Travel hack alert ‼️

Sure it may have been pure luck, but these core supplements certainly helped to maximise my experience while traveling in Peru.

Mushroom matrix: Contains high dose Shiitake, Codyceps, Reishi, Maitake, Turkey Tail, Poria and Tremella. Not only did this supplement prevent me getting sick, but I also didn’t experience altitude sickness or jet lag. I also use this product to treat HSV/HPV, autoimmune conditions, fatigue, cardiovascular disease, allergies, insulin resistance and to support clients alongside cancer treatment.

High dose B vitamins: Some B vitamins are smelly which can deter mosquitos from biting. I spent a week in the Amazon and walked away without a single bite. I also had great energy levels as B vitamins are also ‘energy ingredients’ for a chemical reaction pathway called methylation. When I worked in the hospital I would frequently administer Pabrinex (high dose B vitamin infusion) to prevent fatal alcohol withdrawal symptoms - the smell is very distinctive!

🌻 B E E T R O O T B R O W N I E R E C I P E🌻

Now by recipe I mean, spontaneous, ingredients tossed in my NutriBullet, barely measured, healthy baking alternative, fast and easy…

Ingredients:
- 1x beetroot peeled and steamed to partially soft.
- 150g dark chocolate melted
- 100g butter, softened (or 1/4 cup macadamia oil to make it dairy free)
- 200ml vitasoy protein plus milk
- 3 large eggs (or flax eggs if vegan)
- 2x scoops rice protein powder (Nothing Naughty)
- 1x scoop pea protein (I used nothing naughty chocolate)
- 1/2 cup carob, cacao or cocoa powder
- 1x cup buckwheat flour (I am gluten free, whole meal flour can also be used)
- 1 teaspoon xanthan (or baking powder)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1x teaspoon of vanilla essence
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Method:
- Combine softened beets, chocolate, soy milk and butter in a blender, blend, adjusting consistency as desired.
-In a bowl, combine, flour, proteins, eggs, vanilla, salt, xanthan, baking soda and cacao.
- Add blended mix and stir to combine all.
- Pour into a greased dish and cook at 180 degrees Celsius. Not overcooking is essential for a fudgey finish, don’t bother with a skewer, allow the top to cook and harden, total cook time for approx 25 minutes.

This brownie is thick, fudgey, rich, high protein, and low in sugar/carbs.

Nutrition per whole mixture:
- 70-75g protein (standard brownie 10-15g)
- 150g carbs (standard brownie recipes contain 400-600g)
- 20g fibre (< 5g per whole brownie)

If you have a large enough blender you can also add all the ingredients into a blender for a faster prep.

You can also add some tofu, cinnamon, frozen raspberries for extra protein and flavour. I also don’t add any extra sweeteners, but you can add honey or coconut sugar as desired (note the batter is well sweetened with dark chocolate).

Winner winner fish for dinner? 🐟

🥇Sardines: Highest combined EPA/DHA 1400mg, 12g protein, 150mg calcium, cheapest. Only con of course is that they are little fish, to combat this mix with hummus for a dip to eat with veggie sticks or have on toast.

🥈Salmon: 600mg EPA/DHA, 10g protein. Cons expensive and farmed. An alternative is tinned salmon (wild caught, claim to be sustainably sourced).

🥉 Tuna: 98mg EPA/DHA, 18g protein. Cons high mercury, low omega 3, often combined with cheap seed oils.

You might want to protect your brain but fish isn’t for you. Fish oil softgels or Algae oil are an option. Ensure to source high quality products tested for heavy metals (mercury), sustainably sourced, and therapeutic quantities in a bioavailable form (triglycerides). It’s important to calculate the EPA/DHA totals as they often add alternative oils that don’t have the benefits of omega 3.

PM me if you have any questions or wanting to purchase fish oil supplementation 🌻

Want to avoid pharmaceutical medicines? Indulge in colourful nutrient dense foods everyday! These foods contain phytonutrients such as polyphenols, flavonoids, sulforaphane, that protect your body from disease🥦🍅🥕🥑🍓🥝

Should you be taking supplements for the rest of our life? Ideally not… nutrients should come from the diet. Yes I might put you on some short term therapeutic dosed supplements to treat a deficiency, or heal your gut (so it can absorb nutrients better), but then I want you getting those nutrients from your food long-term.

Bon appetite, flick me a message if your interested in any of these recipes ✨
