PCOS Friendly

Every year the number of women & girls being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) increases.  Diet can definitely play a big part in relieving some symptoms and to start the healing process.

Like most conditions & diets there is a multitude of advice on the internet, and even differing advice from medical practitioners and nutritional experts.  We suggest working with someone that completely believes that different diet changes could really help with your condition and be able to set clear guidelines for you.

PCOS is a very personal condition, and this is one of the reasons we've created Well for One.  This section is full of delicious, healthy recipes for one that comply with PCOS's food guidelines.

Serves 2. Your cravings will be met! Healthy oven-baked fish with a spiced coconut crumb. Featured in our e-Book Eat Clean Dirty Food. This recipe has zero wheat, gluten & dairy and less oil & salt.
2 Serves. Chimichurri is a delicious South American sauce that goes with most proteins. Its flavour is punchy and robust and adds some green goodness to your dishes.
2 Serves. The prawns have a quick lime, garlic & chilli marinade & only take minutes to cook. Serve in lettuce cups for a low-carb option, or add in some of our homemade (or store-bought) almond tortillas.
2 Serves. From the e-Book Eat Clean Dirty Food. You are going to love this clean & lean version of Pad Thai. Pad Thai can be a great choice when you're ordering take out, and it ticks a lot of the GF, DF & clean eating boxes. However, like most restaurants that's not always the focus and you will find too much oil, salt, artificial flavours. TIP: We like to add extra vegetables like some finely sliced broccolini which will cook at the same time as the other veg.
2 Serves. Recipe from the Eat Clean Dirty Food e-Book. The freshest most delicious nachos and, you will boost your veggie intake without even realising it! We've replaced the corn chips with roasted potato slices. Topped them with a beef & bean sauce that's full of veggies. With the special addition of avocado, coconut yoghurt, coriander leaves & a squeeze of lime - yum! TIP: Baked sweet potato rounds are also delicious.
One serve. Recipe from the new Eat Clean Dirty Food e-Book. Easy, delicious, filling & healthy!
2 Serves. Recipe from the new Eat Clean Dirty Food e-Book! These glorious pancakes are wheat-free, gluten-free & dairy-free. Using cassava flour is a saviour for wheat-free baking and we've dedicated a lot of time into making these little pancakes taste awesome! Follow the recipe notes for pancake perfection! Cassava is a root vegetable/tuber, so it ticks most of the boxes when it comes to intolerances & allergies. It does have a stronger flavour than wheat flour and adding maple, honey, coconut & fruit work well.
2 Serves. From the new Eat Clean Dirty Food recipe e-book. Deliciously easy takeaway & fast food recipes all wheat & dairy free. NOTE: Low Carb, Paleo & Keto friendly swap out rice for cauliflower rice. Swap out prawns with any other protein.
This coconut porridge is a great oatmeal base that you can top with anything you like. TIP: You can use any preferred type of plant milk. The coconut milk does give an extra creaminess but it can become quite thick while cooking & you may need more water.
2 Serves. As a gluten-free & wheat-free website, we love the different "pasta" options available so that you can still enjoy a delicious bowl of pasta! For this recipe we’ve used a Pulse Pasta which was a combination of peas, lentils, chickpeas & borlotti beans and it works so well with the earthy flavours of the Greek salad. TIP: Swap out the goat’s cheese for hummus for a dairy-free & vegan option.
2 Serves. This one-pan Spanish dish is often eaten with bread. However, we've added chicken to our dish to boost it into a more hearty meal. In saying that, the vegan option minus the chicken is just as good. TIP: Add 1/4 tsp chilli powder at the same time as the paprika to heat things up a bit.
2 Serves. Delicious as a full meal, or team this warm salad with a protein of your choice. TIP: Change the dressing herb to any one of your favourites, or check out our Dressings section for many other options. NOTE: For AIP swap out the potato for extra sweet potato, carrots or sprouts.
2 Serves. These little pork & mushrooms meatballs are full of flavour & extremely delicious! We've added a spicy slaw, instead of a creamy slaw, and kept this dish fresh with herbs & chilli. TIP: If you're avoiding grains or carbs, swap out the brown rice for some large lettuce leaves or one of our Almond Meal Flatbreads.
Poke Bowls, also called rice bowls, are a really delicious, healthy and easy dish to put together. If you can source a good quality sashimi-grade salmon, serving the salmon raw is an amazing option too. We’ve got lots of different recipes for poke, salad & rice bowls. Mix them up with different proteins & different dressings and you’ll never get bored. TIP: Adding herbs is a great way to boost the nutritional value of a dish. Pick the ones you enjoy eating most.
This spiced yoghurt is delicious & will match most proteins. The chicken does require at least 30mins marinating time if you want the flavours infused. A great recipe to prep the night before so you are guaranteed the flavour hit. TIP: Chicken can be sliced for a quick stovetop cook. Serve with any preferred vegetables, plus you can swap out cauli rice for any type of rice.
Another easy traybake dinner. Dukkah is usually available in the spice section of your supermarket and is a really easy way to add lots of flavour to your dish. TIP: Cooking times may change depending on how thick your piece of salmon is. We've taken the skin off, however it's up to you if you want to leave it on.
What always makes a salad great is the dressing flavours. This one has a quick pickle dressing for the carrot & cucumber. Then a punchy, spicy dressing for the entire salad. Delish! TIP: You can always add more chilli!!
A mix of warm ingredients with salad is always a delicious dish. Add in a gorgeous dressing and you have a meal that will definitely satisfy. TIP: We love a mix of brown rice and quinoa, however either one on its own is also delicious. Also, visit our dressings section to change up the dressing. Honey Mustard or Spicy Thai dressings - yum!
These are a great way to satisfy a sweet craving. You only need half an apple for the filling, so you could make 2... it will keep unfilled for a few days (if you can stop yourself!!)
Cauliflower is a great carrier food. Meaning the flavour profile is low, so you can add lots of different flavours and it will taste great. We've served these fritters with a soft boiled egg, avo & chilli flakes. However, almost anything goes, bacon, guacamole, roasted tomatoes, roasted veggies... the list goes on. TIP: Cauli does hold water - see our notes on how to improve your fritters shape.
