I have been making this banana bread recipe for my kids for years and they still love it. It is simple to make, full of nutritious ingredients and tastes yummy. It really hits the spot when you fancy something cakey and sweet.

Just pop all the following ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined. Pour into a loaf tin lined with baking paper and cook at 180 (160 fan) for 55 minutes. Alternatively you can pour the mixture into 12 muffin cases and bake for 25-30 minutes - great for a quick breakfast on the go or packed lunch boxes.

All measurements are in grams so you can pop a bowl onto a small set of digital scales and weigh out easily...

220g wholemeal flour
70g olive oil
140g maple syrup
2 eggs
200g mashed ripe banana
60g semi skimmed milk
1tsp baking soda (not baking powder)
1tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Studies have shown that coffee can exacerbate hormonal imbalances. It can increase oestrogen levels when they are high (pre ovulation) but decrease oestrogen levels when they are low (post ovulation or during the menopause). Interestingly both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee have the same effect.

If you are suffering with hormonal imbalances including PMS and menopausal symptoms you might like to consider reducing your coffee consumption.

Are you struggling with anxiety or low mood?

Each thought, action and emotion involves communication between brain cells, triggered by chemicals called NEUROTRANSMITTERS. Examples include serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline.

Nutrients (vitamins and minerals) found in food provide the primary raw materials for the production and breakdown of neurotransmitters.

When the body is deficient in any one of the 23 essential nutrients neurotransmitter levels can become TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW resulting in symptoms such as low mood, anxiety, irritability, lack of focus or motivation, and hyperactivity.

In order to support optimal neurotransmitter activity and therefore optimal mental health it is essential to eat a full and balanced diet.

If you would like further advice about how you can support your mental health with nutrition please send me a message...
