Leaky Gut Friendly

If you’ve been diagnosed with Leaky Gut Syndrome then this can require some major changes to your diet. Our entire website is gluten free which is a great start, however there are some other foods that you should also be avoiding. 

Leaky Gut can also be associated with some autoimmune conditions and you may find our AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) recipe category really helpful as well.  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.

As mentioned above, there is a lot of different diet information out there, so make sure you check each recipe to ensure it matches the diet protocol you need to follow.

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.

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.
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.
Marinated salmon is an easy & healthy dinner as the flavours absorb quickly. This entire dish is a really quick cook, however, if you can leave the salmon marinate for at least 30mins the flavours will infuse beautifully. TIP: Swap out for your favourite vegetables, just keep in mind cooking times for harder choices. Optional to add in a small portion of brown rice or quinoa for a bigger meal. TIP 2: For soy free, swap out tamari for coconut aminos & only add 1/2 the honey.
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.
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.
This gorgeous vegan noodle dish is sure to satisfy. TIP: We’ve used a firm tofu for this recipe, however it also works well with a softer tofu. Tempeh is another option & there are now some great soy-free varieties.
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.
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.
This gorgeous creamy dip can be served with anything you like or use it as a spread or thinned out into a sauce, it's that good you're going to want to serve it with everything! Tip: If you want the flatbread even crispier you can place in the oven for 10 minutes or so. Hint: We use the pre-cooked beetroot available from most supermarkets but you can cook from fresh. Note: For the flatbread you can thin it out with water, the thinner it is the crispier it will get in a shorter time.
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.
We never tire of those authentic Mexican flavours and this dish has it in spades! One-pan means minimal clean up too so we think it's going to be one of your favourites too. Tip: Want it a little spicier? Add some chilli powder in with the other spices. Hint: Don't leave off the yoghurt, once you add the lemon juice it tastes so much like sour cream! Note: Edgell now have black beans in a 100g satchel that are ready to serve, we love them!
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.
Buddha Bowl, Nourish Bowl, Salad Bowl or Hippie Bowl. Whatever you want to call them, they are a big bowl filled with many beautiful ingredients. This is definitely one of our favourites, all the flavours of a burrito but way healthier! Hint: You can replace the cauliflower rice with cooked rice or quinoa. Tip: You can cut the chicken prior to cooking and you can leave the capsicum and corn raw to save on cooking time. Note: If you want to keep it paleo leave out the beans.
2 Serves. Chickpea Fettuccine is a great gluten & wheat free alternative to pasta, and it’s one of our favourites. The sauce is vegan, delicious & filling. Plus, the dish only takes around 15mins to make. TIP: Add in some cayenne or chilli for a spicy hit. It's delicious!
Great natural flavours in this san choy bau without the usual bottled sauce flavours added. This recipe is designed for our AIP members with no chilli or nuts. It’s fabulous! TIP: We’ve used an oriental mushroom mix with shitake & oyster mushrooms in this recipe as it goes beautifully with the asian flavours. However, you can use regualar field mushrooms, they’ll just take a little longer to cook as the orientals are very delicate.
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.
We’ve chosen not to include a lot of soy products in our recipes, and this is purely from personal experiences. However, miso is a fermented soy product and we think there can be lots of health benefits associated with fermented soy. Making a miso soup is so easy & it’s delicious. Please also note that it can have a high salt content, so it’s a sometimes dish for us. TIP: We’ve used an oriental mushroom mix (purchased from a supermarket) in this soup which consisted of shitake, oyster & king oyster mushrooms. However, if they are not easily available you could use any type of mushroom. Even regular field mushrooms, just cook them for just a little longer.
Honey & mustard are classic flavours together. The marinade doubles as a dressing & only takes a few minutes to mix together. TIP: This is already a quick and easy salad to put together, however you can make the marinade and marinate the chicken overnight to save even more time.
Even better than the real thing?
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!
With flavours reminiscent of a pina colada this smoothie will become a fast favourite! Although it's adding a good serve of greens to your day you can't actually taste them, it's fresh and delightful. Hint: You could also use 3/4 cup Pure Harvest Coconut Quench in place of the coconut milk and water. Tip: If you don't have coconut milk any other plant-based milk will work. Hint: Add your fave protein powder or other superfood powders for an added boost. We added 1 teaspoon of bee pollen but note that it no longer fit's into a vegan diet.
Rice paper rolls are a healthy & easy meal. We love serving ours with a punchy spicy dipping sauce. Tip: If you’re looking for a lighter dipping sauce visit one of our other rice paper roll recipes.
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.
Spicy veggie packed chilli beans with crispy potatoes, avocado, coconut yoghurt and lime. So delicious. TIP: You can swap out fresh tomato for canned tomatoes if you need to. Also, we use COYO coconut yoghurt. It’s thick and luscious and has similar texture and flavour to sour cream.
A creamy gelato style dessert that tastes like a Weis bar! Hint: We used a high-speed blender so we used frozen mango but fresh is fine in a normal blender.