A Mexican dish with a Cajun twist. Using a Cajun spice mix for the chicken is so delicious & easy. However, you could also use a Mexican spice mix for equally amazing results. We've used our AIP soft wraps for this one, which are nut-free. However, we have a few different wraps / flatbreads on the website that you could use for taco night! NOTE: AIP followers - instead of a spice mix, coat the chicken in some onion powder, a pinch of garlic powder & salt. TIP: Always choose a clean spice mix, preferably organic. You do usually have to source them out from health food stores, delis etc. Alternatively you could easily make you own.
Egg Roll or Omelette Rolls are so quick and easy in the mornings. You can fill them with so many different things - goat's cheese, tomatoes, leftover roasted veggies, herbs etc..
2 Serves. Rice Bowls – we love them! Eating healthy can be simple, and mixing up the flavours is the key to keep enjoying healthy food so you don’t get bored. It only takes a few minutes to make this marinade for the chicken. Then we cook the leftover marinade and make a sauce to finish the dish. Delish!! We’ve kept the salad simple with a few ingredients, however, you could add any of your favourite salad or cooked vegetables. TIP: Having cooked portions of rice in the freezer is a great way to ensure you’re eating healthy grains & it cuts cooking time. You could also use quinoa, white rice if you prefer, or mix brown rice and quinoa together (that’s a favourite!).
Looking after our AIP members is always something we work hard at. Cassava flour replaces almond meal, which we use in most of our other wraps. These wraps are a big delicious tick for anyone!! TIP: AIP remember to use guar gum-free coconut milk. Ayam is a great brand in Australia and easily available.
Soup for one can be an easy, light meal. This one is really delicious too. TIP: Vegetable weights are a guideline only. If you have larger veggies just add a little more stock.
Easy Peasy Cake in a Mug & of course it's full of healthy ingredients! TIP: Most of the carb count here is from the maple syrup, swap it out for a different sweetener if you need too.
Need a cake, chocolate, or cake & chocolate fix? This mug cake comes in at 246 calories, and is full of healthy ingredients! TIP: Most of the carb count here is from the maple syrup, swap it out for a different sweetener if you need too.
Gorgeous as a warm salad, but you can also serve all the ingredients as a cold salad. Change or add salad ingredients of your choice, like carrot, capsicum... etc. TIP: Marinating the chicken is a step you can skip if you are in a hurry. It does add that extra layer of flavour, however the dressing packs a big enough punch.
Fritters are the bomb! The roasted tomatoes are definitely worth doing as they create a gorgeous sauce that matches the dish so deliciously. TIP: Tapioca/Arrowroot flour can be swapped out with chickpea, quinoa or buckwheat flour.
Burrito without the wrap! This gorgeous bowl ticks all the flavour boxes and you can make the beans as spicy as you like. TIP: Our salad bowls are always flexible for you to add whatever salad veggies you prefer.
A creamy, sweet and healthy breakfast that can be taken on the go. Full of protein, omega 3's, potassium and atioxidants and it's Vegan! Note: Allow at least 2 hours soaking time. Tip: Any soft berries will work in this recipe
2 Serves. We love veggie overload & we always add lots of flavour to make your dish delish. This one is 2 serves & the flavours will continue to infuse for another meal the following day. We’ve used Thyme as the herb to flavour the entire dish. It’s quite a strong herb so you’ll only need a small amount, and if you prefer you can swap it for another favourite herb. TIP: If you are looking for a carb boost add a small portion of brown rice or quinoa and mix it through the cauli rice – so yummy.
This is one of those dishes where you want to lick the plate clean, so many delicious flavours that all just work beautifully together. Tip: You can use other veggies on the side but we think the garlic and lemon flavours are the perfect flavour combo with this dish. Hint: You can leave out the white wine and just use extra stock. Note: We used semi-dried tomatoes but if using sun-dried you can soak them in the stock while cooking the chicken.
The acai berry is well known to be an antioxidant powerhouse fruit from South America. Acai Bowls are now quite a popular healthy breakfast or snack option. However, some of the popular brands used in cafes & restaurants can have added cane sugar. Making them at home using a brand that doesn't have added sugar is a great way to enjoy this easy & delicious breakfast bowl. TIP: Acai is not a sweet fruit. Adding banana & a little coconut water can raise the sweetness to just the right level.
Overnight oats are great for those of us that don't have a lot of time in the mornings. This combination of crisp apple, crunchy walnuts and cinnamon brings to mind an iconic apple crumble. Tip: If you don't have almond milk any plant-based milk will work.
That little hit of ginger in the mushrooms takes this dish to new heights, so very yummy and very nutritious! Lots of good fats and healthy greens to get you started for the day.
A foccacia that is crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle and it's AIP approved!!! There is a bit of time invested in this bread but you will not be sorry, even the fussiest eaters will enjoy this. Note: Time shown does not include resting time for the dough. Tip: We love this on its own or topped with whatever your heart desires.
We've made our own roll for this recipe, it's super easy! Feel free to use your own favourite gluten-free roll but watch those additives and preservatives! Tip: The pattie is Vegan and will work on any bun or bread or even served on a plate with some salad. Hint: Use whatever salad ingredients you want, grated carrot would be a nice addition.
Blueberries are the great detoxifiers so that makes this smoothie the perfect start to your day. When you add in good fibre and healthy omegas with the addition of flax seed meal and chia seeds you're onto a winner! Tip: When using chia seeds it's a good idea to soak them first, we keep a small jar in the fridge with chia gel to save doing it every time.
An iconic flavour combination that just works, with added fibre and antioxidants it's a great way to start your day! Tip: When using chia seeds it's a good idea to soak them first, we keep a small jar in the fridge with chia gel to save doing it every time. Hint: The amount of ice cubes you use will depend on whether you use fresh or frozen fruits. We used all frozen fruit so didn't need to use any.
A good shot of espresso coffee in this smoothie to start your day! By adding coconut yoghurt you're getting the benefits of probiotics for good gut health. Tip: We added a scoop of our favourite vanilla protein powder but this is optional.
