolate Cake you may ask. No, we haven't lost our mind - but we certainly got your attention.

Low Fat Pizza on Sorj Bread

Low Fat Pizza
This is a great meal for a change. Because this pizza is made with flat bread and only a fairly small amount of reduced fat pizza cheese, it has far less carbohydrate and fat than a shop bought pizza yet it is still very yummy.

Everyone loves it! Be sure to use a reduced fat/low fat flat bread and wholemeal or rye rather than white.