This paleo flatbread has a whole lot of bend and no break. It's super foldable so can be used as a taco too! The coriander will work well with any curry or stirfry, or maybe as a taco with your fave Mexican dish. Tip: Add a little extra water and spread it out a little more and you can roll it up and use as a wrap.
Fresh & Delicious! Keep this recipe in your favourites! TIP: Use a tender cut of beef for a quick cook. Herbalicious: Fresh herbs give Thai salads their gorgeous flavour. Change them up between coriander, mint or (Thai) basil depending on what's available. Boost: Add in some rice noodles if you want to make this a bigger meal.
Craving chocolate? It's super quick, seriously creamy and totally delicious! You wouldn't have any idea that it's made from avocado! Tip: It's also super adaptable, you can have it as a soft pudding, a thicker mousse style dessert or a firm tart filling just by changing the amount of coconut oil. Hint: To make it vegan just substitute the honey with maple syrup.
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.
Gorgeous flavours in this dish. Cabbage pancakes are easy and you can team them with many different proteins. Adding fresh herbs isn’t necessary, however we always love adding them as they are packed with so much green love & are so delicious. TIP: Use a tender cut of beef for a quick cook.
This tastes just like the Gelato you get from a fancy Gelato shop! Super easy and perfect for a hot summer's day or any day for that matter! Tip: We used almond milk but to keep it nut free choose any other plant-based milk. Hint: We made this using a stick blender but a high-speed blender will work also, just leave out the milk.
Have a chocolate craving? Feel like a bowl of ice cream? Then this is the recipe for you. It tastes just like creamy chocolate ice cream but it comes without all the nasty stuff. You will be hooked! Note: We have tested this recipe in a high-speed blender but it also works with a stick blender, you will just need to add a tablespoon of plant-based milk. Tip: Keep some frozen bananas and other fruits in the freezer for ice cream emergencies!
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.
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.
Rice paper rolls are a great healthy dinner. We love serving ours with a punchy spicy dipping sauce and this one is fabulous. Tip: If you don't have time to poach the chicken, any cooked chicken will work for these rolls.
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.
Overnight oats make breakfast easy in the morning, and this strawberry one is delicious. We’ve gone for a lighter option of using ½ coconut water for the liquid choice, however you can use all coconut milk for a creamier dish. TIP: Make this in a screw top jar so you can take it with you for a healthy on-the-go option when it’s time to eat.
A gorgeous coloured veggie packed lunch or dinner. You need a punchy sauce with these to make your veggies sing! TIP: We used some beautiful purple sweet potato noodles purchased from a health food shop. You can also use rice noodles, mung bean noodles, or one of the many others on the market.
Warm toasted granola done in 10mins. This one is nut free & should tick all your breakfast boxes. TIP: You can eat this on its own as it’s not too dry, but adding some coconut yoghurt is a great option. Alternatively, you could heat up a little almond or other plant milk to serve.
A most traditional hummus except we’re using mostly water instead of oil for blending.
This dark, rich snack will cure any chocolate cravings for the rest of day. You will only need one! TIP: Making bliss balls for one is possible but you will need a small blender. The one we use comes with the stick blender as an attachment.
This salad is fresh & sweet with a gorgeous orange vinaigrette. Pomegranate seeds are little red jewels that add an amazing pop to so many dishes. Plus they are loaded with vitamins and have many health benefits. TIP: The mint leaves are optional, but adding a herb adds another delicious & healthy element to this salad.
We love a good salad bowl. This one has dry roasted chickpeas with a sprinkle of flavour & is then finished off with our gorgeous coconut yoghurt, lime and mint dressing. Delicious! TIP: You can use coconut milk instead of yoghurt and if you don’t like mint, basil or coriander are fabulous substitutes>
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.
This is a really tasty dish with those great Mexican flavours. TIP: Tomatoes – use what you have. We used one whole tomato and then added 4 grape tomatoes towards the end of cooking as that’s all we had. Canned tomatoes are also great – use around ½ cup for this dish.
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.
This salad embraces fruit and sweetness with a tangy kick, depending on how sour or sweet your lime is. TIP: We had a small sweet potato for this dish, however, if you only have a bigger sweet potato you could choose prepare and cook the entire potato and plan it into another dish over the next few days.
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!
It's quick, easy, delicious and Vegan! So much to love about this dish, definitely a favourite lunch or simple dinner idea. We used a high speed blender for this which does make it super quick but it's not a necessary item.
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.
A paleo version of a Korean-style spicy pancake made with kimchi and served with a dipping sauce. We make this quite often, definitely a family fave! Hint: If you don't like the spiciness of Kimchi you can substitute with Sauerkraut
You had us at Cherry Ripe! Seriously though, chocolate and cherries? Yes please! Note: The toppings are just a serving suggestion and are optional. Tip: These pancakes can stick a little so make sure you have a good quality non-stick pan and grease it well
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.
When you are used to eating clean it can be hard to include enough fat when starting on a Keto diet. We love this smoothie for breakfast, it provides fuel for the day and it tastes amazing! Tip: It is quite thick so you can add a little water until it is the desired consistency.
This grain free vegetarian dish will keep you fully satisfied. The haloumi adds a big salty punch to the dish, but it’s the dressing that makes it so delicious. TIP: If you don’t like coriander you can leave it out, or swap for another herb you have on hand i.e. Mint, basil or parsley work too.
