Lemon Tahini Dressing

Salads need never be boring again with this zesty lemon tahini dressing. Simply add all the ingredients, shake them up, and you’re ready to go. Tahini is a soft paste made from sesame seeds. These seeds may be tiny but they pack a punch when it comes to nutrition. Sesamol, the active ingredient in sesame seeds, inhibits inflammatory pathways in the body and has been shown to have therapeutic potential against inflammatory diseases, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders (Javed et al, 2023). Alongside sesamol, sesame seeds provide plenty of calcium, magnesium, selenium, phosphorus, and copper – essential minerals for energy production, bone health, hormone balance, and more. Fresh lemon juice balances the nutty taste of tahini to make this the perfect uplifting dressing for fish, chicken, and salads of all kinds.

Pair Lemon Tahini Dressing with:

Chicken Salad Crab Cakes Lettuce and Avocado Salad

Breakfast Collagen Banana Muffins

Our collagen banana muffins are the perfect option for a quick breakfast. Suitable from Week 2 of the 6-Week Reset, each muffin contains 8g of protein to support blood sugar regulation and energy levels at the start of your day.

Collagen powder, eggs, and ground almonds provide protein, while bananas are packed with prebiotic fibers. Prebiotic foods nourish beneficial gut flora and support a healthy, diverse gut microbiome.

Cinnamon is a powerful antioxidant spice, known to improve insulin sensitivity and blood glucose regulation (Wang et al., 2021). The flavor balances the sweet bananas and complements the slightly bitter taste of walnuts.

Enjoy these muffins for breakfast or a healthy snack any time of the day.

Made with ground almonds and coconut sugar, these muffins are naturally gluten-free and won’t spike your blood sugars like conventional baked goods do.

Fiber from carrots and bananas also helps to regulate blood sugar levels. Dark chocolate chips add a touch of indulgence and all-important anti-inflammatory antioxidants. Our banana, carrot, and chocolate chip muffins are perfect for packed lunches or a healthy snack any day of the week!

Pair these muffins with:

What makes these protein muffins so good?

Antioxidant-rich blueberries and lemon zest give a sweet flavor and moist texture, while fiber from apple sauce and ground almonds nourishes your gut microbiome. The eggs and protein powder support healthy blood-sugar management. These protein muffins are suitable for the Candida protocol if you have intense sugar cravings or as a delicious treat on the cancer prevention and recovery protocol. They are also a great option if you fancy something sweet or for a healthy breakfast on the go!

Calm Mind Protein Shake

At EBS we believe a healthy mind comes from a healthy gut. Our Calm Mind Protein Shake provides a sense of calm by nourishing your gut and giving your brain the nutritional building blocks it needs for healthy mood balance.

Protein powder and nut milk both provide essential amino acids used to make calming neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA. But did you know that 90% of serotonin is made in your gut? This is yet another reason why a healthy gut supports a healthy mind.

Along with these amino acids, key nutrients like vitamin B6 and magnesium also support neurotransmitters. The frozen banana is a great source of both these nutrients, as well as fiber to nourish the gut microbiome.

Orange blossom helps the nervous system relax, regulate emotions, and release anxiety and tension.

Saffron has powerful mood-lifting properties and is known to be as effective at alleviating depression as medications like Fluoxetine (Siddiqui et al, 2018).

You can enjoy the Calm Mind Protein Shake at any time of day but it is particularly good in the evening when you want to wind down before bed.
