Chocolate-mallow Protein Bars
Deb
Plus fruit gummies and other variations. Suitable for Paleo, GAPS, Clean Eating, low sugar We first started making this protein slice a few years ago, as a way to make cod liver oil a more palatable supplement. One of our customers came up with the prototype recipe, and I’ve tweaked it a few ways since. Here’s the original recipe complete with cod liver oil. If you leave the cod liver oil out, it becomes a […]
Meat jerky, with vegetables and without sugar!
Deb
Jerky is a very convenient and portable snack, but bought versions nearly always have sugar in them. This version has no sugar and has the added goodness of vegetables, to make it a more balanced snack. Suitable for GAPS, SCD, Paleo, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, low carb or other whole food diets. Although it’s obviously no good for vegetarian readers, I’ll suggest some options at the end. Ingredients These amounts are approximate; […]
Warming Soup for Fall (Autumn) or Winter
Deb
A good way to utilise the bounty of warming vegetables from your late summer garden. If you’re doing any dietary protocol that encourages bone broths, here is a tasty way to have your daily soup. This recipe is compatible with any whole food diet including Paleo, GAPS, SCD, and is gluten, grain and dairy free. It’s not vegetarian, as the nourishment of the bone broth is one of the important healing benefits of it. But […]
Using up the summer bounty of FEIJOAS (Smoothie recipe)
Deb
For a few weeks every summer, anyone in New Zealand with a feijoa tree has more of them than they know what to do with, including members of our family. So we regularly bring home way more than we can eat before they go off. This recipe is GAPS friendly, Paleo, grain free, sugar free and can be made dairy free. We’ve found an EASY way to store them for winter. Just throw a bag of […]
Gummy Bears
Deb
Stacey from New Zealand blog “My Kids Lick the Bowl” posted some fabulous fruit Gummy Bear recipes yesterday. There are six different recipes, so you can create a rainbow of bears (or whatever other molds you might already have) – white, green, yellow, orange, red or purple. Go check them out! And while you’re there, check out her other kid friendly recipes. If you’re on GAPS or another special diet, not all of the recipes […]
AIP-Friendly Mousse
Deb
This is suitable for most diet types, but I originally developed it for someone doing AIP. 1 x 400ml can coconut milk or cream (choose one with as few additives as possible. In NZ, we use TCC or Ayam brands) 1/4 cup collagen hydrolysate eg Great Lakes green can (if you don’t have hydrolysate, see gelatin version below) Flavourings of choice Shake the coconut milk can well. Put the coconut milk, then everything else, in a blender […]
Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) protocol
Deb
I am currently catering for someone who is doing the Autoimmune Paleo protocol as described in the book The Paleo Approach by Sarah Ballentyne. There are many bloggers who do a great job of exploring this issue, so I’m not going to reinvent the wheel. This website also has a comprehensive list of what’s allowed. I also like this simple overview picture from the Wellness Mama. Now that you’ve got a rough idea of what is […]
Lamb’s fry (Liver) recipes
Deb
Allow about 100g (4 oz) per person. Remove the membrane, if it’s still there. Slice very thinly. Panfry in melted butter (or ghee, coconut oil, or meat fat) for a couple of minutes each side, till lightly browned and just cooked through. Don’t overcook or it will become bitter and tough. Serve with tomatoes pan-fried in butter, and either buttered toast or leftover starchy veges from last night’s dinner. Liver and bacon If you’re a […]
Mix & Match Smoothie
Deb
This smoothie can be adapted to use different bases. Zizz all together in a blender and enjoy. Remember to sip slowly and “chew” it. (For AIP, you might not be able to use all of the combinations) (If you’re in NZ and looking for sources, some of these products are available through our Nature Foods online store, and are linked to for your convenience. If there’s anything else you can’t find, ask us.) Your base […]
Potato or kumera (sweet potato) chippies (crisps)

Brush with melted butter mixed with olive oil, or melted coconut oil, or lard. Toss with some sea salt. Lay on an oven tray in a single layer Bake at 175C (350F) for about 45 minutes till crunchy but not too brown. Every […]
Lemony kidneys
Deb
Kidneys must be very fresh, and preferably from organic, grass fed animals. 2-3 lambs kidneys, per person lemon juice butter, ghee or other “good” fat of choice salt and pepper arrowroot (optional) If the kidneys still have a skin on them, peel that off. But leave the knob of fat on the underside, this is very nourishing. Cut each kidney into quarters, and put them all into a bowl or jug. Cover with lemon juice, […]