A single-serve banana cake without all the hassle! Mug cakes are super easy and quick when you're looking for a sweet fix but don't want to make a whole cake or batch of cupcakes, because let's face it, who can stop at 1!
Simple flavours that all marry beautifully together. Some fresh pan-fried greens is all this dish needs to bring it all together. Tip: If you want the greens to retain their colour and be fresh and crisp follow all of the steps, otherwise you can just pan fry.
A very healthy version of a classic salad. It still retains all of the flavours and is so very delicious!
A sweet and zesty slaw that works well alongside your favourite protein but is equally as nice on it's own! Hint: We teamed this slaw with the Curried Yoghurt Chicken and it works beautifully.
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.
Quick, light and healthy in 20 minutes or less! We love Niulife Teriyaki sauce for this recipe because it's made with coconut nectar and complies with most dietary protocols.
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 colourful, low calorie, high protein salad that delights the senses. Yum!
There are some out there that might think this is a very unusual flavour combination but trust me, it works! Summer on a plate.
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.
We love citrus flavours with lamb! This dish marries them so well and the spices just bring it all together so beautifully. Tip: If you don't like hazelnuts, slivered almonds work just as well or leave the nuts out all together.
Fresh & delicious. Full of gorgeous herbs. We recommend using all 3 herbs, but feel free to just use your favourites. TIP: Want it spicier? Add some fresh bird's eye chillies into the marinade / dressing.
Green smoothies offer unique health benefits with leafy greens and avocado that are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins and good fats. A smoothie bowl is just like eating soft ice cream, is an excellent way to satisfy hunger and gets you maximum nutritional benefits for a great start to your day. Note: The toppings are not included in the macros, they are our suggestion and totally optional.
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!
Light, fluffy and so, so easy, just whip everything up in the blender and pour into the pan. The banana adds just the right amount of sweetness so no added sugars are necessary.
If you like haloumi this salad will not disappoint. The haloumi adds a big salty punch to the dish, but it’s the dressing that makes it so delicious. TIP: You can substitute the brown rice for any other healthy grain like buckwheat or quinoa.
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.
Quinoa flour is a great gluten free option for pancakes. It's quite a heavy flour so these little morsels will fill you up until lunch. TIP: Quinoa has an "earthy" taste so adding yoghurt and berries is a must!
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.
A healthy way to enjoy chocolate at any time of the day! A light breakfast or even a delicious way to curb those afternoon cravings. TIP: Swap out peanut butter for any other nut butter.
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.
A high protein, low carb meal for any time of the day. They are great as a lunchbox snack too. Tip: Feel free to add any other ingredients like capsicum or even leftover veggies. Note: We use Fratelli Beretta prosciutto for this recipe as the only ingredients are pork and salt, it is not processed and has no added nitrates.
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.
2 Serves. Delish "Pasta" dish! We've used Eco Organics Chickpea Fettuccine for this dish. There are a few varieties of gluten-free & wheat-free "pastas" in this range, but this is a definite fave!
The aromas and visuals of this dish make it even more delicious. TIP: We’ve used sweet potato noodles for this dish but you could use traditional vermicelli or some of the many other noodles on the market today.
Breakfast that keeps you going all morning. Optional extras make it a little indulgent, but they are not necessary to enjoy these little pancakes. TIP: Swap out hazelnuts for almonds, macadamia, pecan or any nut of your choice.
A delicious salad which is so easy to make. TIP: Most of our dishes are moderate serves. However, you could boost this dish with a larger serving of chicken or a small serving of brown rice or quinoa.
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.
This refreshing drink will get you through a hot summer's day and recharge you at any time. TIP: Freeze your watermelon first for a more icy/slushie drink. Mint is optional, but highly recommended.
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.
Let's just say one thing.... Blueberries & Lemon - YUM! Tip: you can use all of one type of plant milk. But we think it's more delicious with a mix of both.
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.
Roasted potatoes like you have never tried before! All the flavours of Mexico to serve alongside your favourite protein. Tip: We used Chipotle chilli powder but smoked paprika or just your favourite chilli powder will work.
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.
So many flavours going on in this beautiful salad! Turmeric & lemon on the chicken and authentic Asian flavours in the dressing, this salad will have your taste buds dancing! Hint: We used a spicy chilli in this but you can easily use a milder one or halve the amount. Tip: Choose whichever rice noodles you like just be sure the only ingredient is rice. Note: If you don't have access to fresh lemongrass you can use packaged, just check the ingredients for no additives.
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.
It's Vegan and it's delicious! The perfect salad to take on the go. Not everyone is a fan of tahini but you need to try this dressing, it will seriously change your mind. Tip: If you don't have red cabbage you could swap it out for grated carrot. Hint: This can be served in a wrap, just halve the chickpeas and lightly mash them before adding to the salad.
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.