You don't need to make the sauce for this burger stack but trust us, you want to make this sauce! You will need a stick blender to make this amount but it is very easily multiplied to make a bigger batch. It will store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Tip: Switch the salad up to include whatever you like. Hint: An egg would be a pretty awesome addition to this burger.
Vegan cheese is super tasty and extremely versatile! The picture just shows one serving suggestion using fresh cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes and basil. This basic recipe for one serving can easily be made into 3 variations. Solid style for a cheese ball etc. Cream Cheese style for spreading or dipping and a Cheesy sauce. Tip: The prep time of 15 minutes includes the blending but the cashews do require soaking overnight. Also, see notes on recipe regarding blenders. Hint: See notes on recipe for variation ideas.
Salad bowls are an awesome way to get your extra veggie intake for the day. This delicious one is served with our gorgeous lime & honey dressing. TIP: You can pan-fry, grill, steam or bake the salmon.
This tasty little dish is our take on Greek Souvlaki. TIP: If your diet allows, you can swap out the coconut yoghurt for Greek yoghurt if preferred.
Most people love a good Caesar salad. This one is nicely balanced with a variety of ingredients, and it’s a great meal for keto lovers. TIP: Paleo & Dairy Free - we’ve got 3 variations of Caesar dressing in our sauces & dressing section. Options with coconut yoghurt & mayonnaise that can match other dietary requirements. This one is our no-mayo dressing.
The flavours of chilli, lime and garlic, a tender chicken thigh and a garlicky mayo served on a delicious Paleo roll with fresh salad. Too good!
This dish will fill you up, however if you’re feeling a little extra hungry team it with some more protein. i.e. another egg, smoked salmon or bacon. TIP: Makes 3 small fritters or just one larger one.
We love one pan dishes & this one is delish. The only extra step is the gremolata & you are going to love it. TIP: Basil can be swapped out with most soft herbs. Parsley is always a great herb for gremolata. Also, the little cherry tomatoes on the vine look great, however you can use a few loose cherry or grape tomatoes as well.
This easy dish is cooked on one pan in the oven. Gorgeous lemon, garlic & thyme flavours. TIP: We used lemon thyme which is much milder than savoury thyme but either one will taste great. However, savoury thyme is much stronger so you may want to use a little less. Also, the little cherry tomatoes on the vine look great but you can use a few loose cherry or grape tomatoes as well.
It's the old dip and crumb method for these guys but they're seriously worth it. They are best eaten right away but can be easily reheated. Tip: You can add whatever herbs and spices you like.
A dreamy creamy satay sauce may change the way you think of salad forever. TIP: Choose to use all of the herbs mixed together or just add the ones you prefer. Also, if you like your satay hot add some more chilli to the sauce.
A super easy meal put together in no time at all! Classic Asian flavours with a big hit of chilli. Hint: We love a good hot chilli but if you're not a fan just use 1/2 a milder long red chilli.
This vegan dish fits into many other categories and will even curb your carb cravings! TIP: There are many wheat-free pasta options available now and they are an awesome alternative. We chose Eco Organics Chickpea Fettuccine for this dish.
Bruschetta is one of those classic dishes that never gets old but it's not usually on the menu when you're following a keto diet. We've put it back on the menu with this keto-friendly microwave bread. Yum! TIP: We love Niulife balsamic vinegar for this recipe.
Crispy and delicious! They're also very versatile, fit into any meal of the day and they're totally portable, so think lunch box or picnic basket! Hint: Serve with an egg, small side salad or your favourite veggies. Tip: Don't have fresh herbs? You can use dried but be sure to only use 1/4 tsp of each.
This burger uses our almond meal roll with a simple beef pattie and fresh salad. The nett carbs come in really low for this one. TIP: This burger doesn’t need sauce, but if you're looking for a healthy option we have some awesome homemade ones is our Dressing & Sauces section.
A most traditional hummus except we’re using mostly water instead of oil for blending.
Great natural flavours in this san choy bau without the usual bottled sauce flavours added. There’s a lot of veggies in this dish but if you are feeling extra hungry add a small serve of brown rice. TIP: You could choose different types of mushrooms (see notes), use peanuts instead of cashews, use mint or basil instead of coriander or use cos lettuce instead of iceberg. The flavours will still be great.
Bread is one of the things most missed on a keto or paleo diet. This roll doesn't pretend to replace 'normal' bread but we think it's pretty amazing. Note: This recipe makes 1 medium-sized bread roll, perfect for a burger but is easily made into 2 or 3 smaller rolls for use as a side over 2 or 3 days. Tip: If you make them, the extra rolls are best stored in a brown paper bag and can be freshened up in the oven.
A cheesy flavoured tortilla without the dairy! This tortilla will totally surprise you, it's extremely flexible for a Paleo recipe, it won't crack or tear and it's crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. Topped with a creamy scramble packed full of vegetables it's totally delicious! Hint: A little sugar-free salsa would definitely take this up a notch!
Simple, quick and delicious. Everyone has time for an omelette in the morning! Tip: You are most definitely not limited to the vegetables we have used, any quick-cooking veg or leftover meat will work too! Hint: We used fresh thyme for a lovely fresh herb hit but you can use whatever you have on hand. If using dried herbs just a pinch will be plenty.
For a paleo recipe this tortilla has a whole lot of bend and very little break, it's super foldable and tastes great too! Not to mention it will literally go with anything. Tip: Fill it and fold as a soft taco shell or if you add a little extra water and spread it out a little more you can roll it up and use as a wrap.
Cinnamon is one of those spices that is just as nice in a savoury dish as it is in sweet ones. It pairs beautifully with this salmon and the buttery flavour of the ghee if you decide to use it just adds to the flavour. Note: For AIP use coconut oil.
Simple, light and delicious. The flavours in this dish complement the salmon so beautifully. Tip: You can use whatever vegetables you like, keeping in mind if you do so then the macros will change.
A very healthy version of a classic salad. It still retains all of the flavours and is so very delicious!
