Hero Nutrient: B12

B12 is not readily available from any plant based foods. Our main food sources include animal proteins such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products. If your eating a vegan diet using fortified cereals or nutritional yeast, please still get your B12 checked regularly. It's much harder to maintain healthy levels of this essential vitamin when eating purely plant based.

Cold Rolls here in SA, Rice paper rolls over the border in Vic - Whatever you call them they’re delicious!

Foodie Friday: Beetroot cake

#foodiefriday This is my version of Sophie Thomson's Beetroot cake. I halved the sugar, and used GF flour. The beetroot makes the cake super moist and its a bit chocolate fudgey. The pops of purple from the beetroot made the batter an amazing colour. This will be an occasional fun treat for my kids recesses, made ready for school next week (hooray we made it!) 😀

Foodie Friday: 7 veg San Choy Bau

#foodiefriday 7 veg San Choy Bau - I use turkey mince as the base (its much leaner than pork) cooked with leek, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, spinach and seasoned with tamari. I serve it in Cos lettuce leaves and add heavy garnishes of capsicum, cucumber, carrots and coriander. Definitely a family favourite 😀
