HEALTHY SNACKS 1

  

 Our last 'Springing into Spring' post was so popular we have decided to bring you a few healthy recipe ideas to keep your snacking guilt free (and delicious)!

We are totally in love with the blog A Lil Less Sugar, a clean eating inspo hub created by our model Sarah, we are stealing her healthy ideas and re-creating them right here at Unwritten HQ!

We had lots of enquiry after our Orange & Poppyseed muffin pic, so here is the recipe!

• 1 tbs poppy seeds
• 3/4 cup milk (Of your preference. We use skim, light soy or unsweetned almond milk to keep it healthy)
• 2 cups coconut flour
• 1/2 cup wholemeal self raising flour
• 3/4 cup Stevia (you can substitute for half a cup of honey and 1/4 cup of Stevia if you aren't a Stevia fan)
• 125g butter, melted (we used half olive oil spread and half coconut oil)
• 2 eggs lightly whisked
• 3 tsp finely shredded orange rind
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice 
  
  METHOD
• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 190°C. Brush twelve 1/3-cup capacity non-stick muffin pans with melted butter to lightly grease. Combine the poppy seeds and 1/4 cup of the milk in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes.
   
• Step 2
  Combine the flour and Stevia in a large bowl. Add the poppy-seed mixture along with remaining milk, butter, egg,s orange rind and juice and stir with a metal spoon until just combined (don't overmix).
• Step 3
  Spoon the batter among prepared muffin pans. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centres comes out clean. Remove from oven and turn onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature (and add Jalna Vanilla Yoghurt and strawberries like we did!)

SPRINGING INTO SPRING!

The feeling at Unwritten HQ can only be described as excitement at the moment. So many new arrivals are being delivered every week and they are SO colourful! Our first drops of Spring pieces have just landed today! You can check them out at www.unwrittenclothing.com.au

Those of you that know me will know that I am NOT a Winter person. It's cold (yes, I know you can snuggle under a mink blanket but it's just not the same!!), it's much more tempting to over-indulge in fatty foods and lollies and also WAY more tempting to stay in front of the heater than get up and go for a run.
BUT!
I have some news Aussie gals...THERE IS ONLY 17 DAYS UNTIL SPRING! Yep, that's right! And some of our followers from Northern Australia will be feelin' the heat already.

I went for a run this morning the smell of Spring was in the air. You know the smell - fresh cut grass and that new flower smell on the breeze that has lost it's chill. The weather is warming, gatherings are getting more regular, hemlines are getting shorter, the razor is going to be friends with our legs quite regularly again and the sweet smell of fake tan will fill our bathrooms.
It's only going to be a few weeks until the Bikini, towel and ipod will be making a come back to the beaches! Never fear, I am here to give you some motivation! It's time to eat clean, work out and get lean! Have fun with it - make it an excuse to catch up with friends you wouldn't normally after work, go for a walk, do some yoga on the beach, get out in the sun and smile (have on sold you on how much more fun Spring & Summer are!?)

Here are a few of Unwritten's favourite Spring inspo pics, you can head to our Pinterest & We Heart It pages for more!

Fairground's geometric prints are to die for, and who can pass them up in classic monochrome!? Add a pop of colour to any black and white look and you have gone from staple-classic to super fun! Pair these looks with ankle boots for a casual weekend lunch or heels and a blazer for a night out on the town!
