Slow Cooker Chicken Soup
Add to Favourites list
Nutrition
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.

Chocolate and Sea Salt Brownies
Add to Favourites list
Nutrition
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
Preheat your oven at 350 F / 175 C (fan oven).
Beat the eggs and add the coconut sugar, followed by the ground almonds and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Add the melted (but cooled down) coconut oil and the cacao powder, mix gently as the cacoa powder is fine.
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.
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.*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.

• Instant Nut Milk
• Calm Mind Protein Shake
• Healthy Frappuccino
