HEART-HEALTHY NUTS AND CHRISTMAS GRANOLA

December 4, 2015 1 Comment

We’ve made no secret of our passion for nuts – many of our recipes include a sprinkle of toasted nuts or a slug of almond butter. We’re not alone: our almond butter dipping sauce is one of our most shared and pinned recipes on social media. When it comes to ageing well, nuts are one…

FEWER WRINKLES? YES PLEASE! AND CHIA SEED PARFAIT

September 25, 2015 6 Comments

Kale & Cocoa isn’t about how we’re ageing on the outside – we’re all about eating well to reduce our risk of age-related illnesses. But if a healthy diet in midlife means fewer wrinkles then BRING IT ON! If you’ve read recent posts, you’ll know that I suffered a fracture in the summer and have…

July 3, 2015 8 Comments

Ever felt that deep yearning to be out in the wild?  If you have, you’re not alone.  If you haven’t, it’s time to tune in.  There’s now a huge body of medical evidence proving that being with wildlife keeps you healthier and happier.  I write this as a committed Londoner who frequently feels a deep…

WHY EXERCISE WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE – AND SWEET POTATO BEAN CAKES

May 15, 2015 2 Comments

At Kale & Cocoa our aim is to eat well and age well. So far, so good.  But we know that eating well is only half the battle when it comes to ageing well. Exercise is absolutely key too – an article published by John Hopkins University in the U.S. described it as ‘the universal…

IS SUGAR THE NEW TOBACCO? DATES ON TOAST

March 27, 2015 3 Comments

A few weeks ago, the World Health Organisation cut its recommendated daily sugar intake by 50%.  Whoa! If that’s not an acknowledgment of the dangers of sugar, please can someone tell me what is? The WHO now recommends no more than 6 teaspoons (25 g) of sugar a day.  To put this in context, a…

SMOOTHIES, SMOOTHIES, SMOOTHIES

February 20, 2015 4 Comments

I came late to the smoothie craze. In fact, by the time I’d really noticed it is a thing, doctors and nutritionists were warning us off them – citing sugar spikes and rotting teeth as payback for too many fruit-filled smoothies. If only I could make my own, I sighed, and pack in some veg,…

WILL CARBOHYDRATES KILL ME? WHOLEGRAINS AND MILLET PANCAKES

January 23, 2015 4 Comments

To carb or not to carb, that is the question – particularly when it comes to age-related, degenerative disease. The battle lines are being drawn in the fight for our health. If that sounds melodramatic, bear with me. The traditional view of our nutritional needs is encapsulated in the NHS-approved food pyramid, with plentiful portions…

HEALTHY AGEING RESOLUTIONS – KALE & BLACK SESAME RICE BOWL

January 2, 2015 10 Comments

Over the last few days I’ve been thinking about healthy ageing resolutions for 2015.  Nothing drastic – no crash dieting or fasting for me! But after reviewing the medical findings of last year, two in particular stood out. Firstly, the report that found a Mediterranean diet to be more effective than a low-fat diet for…

OATS, GLORIOUS OATS – AND A RECIPE FOR SUPER-SPEEDY NO-BAKE GRANOLA

November 6, 2014 3 Comments

I’ve always longed to be the sort of girl who wafts around making her own granola. Yes, I know making granola is neither arduous nor complicated.  But it often seems a faff – you have to turn the oven on in advance, then you have to hang around while it’s baking, gently prodding and turning….

BOOST YOUR BRAIN HEALTH – BEST-EVER BLACKBERRY MUFFINS

September 27, 2014 6 Comments

Not only is it blackberry season but it’s also World Alzheimer Month (bet you didn’t know that!). Last week saw the publication of the 2014 World Alzheimer Report from London’s King’s College.  Encouragingly, the report says the risk of dementia can be reduced if we control diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Diabetes…
