Happy Saturday!! 

Hope you’ve all had a great week. It’s definitely been a busy one for me, but it’s also very exciting as my first book was released into bookshops across the country today!

Eat Yourself Beautiful is packed with health and beauty tips, my fave foods and the very best recipes for your skin, hair, to help bloating and encourage healthy sustainable weight loss. 

I’ll also be doing a book signing tour starting from today… all the details are here. It would be so lovely to meet some of you at the signings 🙂

Chocolate Almond Butter-Cups

My SoSueMe recipe of the week is this fun and simple chocolate-rich snack for anyone with a sweet tooth 😉

These almond butter-cups are filling enough to keep your kids going between end of school and dinner time, as they’re full of healthy fats, fibre and antioxidant-rich cacao. Cacao nibs and powder are also a brilliant source of magnesium, which is nature’s sedative to help calm a stressed nervous system and aid muscle relaxation.  

I buy my cacao powder (€3.95) either online or from good health food shops…

And cacao nibs (€9.95) are also available in stores or online. They have a lovely, rich, chocolate flavour and a small amount goes a long way.

Even better, these butter-cups are so simple to make and are based on nourishing raw ingredients, without the refined sugar found in many commercial snacks. 

Dates are nature’s very own superstar sweetener, and they give this snack a sweet flavour and a lovely gooey texture. They were gone in about ten minutes when I made them at home recently!