This is one of those dishes that can be made ahead of time because it just keeps getting better! It's also made all in one pan and we love that! Tip: We like it hot but if you don't like too much heat you can dial it down by using less chilli powder and leaving out the fresh chilli. Hint: We love Budgee Garlic & Herbs Firehouse Chilli Seasoning for this.
Chocolate and nuts just work so well together it doesn't even matter which nuts you use! We used peanut butter in this smoothie but absolutely any nut butter will work. Note: We used Happy Mammoth Collagen Protein powder but use your own favourite.
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.
Savoury Mince is one of those staple breakfast recipes you might see on the all-day menu in many cafes, because let's face it you can eat it for any meal you like! Hint: We love it with the addition of creamy avocado and a poached egg but the choice is totally yours as to what you top it with. Tip: We also love it served with our Paleo Taco/Tortilla.
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.
Koftas are Middle Eastern meatballs. They are usually full of spices & herbs. We’ve left out the spices in this dish as we do have some diet categories that can’t tolerate them, or need to eliminate them for a short time. TIP: Fresh coriander can always be swapped for parsley, or just left out and enjoy the mint.
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.
This big bowl of oats & fruit will keep you going all morning. TIP: If you don’t get a chance to make this the night before it can be ready to eat in 2 hours and only takes 5 mins to put together.
This bowl of porridge will make you smile. The spice mix is optional, but it will give you the apple pie flavour. Using cinnamon alone is also delicious. TIP: You can use any preferred type of plant milk. The coconut milk does give an extra creaminess but it can become quite thick whilst cooking.
The goji berries give this a little jam like hit. Other options are dried strawberries or raspberries or even some berry chia jam.
A totally healthy grain free version of crumbed fish that tastes so much better! The chips can be prepped ahead of time for a crispier finish. We used NZ Blue Grenadier but Snapper, Barramundi or similar will work. Hint: The pickled salad is super easy and works with pretty much anything. Note: Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chips.
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.
If you like satay this is a delicious, warm, vegan chickpea salad bowl. TIP: Satay is great with lots of chilli. Turn up the heat if you can handle it!
A deliciously warming vegan curry. TIP: If you prefer you can use dried chickpeas, they just need to be soaked overnight.
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.
A great alternative to morning oats if you are following a grain free diet. The sweetness of the coconut, strawberries & yoghurt are a nice change from some of the other heavy protein breakfasts. TIP: We haven't added a sweetener in this recipe as it falls into our low sugar diet categories. If you need this to be a little sweeter add a teaspoon of maple syrup, or for strict keto followers, a little keto approved sweetener.
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.
These are such a delicious burger pattie. We decided to go with a fresh side salad, however team it with your favourite gluten free or wheat free wrap or bun for a gorgeous burger. A must try with our ‘next level’ beetroot tzatziki. TIP: Coriander can always be swapped out for another herb, or left out entirely. Parsley or mint are a nice option here. Also, the canned bean mix can be any other bean type, especially if you already have leftovers.
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
We think these taste even better than potato chips, they're so good! A mandolin slicer is best for these for consistency of thickness and it definitely gets the job done quicker. If you're using a knife take your time as unevenly cut slices will cook unevenly.
Nuts can sometimes get a little boring so we have made them a little more interesting by toasting them and adding some flavour! Note: We used coconut oil but olive or macadamia would also work well.
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.
Fruit coolers are a great between-meal snack, especially in the warmer months. Hint: If you are using a sealed blender like a Nutri-Bullet the mineral water can build up the pressure but coconut water or chilled water will also work. Tip: You can use raspberries in this cooler as well or equal amounts of each.
Fruit coolers are a great between-meal snack, especially in the warmer months. Using coconut water makes them even more refreshing and adds a little sweetness, but chilled water will also work.
This dish is great for breakfast, brunch, lunch and even dinner. Really delicious with warm crispy potato and fresh toppings. TIP: Grate the potatoes just before cooking to avoid going brown. Plus with no binding ingredient it may be a little hard to keep the potato together – see method.
We love this dish as it’s so simple and ready in 15-20 minutes. You can choose whichever plant-based or any pasta you prefer. TIP: If you would like a creamier pasta add another tablespoon of coconut milk or even coconut yoghurt.
Zucchini noodles are one of those things that most people put off trying because they think they won't like them, but trust us they're really, really good! Some classic stir fry flavours in the sauce make this dish taste just a little familiar and teamed up with gorgeous fresh tiger prawns it's super yummy!
Using fresh baked salmon is what makes this dish stand apart from your regular quiche recipes. It's an all in one dish too, so super easy! Tip: Dill and salmon work very well together but you can use any fresh or dried herbs you like.
Pork and apple were meant for each other! With the added flavours of onion, fresh herbs and a mash with a hint of ginger, you have a definite hit on your hands! Hint: Use whatever greens you like, it's still a gorgeous dish without them but they add that nice bit of freshness to the plate.
All the good things about hummus but it's paleo! Use this hummus as a dip, dressing or side. If you don't like the flavour of cumin you can use any spice you like. Paprika, turmeric or onion powder would all work. This recipe makes 1/3 cup.
A quick and easy curry with some classic Indian flavours. Note: By replacing the rice with cauliflower rice this dish will also fit in with Atkins, Keto and Paleo.

