RECIPES
Creating recipes has been something I have been doing most of my life. I really love to know what ingredients I am consuming and where they come from.
My recipes are based on whole food dietary principles, ingredients are all for the benefit of good health and wellness. I believe that recipes taste so much better with seasonal and ripe ingredients that are full of nutrients especially when it comes to my sweet dishes.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Sarah's Chia Jam
Serves 2
4 very ripe bananas (frozen)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1 - 2 tablespoons of milk of choice. (I use almond milk)
Method
Freeze the bananas chopped. Then simply put the chopped banana into a blender or food processor, add the peanut butter, vanilla essence and milk. Blend until combined.
This can be served immediately or you can freeze it for another occasion.

Sarah’s Banana and Peanut Butter Ice Cream
Serves 2
2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup cacao
1/3 cup melted dark chocolate chips
4 tablespoons of almond milk (you can use other milk)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup of maple syrup
4 medjool dates (pitted)
Method
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Decorate as you wish and serve. I decorated mine with edible flowers but nuts, desiccated coconut, berries or dried fruit could work as well.
Little tip - If the dates aren't really soft, soak them in boiling water for 5-10 minutes and let the chocolate cool a little before using. I have used the chocolate without melting but you just need to blitz longer.

Blueberry smoothie
I always make my own dressings and never purchase dressings as most of them are full
of sugar.
My dressing consists of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, himalayan salt and cracked fresh pepper.
I often will add turmeric to high quality cottage cheese when having snacks.
