Healthy Sweet Potato Fries

A delicious snack or sophisticated side, these healthy sweet potato fries are so simple to make and waaay healthier than the regular version! We all know that sweet potatoes are good for us (fibre, low GI carbs, vitamin A, antioxidants etc etc), but sweet potato fries? Not so much. Thanks to being deep fried and usually accompanied by some kind of high fat, salt laden dipping sauce, they go straight into the ‘sometimes food’ category 🙁

But don’t despair sweet potato fry lovers, I’ve got a healthy version for you that is just as good (maybe even better*)! Tossed in extra virgin olive oil and lightly spiced before being baked and topped with goat’s cheese, these fries aren’t just a whole lot tastier than your usual sweet potato fry, they also totally belong in the ‘everyday food’ category!

*I’d say definitely better

The Perfect Breakfast: Homemade Toasted Muesli

muesliMuesli is one of the best breakfasts going around. Its got plenty of low GI carbohydrates and fibre thanks to the oats and dried fruit, plus protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds – everything you want in a super healthy breakfast.

But while muesli tastes great, there’s something about the crunchiness of toasted muesli which is even better. Unfortunately, commercially made toasted muesli is usually full of added sugar, fat and salt – not exactly the basis of a healthy breakfast. But this doesn’t mean you have to go back to the raw stuff.

Making your own toasted muesli is not only amazingly satisfying, it also means you can add in all your favourite ingredients and you know exactly what’s in it. Plus, you can make up a big batch to last you a few weeks – an activity guaranteed to leave you feeling virtuous on a Sunday afternoon. [Read More…]
