Spinach Pesto

Neema Savvides | Fertility Nutrition

Soooo, I could eat pesto all day everyday, on everything.  As I’ve been feeling slightly run down recently (the cold dark nights might have something to do with it.  I just don’t do well in Winter), I decided to add some spinach to my usual pesto recipe for a much needed iron and energy boost. What a… Read more »

Raspberry Protein Smoothie

Neema Savvides | Fertility Nutrition

My go-to protein smoothie is usually chocolate based, so making this raspberry based one was a welcomed change. This is a great post workout smoothie as the banana (carbohydrate) helps the body to absorb the protein powder more efficiently. Having protein with every meal and snack is really important to help balance blood sugar levels,… Read more »

Hold the front door.  I’ve long been a fan of courgetti (spirals of courgette used as a pasta/noodle substitute for those of you living under a rock), but butternut squash noodles are new to me, and I have no idea why because they are bloomin’ lovely.

Soba Noodle Salad with a Peanut Dressing

Neema Savvides | Fertility Nutrition

I always find noodles to be a touch heavy, and as I try to avoid wheat based products, I tend to avoid them.  Soba noodles have recently become a firm staple in my larder.  These noodles are made from buckwheat flour and are therefore wheat free (although always double check the packaging as some naughty brands mix the buckwheat… Read more »

Warm Winter Smoothie – High Protein Hot Chocolate

Neema Savvides | Fertility Nutrition

Smoothies are always more fun in the summer and somehow lose their appeal during the colder weather. In the Winter I prefer something warm and comforting – usually eggs, oats and healthy pancakes fit the bill here, however I have been experimenting lately with warm smoothies. This way I can still get all the benefits… Read more »
