Recipes

We’re all prone to late-night temptations. However, instead of reaching for the naughty things in your cupboard, tuck into Jess Davies’ healthier recipes instead in the knowledge that she’s got your back.

Hummus

• 1 Can of chickpeas, rinsed
• 2 tbsp Tahini
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt & pepper to taste

Blend it all and use as a delicious healthy dip for carrots, cucumbers or any other crudites of your choice.

Egg Muffins

• 4 slices turkey ham
• 3 spring onion, chopped
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• Spinach leaves
• Garlic powder
• 3 eggs and 2 egg whites
• Salt & pepper

Beat the eggs, add garlic powder and salt and pepper and mix well. Line four muffin holes with a slice of turkey ham in each. Add in spinach, onion, pepper and tomato. Pour in the egg mixture evenly across all muffin holes. Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 15 – 20 minutes.

Salted Caramel Chocolate Protein Balls

• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 10 – 12 medjool dates
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/4 cup powdered stevia
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• Pinch of salt

Soak the dates in boiling water (just enough to cover) until soft, then blend with the water until smooth. Add in the rest of the ingredients – you should have a thick mixture. Add honey if the mixture needs to be sweeter. Roll into even sized balls, and then roll in cocoa, crushed almonds or coconut. Stick them in the fridge until your chocolate craving hits.
