Love this healthy no sugar added Sangria recipe with Rose wine.

Using a qood quality rose wine, add sliced  peaches, nectarines and basil.
I think you could also add some fizzy mineral water too if you wished.
What a great alternative version to the traditional Sangria for a Summer evening drink.

Is the miserable wet weather making you crave carbs? Try this low carb healthy lasagne made with slices of butternut squash instead of traditional lasagne pasta sheets

Is the miserable wet weather making you crave carbs?

Try this low carb healthy lasagne made with slices of butternut squash instead of traditional lasagne pasta sheets.
Make the beef or veggie mince however you wish and alternate layers of the squash slices as you would when making lasagne.
You could also add layers of grated cheese and white sauce if you like to make it more like a proper lasagne.
I have used a mixture of cheeses on the top to make a lovely melted cheese crusty top.
Yummy!

A quick amd easy healthy Summer lowcarb and protein homecooked meal #courgettes #spaghettibolognese Spiralise the courgettes with your spiraliser

A quick amd easy healthy Summer lowcarb and protein homecooked meal 

Spiralise the courgettes with your spiraliser. My courgettes are homegrown from my veg patch. Very proud! 
Slow cook the beef mince together with chopped onions, garlic, tomato passata and seasoning in a slow cooker for a few hours before you're ready to assemble and eat. The juices should all have reduced so the mince os browned and sauce is reduced and thickened.

Shallow fry the courgettes very quickly in a little olive oil so they remain firm

Add the mince mixture to your serving of courgetti spaghetti and grate a generous portion of Parmesan cheese over the top.

A low-carb, wheat-free recipe for crab pasta using spiralized courgettes instead of spaghetti

A low-carb, wheat-free recipe for crab pasta using spiralized courgettes instead of spaghetti.

Spiralize the courgettes.
Then saute in coconut oil or olive oil some onion, garlic, chopped red chillies, adding salt and pepper until soft and translucent.
Then finally add the spiralized courgettes, courgette flowers, and crab meat. This only needs cooking quickly as you dont want it to go too soft or mushy.
Finish off with some parsley.
A quick and easy low csrb and protein healthy meal!

Starting the day with protein and low carbs is better for you than cereals or fruit

Starting the day with protein and low carbs is better for you than cereals or fruit.

Start your day with a protein and low carb breakfast for maintaing energy levels throughout the morning. Having fruit or fruit juice on its own turns straight to sugar. If you want fruit then I suggest eating it with some protein such as Greek yoghurt or walnuts. This helps stop the fruit turning straight to sugar and giving you a false sugar energy high and low. 
Wait to have your breakfast or first meal of the day at least 12 hours after your last meal of the previous day. This will help sustain weightloss and give your digestive system a rest.

Poached eggs with avocado, crispy bacon, tomatos and a swirl of balsamic vinegar.

A healthy simple light lunch for a hot Summer's day, shown here from oven to plate.

Place kale first in a baking dish and lay a boned and filleted wild sea bass fillet on the top. I also added some fennel.
The fish is seasoned with olive oil salt pepper and lemon.
The kale is also sprinkled with olive oil or if you wish, coconut oil.
Bake for about 15 minutes.
A delicious, low carb and healthy meal!

A healthy iced coffee poolside

A healthy iced coffee poolside.

Fancy an icecream or a traditional iced coffee which are both full of sugar?
Instead you could make an expresso coffee and then put it in your blender or nutribullet with crushed ice and extra water. It will froth up and appear like a traditional iced coffee but with no calories or sugar.
Perfect and healthy for a hot day!
