Want to eat healthier and exercise more but find it difficult to focus on your nutrition and workout routine when there’s so much other stuff going on in your life? You’re not alone! So many of us lead busy lives today that it can be hard to put yourself first (even when you know you …
Struggling to get the children to eat their veggies? One great way to get them interested is to get them helping out in the garden. My 3-year-old loves putting on a pair of gloves, digging in the dirt, planting seeds, checking on her plants and watering them. It’s no guarantee they’ll eat what you grow, …
For those of us with health and fitness goals, many of us at some point or another have tried to follow a meal plan of sorts. Typically this gets off to a great start but somewhere between the 1 to 6 week-mark we fall off the bandwagon and have difficulty roping it back in. Sounds …

When it comes to sweet treats I believe in everything in moderation, though typically I’m a bake from scratch kinda girl which enables me to have full control over the ingredients I’m putting into my food. However, I do acknowledge that some people like the simplicity and speed of using packet mixes. This isn’t something …
You’ll likely recognise Art Green thanks to his appearance on a certain popular Kiwi reality show, however, he’s also the co-owner of CleanPaleo, a Kiwi company that creates delicious and nutritious whole food products (their CoGo bites are crazy good!). I caught up with Art to chat about paleo food, the beginnings of CleanPaleo, and …
I have a complete obsession with dates. My previous experiences with them were limited to the occasional date loaf or a batch of date scones, but thanks to the bliss ball craze (otherwise referred to as wholefood balls), my interest in them has been reinvigorated and now I can’t get enough of them.

If you asked me five years ago about my thoughts on healthy eating, it would be a rather different answer compared with today. My food philosophy nowadays has nothing to do with how much kale you can include in your diet (I can’t stand the stuff), whether you should substitute bready pizza bases for ones …
Between personal training, teaching, studying, chasing around after my 11-month-old, running our household, and general life, I’m pretty time poor when it comes to meal preparation. But ensuring that my family has healthy food on the table is one of my top priorities so it’s important to me that I make it work. Evenings are …