You've got to love a salad that's a complete meal! We love the crunch and sweetness of the apple, so good! Note: The Poached Chicken recipe is a great one to save in your favourites and the same method and cooking time will work for up to a 250g breast. Hint: Leftover roasted chicken will also work in this recipe.
It's light, fresh and zesty, it's a one-pan dish, but best of all, it's incredibly tasty! Hint: We served this with fresh greens but it's equally as good with mash or roasted vegetables.
A quick and easy lunch or dinner with a few simple ingredients that taste absolutely delicious! Tip: If you're not counting macros just change the vegetables to whatever you have on hand. Hint: Wombok cabbage will also work in this dish.
The goodness of Kimchi teamed up with a healthy version of fried rice using cauliflower. Super healthy for your gut and bags of flavour! Tip: You don't need the cucumber and tomatoes but it adds a lovely freshness to the dish and to make it vegan you can leave off the egg. Hint: If you don't like the spiciness of Kimchi you can substitute with Sauerkraut
Curry in a hurry! This dish is super easy and super quick to make but that doesn't mean you compromise on flavour because this dish has plenty of it! The rice is just a serving suggestion, If you would like to keep it low carb the curry is gorgeous just on it's own or with cauliflower rice.
Delicious bite-sized omelette rolls with a delicious flavour hit! Vegetarian or following a PCOS diet? Just leave out the ham or bacon, it's still a seriously delicious dish!
Smoked salmon, avo, fritters…it’s as delicious as it looks. TIP: The dressing is not compulsory with this dish, but the lemon & garlic with the smoked salmon give it such an extra flavour boost.
These fritters are flavoured lightly with delicious spices, taste fabulous, and are a super healthy way to get a big green intake. TIP: Quinoa flour can be swapped out for almond meal. Mint can be swapped or left out entirely. Still delicious!
We love bread for one. This bread is great for soups, sandwiches or burgers. TIP: Baking this free-form is much easier than in a ramekin (as per the photo). If you do want to use a ramekin make sure it’s greased really well and let the roll sit for a few minutes before removing as it may stick.
2 Serves. If you're not really into making big batch soups, this one is perfect, easy and will give you a nice 2 serves. It's flexible with the amount of pumpkin you have, just adjust your stock amount accordingly. TIP: See notes on making a thick soup. Plus using a good quality or homemade stock will make a huge difference in the flavour.
It's so easy to make this flat bread. After 5 mins in the oven you will have some nice soft dipping bread or a wrap. The longer it stays in the oven the crispier it gets. * Depending on your Paleo and Keto choices tapioca/arrowroot is a starch and may not belong on strict diets.
This is a great breakfast or brunch recipe, however we could eat this any time of the day! TIP: Grate the potato just prior to cooking to avoid going brown. The chives & dukkah really lift this dish, but they are optional. Just add a squeeze of lemon.
A super tasty veggie infusion into your diet. *Vegetarian option: Swap out fish sauce with a vegan fish sauce, or just add some more tamari and maybe a pinch more salt.
SO DELICIOUS! Beware of Addiction! TIP: The tapioca flour isn't compulsory. Using it makes the corn cakes a little less like an omelette & more like a pancake. You could also substitute the tapioca for chickpea or quinoa flour. Note & Reminder: Corn is gluten free, however it is still a grain. We chose organic corn for this dish.
This coconut yoghurt based dressing is thick, rich & gorgeous. It will easily go on your favourite dressings list. TIP: You can swap to Greek Yoghurt, and swap out coriander for mint or basil.
Sweet, Sour, Hot & Salty! Everything you look for in Asian cuisine. Pour this dressing over cucumber ribbons, julienne carrots, shredded cabbage, lettuce & lots and lots of fresh herbs! TIP: 1/4 a small red chilli will make a spicy dressing, but you can add as much as you want!
Sweet & Tangy. So easy to make and will compliment most salads.
What's better than a beautiful rich Ratatouille? A Baked version! We love this as a side but truthfully you can eat it straight out of the dish, it's that amazing! Tip: Get creative and mix the veggies up a little with squash or eggplant. Hint: You can use any sturdy herbs to flavour the oil or alternatively you could add dried herbs to the passata.
Something a little different in the salad section! It's super quick and easy and oh so delicious! Tip: We love it served in the wedges and placed in the pool of dressing but it would also work as a chopped salad. Hint: We used a variety of fresh basil, mint and parsley leaves but use whatever you have, chives would also work well. For the seeds, we chose sesame, black sesame and nigella but you could also use pepitas and/or sunflower seeds.
A quick, easy and very tasty salad! Note: If you can't tolerate dairy you can easily leave the goat's cheese off or use a vegan option.
Cream of Mushroom Soup is one of those recipes that has been around for generations, but we've tweaked it a little and our version is not only Vegan it fits in with most dietary protocols including AIP! Hint: We think this soup is perfect as is but if you don't want to thicken it with the tapioca flour you could try taking half the mixture out and blending it then combine back together. Tip: This is a light meal, if you want it to be more substantial you could add more mushrooms and sweet potato or serve with our AIP Garlic & Rosemary Foccacia.
A simple chicken stir-fry with a big hit of lemon that fits into pretty much every diet protocol including AIP. No need to stick to the vegetables we used, choose your favourites! Tip: If you want a thicker sauce you can use a little tapioca flour mixed in water and add at the end. Note: We used avocado oil in the marinade as olive oil is not recommended for cooking on the AIP diet and coconut oil will harden.
The AIP diet may not allow seed spices but there are many other ways of getting a big flavour impact! The combination of Turmeric, garlic, onion and lemon make this an extremely tasty dish and it's ready in 15 minutes! Hint: Add any other allowed salad vegetables you like. Tip: We used the pre-cooked beetroot available from the fruit & veg department in most supermarkets but if you prefer to cook your own we think roasted beetroot would taste amazing.
These fritters are too easy and seriously delish! To get a vegan fritter to hold together and taste great too is no easy task but that's exactly what you're getting! Tip: You can swap the fresh herbs for dried but just use the dried dill in the sauce. Hint: Chickpea flour is also known as Besan flour and is the sole reason for these holding together so well. The amount needed will depend entirely on how juicy your tomatoes are. See note on the recipe.