Finding a substitute for pizza when you're following a grain-free diet is hard, especially one that goes crispy and holds together well.

Note: Makes 2 approx. 16cm bases and can easily be made paleo and dairy free by leaving off the goat's cheese.
This is one of those salads you will make again and again. It's one of our favourites, it's super easy and it tastes amazing! Tip: You could easily swap the pear for sliced apple.

Potatoes are one of the most versatile of the vegetable family. There are so many different ways to cook them and this is one of our favourites. Equal parts crispy and creamy with the flavours of thyme and garlic. Seriously though! Tip: Don't have thyme? Use one of your favourite herbs. We used ghee for the gorgeous buttery flavour but for vegan you can use coconut oil. Niulife make a coconut ghee that is vegan and quite delicious!
A one-pan dish is always a winner with us and when it tastes this good we love it even more! Note: We used Basil, parsley and sage for the herbs but use whatever you have (think Italian). Tip: You can easily add more vegetables to this dish if you like. Hint: Adjust the chilli to your taste.
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. We've even made our version of KFC's secret seasoning. They are awesome with our Homemade Tomato Sauce but our BBQ Sauce or Homemade Mayo are equally as good. 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.
So very light and fresh, the sauce is like a buttery broth and it's so delicious! Hint: This fit's perfectly into the keto diet and is really nice served with some cauliflower rice.

