Sorry for the radio silence! Between studying for fellowship and moving, I’ve barely had time to function this year.
Now, I know this is not my normal kind of recipe, but if these make dinner easy and delicious for anyone else who’s busy like me then I’ll be happy!
These enormous turkey wings were cooked in my brand new oven, and what can I say, I’m impressed!

Banana bites, doo-doo doo-doo-doo. (It’s a Muppet joke, sorry).
These tasty morsels are deliciously moreish, full of fibre and make for a satisfying snack that’s easy to hide in my scrub pocket!
Ingredients (makes 12)
Method
If you like them a little sweeter, try adding 2 tbsp maple syrup into the mix, or experiment by adding some chopped dates or raw dark chocolate – yum!
It’s only cold here for about 3 months of the year, which means there are 12 weeks of prime-pumpkin-porridge-tasting time to be enjoyed!
Ingredients (serves 2)
Method
Tip: The most time-consuming part is roasting the pumpkin. So, roast a large pumpkin early in the week so that there’s plenty on hand to make porridge whenever you fancy!
I know, it sounds ridiculous, but trust me, it works! The trick is to use a granola that’s nut-based and doesn’t contain added refined sugars.

Most of the “Nicecream” recipes circulating at the moment have more than the recommended daily intake of fruit and sugar in just one serving. Eating 7 bananas may be good for the potassium levels, but I have found that having a sugar dense meal for breakfast is a sure fire way to give me a fatigue slump just before lunch.
I think that “Banana Nicecream” is a brilliant idea though, and I’ve made an alternative version before using greek yogurt (see my Nicecream with coconutty granola page!). However, I’ve now discovered you can get an even more brilliantly thick and creamy consistency by using one of my old favourites – chia seed pudding! Simply blend the pudding with a single frozen banana for a deliciously cold, thick, creamy and not overly sugary breakfast treat!
Almond and Cacao Nicecream
Ingredients
– 1/3 cup chia seeds
– 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
– 1 frozen banana
– 2 tablespoons plain protein powder
– 1 tablespoon Mayvers food almond, cacao and coconut spread (or alternatively, 1/2 tablespoon cacao powder and a small handful of raw almonds)
Method
1. Mix the chia, milk and protein powder until well combined. Set overnight in the fridge.
2. Blend the pudding with the rest of the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Top with whatever takes your fancy – I’ve used date, cinnamon and walnuts!
Green Peanutty Nicecream
Ingredients
– 1/3 cup chia seeds
– 1 cup soy milk
– 1 frozen banana
– 1 tablespoon peanut butter
– 2 tablespoons plain protein powder
– 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
– 1 frozen banana
Method
1. Mix the chia, milk and protein powder until well combined. Set overnight in the fridge.
2. Blend the pudding with the rest of the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Dress with berries of your choice (I’ve chosen goji berries here).
Spinach and Cacao Nicecream
Ingredients
– 1/3 cup chia seeds
– 1 cup coconut milk
– 2 tablespoons plain protein powder
– 1 tablespoon cacao
– 1 frozen banana
– 1/4 cup spinach
Method
1. Mix the chia, milk and protein powder until well combined. Set overnight in the fridge.
2. Blend the pudding with the rest of the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If it’s not sweet enough for your palate, add a pinch of stevia and blend again until combined. Garnish with nuts and seeds – my recommendation is walnuts and pepitas!
The recipe for these bliss balls was an experiment for a Mayver’s Food competition on Instagram. They turned out spectacularly well, and I’m stoked that I’ve found a delicious new pre-workout snack!