Make the most of the stone fruit season when it comes around by using them in everything! Peaches are almost always used in sweet dishes but they work so beautifully in this dish teamed up with chicken and gorgeous fresh thyme. Note: We finished this dish in the oven, for this, you will need an ovenproof frypan. Otherwise, you could cover and cook on the stovetop.
These Zucchini Tacos will be your new fave thing! They fold beautifully and hold together right to the last bite. Combined with garlic marinated prawns and a zesty lime and chilli dressing these tacos are right up there on the flavour scale! Note: There is a little bit of time involved in this dish but it's totally worth it.
Light spices, fresh herbs, sweet pomegranate & creamy yoghurt. This salad is delish. TIP: You can buy packaged brown rice & quinoa together which would be a great option for this dish. Alternatively, you could use all brown rice or all quinoa.
This is our take on traditional style devilled eggs and we love it!! Tip: We think the perfect texture for the yolk is a 5-6 minute boiled egg. Hint: These make the perfect lunchbox or picnic snack!
A yummy cheesy tasting sprinkle that works in place of Parmesan cheese that's vegan!
Great with most salads. Tip: you can swap out the honey for maple syrup or coconut sugar.
We have made this guacamole AIP friendly but don't think for a minute it doesn't taste great, because it does!! Sweet potato toast is one of those new trends that is here to stay if you haven't tried it yet give it a go!
Kaffir Lime is one of those aromas that is instantly recognisable. They are also readily available from most leading supermarkets and can be kept in the freezer for whenever you need them. Hint: if you don't want to dirty 2 pans just cook the cauli rice first then set aside and keep warm while you cook the chicken and bok choy. Tip: We used a mortar & pestle for the marinade as it gets a little better result but you can just chop everything very finely and use the back of a spoon to mash it up.
If you love tzatziki, this is a great dairy-free option. TIP: We like to use raw garlic in some of our dressings. If you're not a huge fan of raw garlic, maybe start with about a quarter of clove. Raw garlic has many health benefits, so try and add as much as you can!
Most people love Caesar Dressing. However, the bottled versions are full of additives, preservatives & other ingredients we don't know how to pronounce. Please note with our mayonnaise option below we've used a good store-bought mayo (always check your ingredients), however, we also have a homemade mayo recipe in this section. TIP: Anchovy fillets are a big part of where the Caesar dressing gets its flavour. We've only listed it as optional as it's a 50/50 on who actually likes them! If you're not using them, maybe add some extra mustard, lemon & salt to increase your flavours. Some pepper will work will too.
Any recipe that can be cooked in one pan is always a good one and when it tastes this amazing it goes straight onto the favourites list. Hint: The size of the sweet potato cubes will determine cooking time.
Such a simple marinade for chicken that only needs 10 minutes teamed up with a gorgeous but equally simple salsa. Definitely dinner taken care of in a hurry. Hint: Not following the autoimmune protocol? You can give the salsa a little extra kick by adding some chilli.
So beautifully simple and clean, served with steamed greens and a fresh wedge of lime the flavours are fresh and zesty. One of those simple mid-week dinners for when you don't have a lot of time. Note: The poaching liquid ingredients are not counted in macros as they are for flavour and won't be consumed however the poaching liquid is totally delicious and can be served as a soup with the chicken or on its own. Tip: The poaching method is the same for up to 2 whole chicken breasts so you can make some ahead for the next day.
This dish is a little decadent & purely designed for keto or low carb/high fat lovers. TIP: Dairy Free option - swap out the butter for coconut oil, it's still a great sage sauce.
Chicken with a creamy lemon & garlic sauce is delicious, extremely low carb & will be on your favourites list. TIP: This dish goes from stovetop to oven. Using a small ovenproof pan ensures you get lots of sauce at the end. See notes below.
Quick, simple and so very delicious, you will not want the flavours in this dish to end! Tip: Any steamed greens or other vegetables will work just as well.
If you like satay sauce this one's easy with all the healthy ingredients. We've got 2 options for serving raw or cooked. TIP: If peanuts are not part of your diet you can swap the peanut butter for almond or cashew. Also, fresh garlic can be swapped out for garlic powder.
A much lighter version of a classic Italian Linguine, we love the flavours in this dish, definitely one of those recipes to put on your favourites list! Hint: You can easily swap the coconut yoghurt for Greek yoghurt if dairy isn't an issue. Note: If you don't have a spiraliser you can make the noodles with a julienne/shark-style peeler
So easy and so versatile! Serve it on toast, crispbreads, sweet potato toast, or as a dip with your favourite vegetables or crackers.
Swapping out the toast for sweet potato slices is such a great idea and the fact you can actually cook it in the toaster means it's quick and super easy too! We took the avocado one step further by making it into guacamole but it's still yummy with just smashed avo. Hint: Don't like chilli? Swap it out with some diced tomato.
A quick and easy keto option when you're missing bread. It has a chewy texture similar to bread and works well for your favourite sandwich filling or toast it & top with your favourites like guacamole, hummus or as a bruschetta base! Hint: We used avocado oil but extra virgin olive oil is equally as good
This pesto is super quick and easy. We make it with a mortar and pestle due to the serving size and it makes 2 1/2 to 3 teaspoons. If you are making a larger amount you can use a blender. Hint: You don't need a fancy big mortar and pestle, any size and shape will do. Tip: Rather than toasting the pine nuts every time you can roast a batch and store them in a sealed jar in the fridge.
The perfect detox drink that's also one of our favourite coolers, the best thing on a hot Summer's day. Blueberries are known for being especially high in antioxidants and contain natural aspirin that helps lessen the tissue-damaging effects of chronic inflammation. Lemon and mint aid to detox the body, enhance hydration, have anti-cancer properties and support healthy weight loss Tip:You can use coconut water which will make this even more refreshing and add a little sweetness, but note, it is higher in carbs.

