FODMAP Friendly Creamy Oats
Today’s recipe is for my go-to bowl of FODMAP Friendly Creamy Oats. The original jungle oats work perfectly in this recipe, however, if you are celiac please use gluten-free oats instead. I myself can eat Jungle Oats without experiencing any bloating or pain. What are FODMAPs? Put simply, FODMAP’s are a collection of short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that aren’t absorbed properly in the gut, which can trigger symptoms in people with IBS.

Milk Tart Chia Pudding
Today’s recipe is for my ultimate breakfast / dessert hybrid Milk Tart Chia Pudding. Milk Tart is an Afrikaans dessert consisting of a sweet pastry crust containing a custard filling made from milk, flour, sugar and eggs. For this recipe, we take those flavours and incorporate them into a breakfast that is sure to be a crowd pleaser this Christmas. What’s better than a sweet chia pudding for breakfast you ask – well how about a Milk Tart Chia Pudding that tastes like the real deal but is gluten free and vegan? For this recipe, I purchased my ingredients (cinnamon, chia, nutmeg, vanilla) from the Zero Waste Store The Refillery. …

Healthier Strawberry Pops Cereal
Have you ever wanted to make your own Healthier Strawberry Pops Cereal? Today I show you how to make Gluten-Free Strawberry Pops, using puffed rice, acai powder, strawberry essence and a little bit of sweetness. When my siblings and I were little, we would very rarely be allowed to eat sugary cereals. I even remember feeling guilty at nursery school because my teacher allowed me to make a Fruit Loop necklace and gasp – EAT IT TOO! When we were given sugary cereals like Strawberry Pops, Cocoa Pops and Fruit Loops, my parents would buy those small little boxes for us to ensure we didn’t overindulge. My sister and I…
