Slow Cooker Chicken Soup is a comforting, immune-boosting dish that nourishes both body and mind. This recipe is perfect for reducing stress, calming the nervous system, releasing energy, and supporting DNA formation, making it a wonderful choice when you need gentle, healing nourishment. Slow cooking allows the flavors to develop fully while making the chicken incredibly tender and easy to digest, which is especially helpful if you’re managing inflammation or autoimmune conditions.

Chicken is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamin B3, which supports heart health and energy metabolism. The darker meat of the chicken contains twice the amount of zinc and iron compared to the lighter meat, providing added immune support to help your body fight infections and stay strong. Meanwhile, the lighter chicken meat is packed with nutrients essential for building and maintaining strong bones, teeth, and tissues, making this soup a well-rounded source of nourishment.

Using a slow cooker to prepare this chicken soup means you can enjoy a deeply flavorful meal with minimal effort. The long, gentle cooking process draws out collagen and minerals from the bones and connective tissues, which are great for gut health and inflammation reduction. This makes the soup especially beneficial for anyone dealing with autoimmune diseases or chronic inflammation.

Slow Cooker Chicken Soup is not only soothing for your body but also satisfying to your taste buds. It’s a dish that combines healing with comfort, helping you feel calm and supported from the inside out. Whether you’re recovering from illness or simply want to nourish your immune system and reduce inflammation, this soup is a delicious and practical way to support your health every day.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole organic chicken or 4 organic chicken legs
  • 3 large organic carrots
  • 1 organic brown onion
  • 3 organic celery stalks
  • 1 bouquet garni
  • dried thyme
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • vegetable or chicken stock pot (optional)

Directions

  1. Chop the vegetables roughly and trim off the excess fat and skin from the chicken.

  2. Put all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cover all the way to the top with filtered water. Cook for 6-8 hours.

  3. Take the chicken out and remove the bones and skin. Put the chicken meat back in. It is ready to be enjoyed!

Serving Tips

Pairs well with egg noodles for children, or konjac noodles, which have no carbs and are grain-free but full of fiber, for adults.

Or with a Paleo Mini Bread Roll.

Storage Tips

This dish can be prepared in advance. It keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

The Chocolate Collagen Protein Shake is widely regarded as one of the healthiest and most effective protein shakes available. Packed with collagen, protein, and antioxidants, this shake delivers essential nutrients that support skin health, muscle recovery, joint function, and gut lining integrity. Collagen is especially important for maintaining and repairing the gut lining, which helps prevent and heal leaky gut syndrome—a common factor in many food intolerances and immune system dysfunctions. Despite containing fewer than 200 calories per serving, this shake is rich in nutrients, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a nourishing yet low-calorie option.

Many members have found remarkable benefits by swapping their typical afternoon sugar snacks, such as biscuits, sweets, or dairy chocolate, with this Chocolate Collagen Protein Shake. The results speak for themselves: noticeable weight loss, improved skin elasticity, more sustained energy throughout the day, enhanced sleep quality, reduced joint stiffness, stronger nails, and thicker, healthier hair. This transformation highlights how nutrient-dense choices can positively impact overall health and well-being.

In addition to its health benefits, this shake tastes delicious, making it easy to incorporate into daily routines. It serves as an ideal post-workout recovery drink, helping muscles rebuild and reducing inflammation after exercise. It’s also perfect as a quick pick-me-up on busy days when energy levels dip, but healthy nutrition is still a priority.

With its combination of gut-supporting collagen, muscle-repairing protein, and powerful antioxidants, the Chocolate Collagen Protein Shake is a versatile, satisfying, and effective way to support the body’s natural healing processes while enjoying a tasty treat. It’s no wonder so many people have made this shake a staple in their healthy lifestyle.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup or 200ml unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 1 scoop of pasture-fed collagen protein powder
  • 1 heaped tsp of raw cacao
  • Pure stevia to taste
  • 3 ice cubes

Directions

  1. Put all the ingredients in the blender

  2. Blend

  3. Serve!

  4. If you want to thicken this shake, you can add chia seeds or flaxseeds which are both sources of extra fiber and plant-based omega 3. You can also add a banana and a scoop of vegan protein powder. The best flavors for this shake are cappuccino, chocolate, or vanilla. Enjoy!

Every time these Chocolate and Sea Salt Brownies are made, they disappear quickly—everyone loves them! What’s even better is that they taste richer and more indulgent than regular brownies, yet they are completely dairy-free, gluten-free, and grain-free. This makes them a fantastic option for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking for a healthier treat.

The recipe uses ground almonds, which are packed with essential minerals like zinc, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin E. These nutrients play important roles in supporting brain function, skin health, respiratory wellbeing, and cardiovascular support. Ground almonds also help regulate blood sugar levels, making these brownies a smarter choice compared to traditional sugary desserts.

Cocoa, the star ingredient, is not only delicious but also highly beneficial. It protects heart health, boosts the immune system, strengthens the intestinal lining against harmful microorganisms, and helps soothe gastrointestinal discomfort. Adding coconut sugar to the mix further enhances the gut-friendly benefits, as it has natural anti-fungal properties and helps combat unhealthy gut bacteria.

These Chocolate and Sea Salt Brownies are a wonderful guilt-free indulgence that delivers both great flavor and health benefits. You can enjoy every bite knowing you’re treating your body well. Perfect for sharing with family and friends or savoring as a personal treat, these brownies bring deliciousness and nutrition together in one satisfying package. Whether for a snack or dessert, they’re sure to impress and leave you wanting more, all without the usual digestive discomfort or health compromises.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2/3 cup or 80g of ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup or 80g of cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup or 130g of coconut oil
  • 1 1/3 or 200g of coconut sugar
  • sea salt to decorate

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven).

  2. Beat the eggs and add the coconut sugar, followed by the ground almonds and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

  3. Add the melted (but cooled down) coconut oil and the cacao powder, mix gently as the cacoa powder is fine.

  4. Pour in a greased muffin tray (I use coconut oil) lined with baking paper. Bake at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven) for 18 minutes.

  5. Let it cool down and decorate with sea salt flakes.
    Enjoy!! I love having these with a cup of coffee. Total treat but not too naughty.

  6. *if you are allergic to nuts or prefer not to use almond flour (ground almonds) for any other reason, you can replace it with quinoa flour. 80g or 2/3 cup of almond flour can be replaced with 50 g or 2/3 cup of quinoa flour.

Serving Tips

Pair our chocolate and sea salt brownies with:
• Instant Nut Milk
Calm Mind Protein Shake
Healthy Frappuccino

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the individual servings. Place them on a baking sheet, then when fully frozen, remove and place them in the container/bag for up to 3 months.