A gorgeous curry that's ready in 20 minutes! It's Keto and fits in with most other dietary protocols. Tip: Use whatever vegetables you like or whatever you have on hand and pretty much any protein would work with this.
Lots of gorgeous flavours in these ones! We used parsley, thyme and sage as our choice of herbs. Tip: We used the fresh Huon Wood Roasted Salmon available from leading supermarkets in these but any salmon will work. Hint: Our macros include all of the coconut oil which you need to ensure crispy fritters but not all of it will actually be used.
A delicious dressing takes a simple salad to a fantastic flavoured meal! TIP: If you don't like a particular herb, just change it with one you do like. Coriander or Basil work well in this dressing.
A gorgeous flavour packed Tikka Masala in under half an hour! We love these Indian flavours and if you don't have these spices they are definitely worth having in your pantry. You could serve this with one of our flatbread recipes or some rice but it is very filling on its own. Tip: Every element in this dish adds to the flavour balance so no cutting corners if you want the authentic flavour.
Paleo AND Vegan, the best of both worlds. The toppings can be adjusted to suit whatever diet protocol is being followed. Hint: We chose coconut yoghurt and berries as our toppings but use whatever you like.

Tip: This dish is easily made vegetarian by leaving out the ham or bacon but if you are using either try to find ones with no added nitrates or sugars. Hint: We used Niulife Coconut Teriyaki Sauce for this recipe but you could also use coconut aminos with a little honey, garlic & ginger added.
This muffin is just delightful on its own or served on the side of your fave dish. It's also yummy with a little mayo and salad. Tip: You can use whatever herbs you have on hand or dried herbs will also work, just keep in mind you will only need 1/2 teaspoon.
So much flavour in one bowl of soup! It's creamy, spicy and so very delicious. TIP: You can use coconut cream in place of the yoghurt but we think it adds to the flavour.
A one-pan cooked breakfast. What could be easier? This is one of those easy staple breakfasts that gives you an amazing start to your day with protein and plenty of nutrients and vitamins.

