3 Sugar-free Recipes to get You into the Christmas Spirit

/ Miranda Partridge / Leave a comment

A concern I’m often asked about around this time of year is weight gain around the silly season. With Christmas parties, lots of bevvies flowing, trifles, puddings, chocolates and of course, the big Christmas lunch (and dinner), there are plenty of opportunities to indulge while we celebrate with loved ones. However, that bloated, so-called “fat” and sluggish feeling you’re left with afterwards isn’t anywhere near as fun.

These recipes are designed to not only be a healthy alternative to your regular Christmas treats, they are a tasty way to bring the benefits of food as medicine to your body without you even knowing it. I’ve also made sure they are incredibly simple to prepare and full of Christmas cheer!

So put on your favourite Christmas carols, trim the tree, and let’s get right into it. Continue reading →

Healthy Meals: Campfire Edition

Processed with VSCO with a5 preset

This past weekend, Blake and I finally set off on what was my first ever real (read: not at a caravan park or music festival) camping trip. To give you a bit of history, part of me is a country kid, with half of my childhood living in a small town in North East Victoria. My Mum has a fireplace that I always volunteer to light, and I’ve been to many a bonfire each winter as a teen. I’ve camped at several festivals, and camping as a kid was always at a caravan park, so I have been itching to go ‘proper’ camping for years. Continue reading →

It’s not Miri’s… it’s mine! Miri’s Chocolate Orange Smoothie Recipe

/ Miranda Partridge / Leave a comment

I’m happy to admit, when I make a recipe I love, I always want to brag about it. Case in point, not only is this smoothie recipe delicious, if you can’t be bothered making it yourself, you can head down to Sun & Earth Organics, New Farm (my work), and I can make it for you, because I made such a big deal about it that we put it on the menu.

This recipe is great because the only thing sweetening it is the fruit and the tiniest bit of stevia in the protein powder, and the jaffa flavour comes from fresh orange zest, orange juice, and beautiful, raw cacao powder.

I have proudly converted choc-orange non-believers to this smoothie and surprised many a sweet-tooth by how yummy this is, with absolutely no additional sugar.

Best of all, you get to watch me make the recipe instead of reading it – it’s super easy, I promise!

So here it is, in all it’s jaffa glory;

I always say that healthy eating doesn’t need to be complicated to get results, and since I get asked a lot about what my diet looks like, I thought I would share with you a bit of a “day in the life”. It’s no muss, no fuss, whole foods and lots of variety.

Miranda Makes:: Golden Turmeric Chai

/ Miranda Partridge / 3 Comments

I am so excited! I’ve worked on this here video for a good couple of weeks, overcome a few technical difficulties and made a few things creatively that I never have before. It’s a bit rough, you can hear all the background sounds (planes, birds, cars), there are watermarks I can’t get rid of and I had to correct a few things that I forgot while filming, but I’m proud. It’s done! And I think you might just love it!

I know it’s not Game of Thrones, but at least while you wait for that, you can take 10 minutes to enjoy my new format/intro. And I’d love to see you make the recipe! It truly is delicious, and simple to boot.

Its no secret that my favourite tea in the history of tea, is Earl Grey.

My Mum always has a box of it hand just for when my sister and I go to visit, I rave about it so much, I’ve been known to inspire others to venture into the world of Earl Grey tea (especially French Earl Grey) and I’ve got some friends that keep a box handy for when I pop by. My purse constantly has a strong scent of bergamot because I insist on carting bags of earl grey around, just in case, and most birthdays and Christmases I’m given some variation of T2’s French Earl Grey products (my special occasion tea). Earl Grey tea is my jam! (so to speak) Continue reading →
