Healthy Fish and Chips!

Who doesn't love a good fish and chips right?! I live by the sea and there are so many fish and chip shops around being an English country town so I did some research and found a healthy version of battered fish. 

Of course I had to give it a try and it was honestly better than the fatty battered fish they serve in those shops as I find the amount of grease that you find at the bottom of the paper is not great to say the least! Plus you could actually taste and appreciate the fish with this recipe!

Then I had a thought that it wouldn't be right to serve these delicious healthy fish fillets with unhealthy chips- Enter sweet potato fries! The perfect nutritional alternative to normal potato chips. 


Serves 4

Sweet Beet Raw Juice

This recipe below I fell into by chance with the leftovers from my Green raw juice. This was my added extra experiment juice- but boy does it rank up there with my green juice!


I'm okay to admit that I am not the biggest beetroot fan. I mean I can eat it if it is in small quantities but in this juice I could hardly taste it and it gave the juice an amazing vivid colour that looks so appetising!

Spinach and Nutmeg Gratin

If you are hosting a meal for a group this is an excellent choice as you can prep this meal before and once it is cooked it is ready to serve! Crowd pleaser indeed- I have been asked for repeat of this ever since I brought it out the first dinner party.

The nutmeg spice in the gratin really compliments the egg and cheese in the recipe. Gluten free and sugar free recipe of course. Try and see for yourself. I serve it with a full salad and you will hear rave reviews- trust me!



Serves 4-6 depending on appetites.

First time Sushi Making

It was only a matter of time before I had to try and make my own sushi because I love the stuff! Where I live now there is no where to get any 'real' fresh sushi that doesn't come pre-packaged. 

This is was the last resort so I tried it and it was such a success!! In fact I was loving it so much that I didn't even realise one of family was asking me a question while I was eating it (official food heaven! Ha.)

I decided to stick with my favourite basic ingredients in hand rolls- avocado and salmon! The rice that I used was also brown rice. I know this is not traditional to use brown rather white but brown is a lot better for you than the sticky white rice.

Roasted Herbed Carrot Ribbon Spaghetti

I am constantly looking for quick and tasty dinner ideas that are not to heavy. I love carrot at the moment and thought how can I mix up the taste and cooking method, instead of the traditional chopped streamed carrots. Enter carrot ribbons!

So easy to do and the same prep time to make the ribbons than the normal steamed vegetables.



Perfect for all of you gluten- free and vegans out there who are looking for an alternative to spaghetti pasta. Here is the recipe!

New Year: New Recipes!

So Clean Foodie is back with a vengeance after having a crazily busy festive period of working (my normal job) and squeezing in time to see my friends and family!

I have a week off from my job and thought what is more perfect than having fun finding inspiration for new healthy and delicious recipes for you to enjoy! Of course there are some perks to doing "research and creating recipes" and you guessed it- eating them! It is not only me that have been enjoying these perks, my family have been well fed so far thats for sure.

Whilst creating new recipes in the kitchen this week!

I have realised that I have not actually put my face to Clean Foodie Guide on the blog yet so this is me above in the kitchen experimenting (probably excited to make something yummy!)


So its that time of year that everyone gets reflective and re-evaluates their own lifestyle/ health/ diet... Am I right?! Most of our New Years resolutions