You can make these nuggets taste however you like simply by changing the spices! We've given you the Jamaican Jerk seasoning but use whatever you like.

Hint: Chicken thigh does work a little better with these as you can cook it longer without it drying out. Tip: Be sure to cook them at the higher heat to ensure they crisp up and the flour is cooked well.

This chicken develops more and more flavour the longer you let it marinate. In a hurry? Cook it right away, it's still amazing! The Apple Slaw is the perfect companion to this chicken, balancing the flavours out beautifully. Tip: If you slice the chicken first it will cut down on the cooking time.
A creamy and zesty chicken salad that just works. Yum! Hint: Our grapefruit weighed 300g whole. While preparing and dicing the grapefruit we ended up with enough juice on the board for the marinade and dressing, just use a board with a catchment edge or a plate so you can collect it. Any leftover flesh is great in a fruit salad. Tip: Don't marinate the chicken too long as the juice will begin the cooking process, 15 minutes is plenty.
This curry is like a big warm hug, a perfect anytime dish that you will want to make again and again. Best of all it's all in one pot! Note: Not all curry powders are created equal so make sure to buy a good organic one. We choose to use the one from Simply Organic Foods.
Tender and juicy chicken thigh with a light and fresh topping that tastes just like Italy. Note: We love the Niulife coconut balsamic vinegar for this recipe, just 3 simple ingredients, barrel-aged organic coconut vinegar, coconut nectar and tarragon leaves. A simple salad of lettuce and cucumber was all this needed.
This is an easy, tasty chicken curry with the bonus of a big green veggie hit. TIP: Make sure you choose good quality spices with no fillers.