Tip: It's really good with a little pesto added when serving.
A Thai chicken salad with a spicy peanut sauce. It's like a party in your mouth that takes you to Thailand! Note: For Paleo swap the peanut butter for almond butter. Hint: If you don't have a spiraliser a shark style julienne peeler works just as well.
Just like a big bowl of berry ice-cream! How can something that tastes this incredible be so good for you? Hint: We love Melrose Essential Reds powder in this bowl. Note: We used 1/3 cup each of frozen blueberries and strawberries and 1/3 cup fresh raspberries. It really just depends on what you have available at the time. Tip: If you use all frozen fruit reduce the number of ice cubes. Note: For AIP swap the almond milk for another suitable plant-based milk.

A vegetable bake with a twist. Light and delicious, it works well as a side with any main but is tasty just on its own! Want a vegan version? Swap out the butter with your favourite vegan substitute.
A very healthy alternative to store-bought tomato sauce, no nasty additives or preservatives, just tomato and spices with a little honey for sweetness. You can make this in 6 minutes!
If you ask us, this sauce is better than any bought kind and it has none of the horrible additives either. You will need a stick blender or a very small food processor but trust me, it's worth it. Hint: This makes around 2 1/2 tablespoons of sauce but the recipe is easily doubled.
Just like apples, pears go really well with pork. To get the best possible results use a good quality free-range pork mince for the patties. We served them with a gorgeous tangy salad that helps bring all of the flavours together, the potato wedges are a lovely little treat and are included in the macros but are optional. Don't want the starchy carbs? It's still an amazingly tasty dish without them.
We can never make up our minds which mug cake is the best but this one comes in as one of our all-time faves! Mug cakes are super easy and quick when you're looking for a sweet fix but don't want to make a whole cake or batch of cupcakes, because let's face it, who can stop at 1!!

Whatever you want to call them, skewers, kebabs or kabobs, food on a stick is always a bit fun! Just be sure if you're using wooden skewers you soak them well so they don't burn! Hint: To keep it paleo approved you can easily swap the peanut butter for almond butter.
This gorgeous recipe has a few steps and a little extra prep but if you have the time we guarantee you will love it. The sauce is seriously addictive!

A creamy Italian style chicken dish that can be served with your favourite steamed greens or even some rice but is awesome just on its own. Delish!

Sandhurst, available from leading grocery stores make a similar type but you could also use any that come in a jar, just drain first.
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.
This chicken develops more and more flavour the longer you let it marinate but if you're in a hurry it still tastes amazing if you cook it right away. We served it with the Mango Salad and the flavours work perfectly but it's also great with some simple steamed greens as a winter dish.
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.
A vibrant and punchy flavoured dish that has all the flavours of Thailand. It's spicy, tangy and delicious! We love the chops cooked on the bbq but a grill pan or fry pan will also do the job. Tip: We used a julienne/shark style peeler for the carrot but grated will also work.
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.

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.

Salmon teamed up with lemon and dill just works. This simple dish is light, fresh and creamy. It's dairy free and fits with most dietary protocols. Hint: To keep it AIP friendly just leave out the tomatoes. Tip: If you can't get fresh dill just use 1/4 tsp. dried.
For those of you following the AIP diet or for anyone who doesn't like the heat in a curry this dish is perfect! Tip: Use whatever vegetables you like or whatever you have on hand.
This recipe takes mushrooms as a side to the next level! Serve these on toast, with your breakfast eggs or on your favourite protein, trust us they will work with pretty much everything!

Hint: If you are not following a vegan diet a teaspoon of butter melted through at the end is amazing!
