Categories: Really REALLY Simple Recipes

My husband and I have been on a mammoth training exercise for 4 months now in preparation for Australia’s toughest endurance event – The Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge.

The idea of food as medicine excites me. The thought that every day we can choose to put in our mouths or take into our bodies substances that can add to our ability to live our lives as fully and vibrantly as we possibly can is exhilarating! We can go to our fridge or our [...]

My Favourite Three Ingredient Salad

Written by Susan on March 17, 2010 - 2 Comments
Categories: Really REALLY Simple Recipes

If you haven’t already picked up on this – I’m rather lazy. I don’t cook. I like things I can bung together in under 5 minutes. I like simple flavours full of freshness and natural seasoning.

Talk about simple! These green wraps are a great substitute for traditional sandwiches. I once heard bread referred to as “bum glue” by a naturopath so if you’re wanting to reduce your carbohydrate intake, these are a brilliant, yummy and utterly healthy idea. Very satisfying too.

Seriously. That’s it. Chop it. Slice it. Mash it if you like. Soak the dates if that turns you on. Eat it. Spoon, fork or fingers. It’s yum. It’s vibrant. It’s healthy. Try it. Did I mention yummy?
