Claudia and I started Health and Yum in February 2023. We learned a lot, we worked a lot and we also had a lot of fun. Our friendship deepened and hopefully as the years pass, it will get better – just like wine. 😀 🍷
We made many recipes together that involved a few kitchen failures, a lot of kitchen successes, a few tears (when cutting onions) and a lot of laughter. I am usually in front of the camera and Claudia is behind it. But sometimes she comes over to my side and we continue our shenanigans in front of the camera.
From the many brain-healthy recipes we made this year, we chose five to share with you, as they stand out in our mind for a few reasons we’ll mention below. Our hope is that you’ll check out a few of these recipes for energy and focus, make at least one of them and that recipe becomes one of your favourites.
1. Let’s start with Sausage Cabbage Soup.
This soup is made with savory sausage, tender cabbage and a blend of flavorful herbs and spices that will make your taste buds dance. Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a comforting Sunday lunch, this healthy sausage cabbage soup recipe is perfect for you.
2. Chicken Salad is perfect for meal prep.
Not only is this salad rich in nutrients and absolutely delicious, but it’s also incredibly easy to make. It’s creamy, bright and fresh, making it the perfect healthy and quick recipe for any meal of the day.
We enjoy it for lunch, dinner or even as a snack. This versatile chicken salad dish can be served on crackers, tortillas, toast, lettuce leaves, cucumber rounds or even in a sandwich or wrap. The possibilities are endless and it’s so yummy, you won’t be able to resist.
3. Flavour and nutrition combine in this melt-in-your-mouth Lemon Blueberry Cake to create an amazing dessert.
Made with love and fresh, high-quality ingredients, this lemon blueberry cake is a true game changer. We truly hope you get a chance to make it, especially if you top it with fresh strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream.
4. This delicious Tofu Chickpea Coconut Curry comes together quickly.
It’s so flavorful that we want to lick the bowl after we each eat two big servings. This tofu chickpea curry recipe has protein, veggies and a few aromatic spices – we guarantee that your mouth and body will be in heaven.
5. These High Protein Energy Bites are delicious and a bit crunchy.
Not too sweet, packed with healthy fats that help keep our brain in tip-top shape, these high protein energy bites are the perfect simple and healthy snack. Whether you’re out and about running errands or attending a get-together with loved ones, these energy bites are a crowd-pleaser.
Portable, loaded with nutritious ingredients and oh-so-tasty, they make for a win-win snack option, so we had to include them on our list of recipes for energy. Make them today! We are certain you won’t regret.
