Healthy Snack Ideas


If you enjoy savory snacks then you'll love these!  

Kale chips make a quick, healthy & nutritious alternative to potato chips but today I tried roasted garbanzo beans (chickpeas) for the first time.

Rinse the beans to remove the starchy coating


  Spread them on a baking sheet & pat dry



 Drizzle with olive oil & stir to coat all the beans


 I also washed and dried kale. Roast at 325F for around 15-20 minutes for the kale & 385F for around 30 minutes for the beans




Then I added a little salt but you could use any seasoning you prefer. Enjoy!

5 Steps to Your Best 'Detox' Ever!



Happy New Year!  Are you one of the many people lamenting how much you consumed over the Holidays?  Are you vowing this year will be different and you're going to eat only healthy food all year long?

Welcome to the Season of cleanses & detox diets.  These are often associated with deprivation, cutting out entire food groups, drinking strange concoctions of cabbage water & cayenne pepper and.......failure.

So why am I as a Registered Dietitian taking part in Arbonne International's 30 Days to Fit program?  Because flooding your body with nutritious, unprocessed food & supplementing with carefully selected botanical extracts will help your body's natural detoxifying systems do their job!

I tried Arbonne's 30 Days to Fit Program when I first became an Arbonne Consultant as I wanted to experience it myself before offering it to others.  It's designed around regular, unprocessed meals with portion sizes which are in line with the most recent government guidelines, such as half your plate being fruits & vegetables, plus addition of Arbonne's Fit Essentials products really did make me feel more energized!

By taking you back to nutrition basics it allows you to push the re-set button on your diet & many clients  report weight loss & loss of inches but it's the loss of sugar cravings and energy slumps that are the real benefits! Get rid of those obstacles & you can finally, successfully make those dietary changes you always wanted to make.

When you place an order you'll receive access to the online Guide plus contact me via Facebook  for membership to a Private Facebook Group providing additional information & support.
