The magical herbal tea that helps with so much!
It’s winter, so that means it is mandarin season!! I love all things citrus, but mandarins, in their perfect little natural packaging, are probably my most favourite.

By now, we all know that stress can have negative effects on our physical well-being, but did you know that all of our emotions can play a part in our physical functioning?

Over the long weekend, like most people I pigged out and ate too many naughty treats. So on Monday, I decided to be good and make some yummy yet healthy treats to take to the Footy (Go Dees!) and to celebrate the Queen’s Birthday!
I used our clinic owner, Nat’s trusty recipe for Chocolatey Amazeballs (from her first book, Eat Fat, Be Thin)! Sadly we missed out on a photo-op, which I was planning on when at the game. But the balls disappeared before I could even try to get that perfect angle for insta! You can check out the recipe (and many more like these) on her website but because I’m all about making your life easier, I’ve also attached the recipe below. They are so yummy and easy to make. I used The Health Lab chocolate protein powder we are currently selling in the clinic, which made them even more chocolatey and delicious.
