I finally cracked these on my third attempt with zero yoghurt left in the fridge 😄 I started out making bagels, but on round two I switched to rolls… and honestly? I preferred them. Same dough, just a softer consistency. Round three, more rolls with a slightly different dough 😍 Each roll comes in at 219 calories, 7g fibre and 13g protein, which makes them a fantastic base before adding in a filling. Had one for lunch today with: - canned tuna - and my favourite kind of arugula (the type that’s hard to find) 🌿 I’m going to freeze a few tonight to see how they hold up (because freezer-friendly is always a win), and I’ll report back once I’ve tested that properly. 👉 Question for you: Would you like this recipe added this month? If yes, as bagels, rolls, or both?

Has anyone ordered the roasted beet and carrot salad at the Caribou? It has a whipped ricotta and avocado mousse that’s delicious. I had it a few weeks ago and have made my own version of it since. I used theirs as an inspiration from memory of what it includes, and I can’t wait to share it this month in our recipe collection. The ricotta and avocado mousse is layered underneath with a few dollops on top. This takes the salad to a whole new level 😍 I also used blood oranges and they really complimented beet the flavours. They brought a perfect sweetness to the whole dish. With chicken the nutrition is: Calories- 469 Sat fat- 4g Fibre- 12g Protein- 38g Flavour 100/10 😍🤣

I’m always working on new recipes and resources for our lovely community classroom, and I want them to be genuinely useful for real life (not just nice ideas on paper). If there’s something you’d love help with, please drop it in the comments below. This could be: 👩‍🍳 Specific recipes (slow cooker, under-30-minute meals, easy lunches, higher-protein dinners, etc.) 🍲 Ingredient-based ideas (beans, lentils, rotisserie chicken, canned tuna/salmon, frozen veg) 📚 Guides or explainers you want things broken down on (carbs, fats, fibre, labels, blood sugar, cholesterol, supplements) 💕Or a real-life struggle you’re dealing with right now (low energy, cravings, time pressure, cooking fatigue, “what do I even eat?” moments) Nothing is too small or too basic. If you’re thinking it, chances are others are too. I’ll keep this thread pinned and use it as a working list when I’m building new recipes and resources for you 🤍

How many different plants do you think you eat in a week? 🔥 There’s a reason I'm asking about this: plant diversity matters for us in midlife. As oestrogen shifts, the gut microbiome shifts too, and that influences energy, digestion, inflammation, immunity, heart health, and even brain health in our 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond I'm thinking about doing something fun around this inside our community. Feel free to share how many you think you get in a week, or list a few you eat regularly. It might give the rest of us ideas. 🌶️ Here are a few I rotate often: • Berries (depends on which ones are not ridiculously expensive) - frozen count too! • Legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas) • Oats + quinoa • Fresh herbs (basil, parsley, dill, cilantro) • Seeds (chia, flax, hemp) • Nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews) • Edamame/soy • Potatoes + sweet potatoes • Leafy greens ✅ And just to clarify...in this context, “plants” means more than produce (like leafy greens). It includes: • Vegetables • Fruits • Legumes • Whole grains • Nuts + seeds • Herbs • Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, tempeh (extra gut health points with these) Different varieties count separately (e.g., chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, lentils). How many do you think you have right now? I added a poll ;)

Good morning ladies. I’m not one to flex ☺️ BUT these have to be the best brownies I’ve ever created 😍 Kept in the fridge they go “fudgy”. I used pistachios but you can replace those with nuts you prefer. Coming in at 186 calories per square, with 4g fibre & 7g protein they’re a perfect sweet treat! Adding the recipe this week.