We tried a few different recipe variations of Paleo gravy before settling on this one as a definite favourite! Any recipes using tapioca flour or similar to thicken them always ended with an ok result, this method using cauliflower to thicken means 1 extra step but trust us, it's totally worth the time. Hint: See notes for variations. Tip: Make extra and freeze in portions.

Spicy and tangy is what you will get with this incredible slaw recipe. Pair it with your favourite protein and some simple roasted potatoes and you have yourself a beautiful combination.

A quick and easy marinade to add some incredible flavour to a tender pork steak. Serve with your favourite sides. Hint: We have pictured this with the Spicy Slaw and we think the flavours work well together.

Don't ever think a cooked breakfast will take too long because you can have this scramble ready in under 10 minutes! Tip: Serve alone or with a piece of your favourite gluten-free toast.

Hint: If you want them even creamier you can add 1 teaspoon of coconut yoghurt or a little plant-based milk.
A gorgeous cinnamon marinade on the chicken is complimented perfectly by a mix of mustard and maple coating on the roasted vegetables. It tastes like Autumn but is delicious any time of the year! Hint: Swap out the vegetables with ones you like or have on hand.
A tasty Mexican spice rub makes for a delicious and fun dish with these skewers. We love to serve them with our Coriander & Chilli Cauliflower Rice but a side salad would work just as nicely. Tip: Be sure to pre-soak the skewers to avoid burning, alternatively you could use metal skewers. Hint: We cut the chicken thigh in half then each half into 3 to create 6 evenly sized pieces.
Garlic and herbs team up as a beautifully light marinade for this delicate mix of seafood. A wedge of lemon and a little sea salt is all it needs for the flavours to come together. Tip: We used a combination of herbs from the garden but any that you choose will work. Hint: We love this served with cauliflower rice but pretty much any sides will work with these simple flavours. Note: See notes in the method for seafood choices.
Something a little different to your regular side of greens! We think it tastes amazing and it works really well as a healthy alternative to rice.
A very easy side that will work with pretty much any protein! It's a great replacement for rice or starchy mashes and the flavour is so light and simple.
A spicy marinade that works perfectly with chicken! Serve with one of our delicious salad or vegetable sides. Tip: There wasn't a lot of heat in this chicken so we think you could increase the amount of chilli flakes for a bigger kick!

