Anti-Inflammatory Banana Oat Muffins 🧁
These have been my faaaavourite little snack for months now. I make sure I always have them stocked in my freezer.
They’re gut-lovin thanks to the beautiful soluble fibre found in oats, ground flaxseeds and banana (plus any extra goodness you add in the form of nuts and seeds).
Food is a vessel through which love flows 🥣
Human infants are the most vulnerable and require the longest duration of care of all mammals.
Babies requires regular feeding, and when caregivers do so, they support attachment, bonding and love.
Babies get energy from food, turning that energy into love in return.
As we get older, feeding ourselves becomes a form of self-love.
Let's talk about periods and body shame 🪞
Unfortunately we always jump to blaming the female body (thanks patriarchy). We jump to content about “beat the bloat” or “cure your PMS” or “heal your hormones”. And don’t get me wrong, I get it. Finding relief from symptoms is justified.
Why doing body image work is like cleaning out the fridge 🧼
Picture your fridge. On the bottom shelf, pushed right to the back, lies your favourite Tupperware. Inside is that leftover curry that you had two weeks ago. Or could it have been four weeks ago?
You know it’s there. You get a glimpse of it every time you open the fridge door. Every time you unload the groceries, you think “I should really clean that out. I need the space. But I reaaaally don’t want to.” And so you just avoid it. You pretend it doesn’t exist.
Why I don’t say “beat the bloat” 🙊
Beat means to defeat. It insinuates power over or superior to your body. When I talk about soothing your bloating, I want to insinuate working with and caring for your body.
