You know I am all about the cake and sweet treats. 

In fact I hopefully have another ebook coming out in April dedicated to sweet treat snacks that are all sugar-free and DIVINE! Things like sticky toffee muffins, after eight chocolate slices and much more.

But a girl cannot live off cake alone. I mean obviously I have tried but it didn’t cut it health wise. And FYI you can still be addicted to natural sugars. (I realised this after binging on medjool dates cover in almond butter…)

So I am going to even out the balance and share with you some delightful dinner options that are going to help you heal and THRIVE!

And I have to say meatballs are one of my MOST favourite things. I love beef and could honestly eat these are day long and here is why:

• Great source of b12 – this is essential for energy and healing and there is not plant based source of this.
• Omega 3 fatty acids – again super helpful to REDUCE inflammation and most of us are deficient
• Selenium – essential for happy thyroid function, skin and way more!
• Zinc – needed for happy and strong immune system and strong nail etc.

Plus so much more.

Meat = Happy body*

I am putting it out there again. I eat meat and love red meat. I choose organic high-quality stuff but I love to eat it and it has been an important part of my healing journey. Yes the mainstream meat industry is pretty horrific, cruel and unnecessary and obsessed with genetically enhances, drugged up, hormone pumped chicken breast but that is not the only choice we have.

*ethical reasons aside, not eating meat can also be a moral and ethical issues but I am talking about this from a purely physical nutritional point of view – I 100% understand why people become vegan or vegetarian – I tried it myself for a while but it complicated and increased my digestive issues.