If you are following a Paleo or Keto diet then you would not even imagine being able to have something like this! But we are here to tell you that you can! The 'scone' is light and fresh, the jam is tart and sweet and the yoghurt 'cream' just brings it all together beautifully. Hint: The scone can also be toasted and topped with any of your fave sweet or savoury toppings. It will also keep for up to 2 days if wrapped or sealed and placed in the fridge so it's completely portable for your lunch box or a picnic! Tip: The jam will keep for up to a week in the fridge. Note: We used liquid coconut cooking oil/fractionated coconut oil as it is light and has no flavour but any other oil or butter will work equally as well.
An English Muffin that has only 5 simple ingredients, cooks in 1 minute and is guilt free! It's grain free and will fit in with most diet protocols. Hint: Results can differ greatly depending on the dish you use and your microwave so you may need to keep an eye on it the first time you try this. Note: We have toasted it for the pic but it works just as well untoasted. The butter is a serving suggestion only and is not included in the ingredients or macros.
It doesn't get any easier than this! Two ingredients and 6 minutes and you have jam! Tip: You can add your choice of sweetener, we chose not to as the berries were sweet enough. Note: If you would like to use fresh berries you will need to add a little water to make enough liquid.
This pesto is a little different but in a very good way! So delicious! Use it as a dip, spread or topping. We love it on the AIP approved Foccacia bread. To make this pesto AIP friendly be sure to use horseradish cream and not mustard. Hint: We use the pre-cooked beetroot available from most leading supermarkets.
Hummus doesn't necessarily need to be made with chickpeas, which means even if you're following a paleo diet you can still enjoy it! This cauliflower version is seriously delish but check out our other recipes too! Note: This makes just under half a cup.

This is one of those dishes you can eat for any meal of the day! Hint: Don't like chilli? Just leave it out.

This sauce works beautifully with seafood but don't stop there! It also works on chicken, beef or pork too!
This omelette is loaded with vegetables and flavour! It really is a complete meal and fits in with most dietary protocols too! Tip: We love to find ways of adding more greens to every meal but if you don't want to use the rocket just leave it off. Hint: We used shiitake mushrooms but any variety will work.
Otherwise known as Zuppa Toscana this dish is traditionally made using Italian sausage, we've made it a little healthier by using Turkey mince and swapping out the regular cream with coconut cream. Best of all is that it's a one-pot dish so the clean up is minimal. Hint: You can reduce or increase the chilli flakes to suit your taste.

No cooking is required for this easy meal! Plus, the dressing only takes a couple of minutes to mix together. TIP: The mint leaves are gorgeous in this dish, however they are optional. Swapping mint with either coriander or basil would also work well.
A twist on the usual cauliflower mash. By roasting it, you get a whole new depth of flavour, just delicious! Tip: Stir through some fresh herbs to compliment whatever you're serving it with.
A zesty vinaigrette dressing with a great kick of herbs that will work on all of your favourite salads.
A one-pan dish with loads of yummy chicken and vegetables in a sweet and tangy sauce. This one could not be easier. Hint: Cut down on cooking time by placing the pumpkin and cauliflower in the oven first while you prep the chicken, sauce and other vegetables.
So many ways you can enjoy this egg salad. In celery boats, lettuce cups or on your favourite toast or crispbreads.

Sweet more than tart, and such a beautiful dressing for salads.
Seriously good hummus that fits right into the paleo diet, no legumes! You can use blanched almonds for this but we love to blanch them fresh. You can blend this to whatever texture you like, it tastes incredible any which way, you can use it as a dip, a side or thin it down and use as a dressing. This recipe makes a little over 1/3 cup.
So much flavour! With all of the authentic flavours of Vietnam, this salad will transport you. If peanuts are not allowed you can sprinkle with chopped toasted cashews. Tip: The only thing keeping this from being Vegan is the fish sauce so you can replace it with a Vegan version, Niulife make an excellent one.
All the goodness of gut-friendly kimchi in a simple scramble that tastes incredible. Korean chilli and coriander are bold flavours and work perfectly together. Something a little different to start your day or enjoy for any meal of the day. Hint: If you don't like the spiciness of Kimchi you can substitute it with Sauerkraut.
So much better than regular mash! Serve it on the side of everything! Tip: All pumpkins are not created equal, some are drier than others so adjust the yoghurt to get the desired consistency.

The best description for these mushrooms is deeelicious! We think part of the reason they taste so amazing is the butter or ghee but you can definitely replace with your favourite oil.

Light and creamy and oh so similar in texture to potato mash without the starchy carbs!

Tip: If you don’t have a food processor you can use a stick blender.
Kimchi is so good for gut health! We should be including fermented foods in our diet daily to keep our tummies happy.

Veggies for breakfast? Of course! So much flavour in this dish and what a great way to start your day. We used sweet potato, zucchini, asparagus, and capsicum but feel free to get creative with your own. Tip: We used a julienne style peeler but a spiraliser would work equally as well.
One of the most versatile breakfasts or snacks. Chia seeds are full of important nutrients and are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Hint: If you are not following a vegan diet a teaspoon of butter melted through at the end is amazing!
Overnight oats are great for those of us that don't have a lot of time in the mornings. This peanut butter one is seriously good! Tip: If you don't have almond milk any plant-based milk will work.
