About This Recipe
This new year I’m focussing on creating small, lasting habits that add to my overall health. It’s so easy to get caught up in making over zealous, poorly defined New Years resolutions like “Get fit”, “Lose weight” or “Eat better”.
These resolutions are ideals rather than actionable goals, making them difficult to measure and all too often end up in abandonment.
Instead of focussing on life changing resolutions this January, I’m creating achievable, well planned goals, that slowly but surely add to a healthier way of life.
My goals: quieten my busy mind, and balance my energy levels throughout the day.
I’m achieving these with two simple daily tasks: a 10 minute morning meditation and incorporating balanced snacks between meals.
By defining my goals in this way it is easy to measure my success and hold myself accountable.
Having healthy snacks on hand is a great way to balance your blood sugar levels between meals so that you don’t arrive at the next main meal ravenous and end up inhaling your food.
Creating a healthy meal, for me, is about thinking of what nutrition you can add to the meal, rather than what you should go without.
Every time you eat is an opportunity to nourish your body - snacking should be no exception.
Let’s make our snacks more than just something to get us through to the next meal.
These Supercharged Turmeric Crackers are packed with healthy fats, protein and wholegrains and are so simple to throw together.
They contain a healthy dose of anti-inflammatory turmeric and ground flax seeds which have so many wonderful health benefits.
New year, new snacking: let’s do this.

- In a small bowl, mix ground flax and chia seeds then slowly add the warm water and whisk well with a fork as it begins to thicken. Add melted coconut oil and whisk again until completely combined (this mixture should now look like a thick gel)

It is incredibly frustrating to play the lottery and never win or to win only small amounts that don’t even reach $100. I lived that harsh reality myself; the most I had ever won was $100 after nearly 11 years of playing. However, everything changed when I discovered a secret online: the story of a spell caster named Priest Alaska, a man who helps people win any type of lottery. Although I was skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try. Now, I am proud to say that I won the lottery thanks to Priest Alaska’s spell; I won $2,000,000, and I want to share this with everyone who has been trying to win for so long. Believe me, this is the only way to win the lottery; it is the true secret we have all been looking for.
