Hello!
I am Victoria, nutritionist and chemist who can tell you what's really on your plate and what chemical reactions will happen in your body when you eat.
Your body is like magnificent canvas, and the foods you eat are the paintbrushes that shape your appearance and well-being. Imagine one person indulging in a rainbow of fresh fruits, crisp veggies, and nourishing whole grains. Their skin radiates a healthy glow, their hair shines like a sunbeam, and they seem to exude vitality from every pore. Now, picture another person whose diet revolves around greasy fast food, sugary treats, and processed delights. Their skin may appear lackluster, their energy levels might fluctuate like a rollercoaster, and their overall well-being might seem less than stellar.
It's not just about surface-level differences, though. Nutrient-rich meals fuel your bodies with the building blocks needed for cell regeneration, collagen production, and hormonal balance. On the flip side, a diet lacking in essential nutrients can leave you feeling sluggish, prone to breakouts, and even contribute to premature aging.
So, the next time you wonder why your friend seems to defy the passage of time while you're locked in a wrestling match with wrinkles, take a closer look at your plates. Remember, the choices we make in the kitchen can unlock the secret to looking and feeling our best.
Forget about fab diets that make you feel like a sad carrot stick. Say hello to my individual meal plans, where simplicity is the secret ingredient! These meals are so easy to cook, they practically make themselves!
Fueling your body with the right nutrients can work wonders on your overall well-being, leaving you feeling energized, focused, and ready to conquer the world.
Say hello to a healthier, happier, and more fabulous version of yourself. Get ready to nourish your body, transform your life, and shine from within!

Place half of strawberries in a food processor and puree until smooth. Another half keep for topping.
Place chia seeds in a bowl or Maison jar, add in yogurt and pureed strawberries and mix chia seeds until smooth and not clumped.
Add topping-remaining fresh strawberries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
In a heat proof bowl add the coconut oil and heat it but do not boil. Add honey and cocoa powder and gently simmer until everything combined and you're left with a smooth chocolate. To set the chocolate, you can use a loaf tin, cake tin, chocolate moulds or even a plastic container - just make sure you cover with parchment paper so you can easily take the chocolate out once set. Add sliced strawberries and sesame seeds and place in the freezer for a couple of hours or until it's hardened.
When you're ready to serve, take your chocolate out and slice into what ever shape and as many pieces as you like.
Because coconut oil starts to melt in warm temperature, I would store the chocolate in the fridge until you're ready to serve/eat. It will start to melt if it's left out for too long, especially if your house is warm!
