Rocket Pasta Salad
A favourite of mine that can be thrown together very quickly. It’s simple, fresh and with every spoonful you get bursts of different flavours and textures.
You’ve got the subtle sweetness and creaminess coming through from the Pumpkin + Fusilli. Then you’ve got the sharp peppery bitterness of the rocket which is balanced by the sweet cranberries and fragments of crunchy honey roasted macadamias. YUM!

Notes
How I like to prepare it
-
I personally like to roast the pumpkin with some Rosemary, Salt&Pepper + Olive Oil until it’s soft enough to stir in with the pasta.
-
If this turns out too dry for you and you’re looking for a delicious dressing for it; then mix together some sweet chilli and honey mustard sauce :)
WeetBix Trail Mix
Threw this combination together last week and they went down a treat. You don’t even need milk at all! :) I’d have to say that Walnuts + Cranberries = match made in heaven.

Yoghurt Popsicles
I love greek yoghurt and Chobani’s range still has me in disbelief. With virtually no fat, a light amount of carbs and a healthy dose of protein; it’s a must have in your fridges whenever you’re on your cut phase.
I was so happy when I stumbled across this Frozen Yoghurt set today and it brought back vivid memories from when I was a kid! Mixed with fresh berries and a good drizzle of honey, this beats any of the low-fat ice-cream currently sitting in my freezer.
