Seedsli – Grain Free Summer Breakfast 🌟

Seedsli is a great alternative to muesli for the grain or gluten challenged and a delightful way to get creative with your breakfast! Seeds are an amazing source of good fats, protein, fibre, essential vitamins and minerals and energy, not to mention packed with flavour. This recipe is simple to put together and will keep in a sealed jar for up to several weeks. It makes approx 4 cups, is gluten free, coeliac, and grain free.

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup each of: unhulled sesame seeds, pepitas, sunflower seeds, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, buckwheat groats (or whatever seeds you have to hand to a total of 3 cups)
  • ½ cup slivered or chopped almonds, toasted and cooled
  • ½ cup coconut flakes, toasted and cooled
  • 1 generous teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 vanilla pod, split (optional)
  • ½ cup puffed quinoa (optional, but a very tasty addition)
  • ¼ cup dried fruit (optional)

Method:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well to ensure cinnamon flavour is well distributed.
  2. Place vanilla pod into a large jar and top up with seeds.
  3. Allow to stand for a few days, with an occasional shake so the vanilla flavour infuses through the Seedsli giving it a delicious aroma and flavour.
  4. Serve with fruit and yogurt, your favourite nut milk, on top of stewed fruit, or make it into a crumble topping with a crunchy, healthy difference. You can even just have it as a tasty snack on its own. For best nutritional results, soak it overnight in a little water or milk before consuming

Scrambled Tofu

This is a totally different breakfast alternative to the usual eggs on toast. Scrambled tofu is a simple to prepare, tasty, warming meal that is hard to get wrong. You can serve it with whatever you like, as part of a big breakfast with mushrooms, bacon spinach, etc. We’ll leave it to your imagination. Of course, your vegan, vegetarian or allergy prone friends will love you for having a different option to eggs!

Serves 2 people or 4 with accompaniments

Ingredients:

  • Approx. 250 grams firm tofu
  • Tamari
  • 6 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried turmeric (or 2 teaspoons fresh)
  • Half of a long green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 large-ish whole tomatoes, diced
  • 1 big handful each of basil and parsley, roughly chopped

Method:

  1. Mash the tofu with a fork and sprinkle with tamari until most of the top layer is brown.
  2. Toss onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric (and chilli if using) into a hot frypan with a little water. Gently stir-fry for approx. 3-4 minutes.
  3. Push this mix to the edges of the pan, add the tofu and stir-fry for 5-10 minutes until a little browned. Once cooked to your liking, stir the onions back in and add the tomatoes.
  4. Cook this mix at least until the whole thing is hot. For a wetter scramble cook for a shorter time, for a dry scramble cook a little longer.
  5. Stir through basil and parsley.
  6. Serve on great heavy sour dough and you’ll be full for hours!

Vary this recipe easily by: adding pine nuts, coriander, other grated vegetables like pumpkin or carrot – just use your imagination. Tofu is very accepting!

Kerry’s Baked Ricotta

Kerry’s Baked Ricotta sounds hot, but the ricotta is baked then cooled and kept for numerous breakfast or snack creations in the days ahead. “The creamy baked sweetness of ricotta pairs beautifully with toasty seeds and coconut, with crispy apples and banana cutting through to make a real statement breakfast. I couldn’t resist a sliver of my local sourdough bakery’s fruit loaf to stack it all on. Unbelievably delicious!” Kerry

Perfect during preconception, pregnancy and post birth. Soft cheese is safe during pregnancy if thoroughly cooked.

Serves 1, with leftover ricotta.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 a banana
  • 1/4 a red apple, skin on, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon shredded coconut, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons mixed seeds or slivered nuts
  • 1/2 a banana sliced
  • 1/2 lemon or maple syrup
  • 1 slice sourdough fruit toast (optional)

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 200°C
Break up fresh ricotta into small chunks.
Place on a large piece of foil.
Drizzle with honey (or maple syrup) and olive oil
Push ricotta back together and form into a nice round or square shape.
Wrap ricotta in foil and bake for about 20 minutes – if you peek in the foil it will be bubbly and soft. Then open up the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes or so to get a golden crust.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. (You could eat it right away, all soft and crumbly on toast – or bake it the night before and eat it cold for breakfast).
Toast your bread, seeds or nuts and coconut.
Pile your ricotta on toast or or simply top with the fruit, nuts and/or seeds and finally, coconut.
Drizzle with a little lemon juice or maple syrup for extra indulgence.

Ricotta will last several days in the fridge and can be added to a salad, a sandwich – anything really.

MA’s July 2021 love letter

July 2021 Love Letter

Welcome to MA’s July 2021 Love Letter. We’ve been receiving MA’s monthly love letters from The Melbourne Apothecary since the beginning of 2020. These letters contain links to a variety of life enhancing freebies that our fabulous practitioners are constantly creating to help you cope during COVID and beyond.

The letters are also a fantastic and charismatic resource that share all the goings on within both The MA and Fertile Ground. So we thought we’d best share them with you here so that you can join in and receive the monthly intel from our delightful and ever wisdomous MA. Please enjoy.

Hello hello,

I hope this July 2021 love letter finds you healthy, warm and feeling loved. Word on my MA vine is that there are 2 wonderful projects beginning to blossom in our town. I would love to invite you to be a part of either one in whatever capacity you like.

These projects really align with my desire to help to enrich our community, enhance collaboration, and support sustainability (because as I’m sure you’re aware, there is no Planet B).

Project 1 – Brilliantly Upcycled Beautiful Baby Apparel
(or BUBBA for short)

This is an initiative brought to you by the wonderful minds of the Fertile Ground Health Group team. The way it works is that everyone is welcome to bring in and donate any beautiful baby apparel that they no longer need (for newborns – apparel to suit up to 12 month old babies). This apparel will all then be available for any patients of Fertile Ground to take and use for their budding family.

This is an opportunity for you to either share apparel you no longer need, or receive lovely new baby apparel with and from people who not only share your health values but have also likely shared some similar struggles as you too.

By being a part of this initiative in any way you will be contributing not only to a circular economy (less waste), but also to rampant happiness on all sides.

If you would like to donate baby apparel, please drop it into the reception team at Fertile Ground when you’re next nearby. Feel free to write a little love note to accompany your clothes – we will be sure to pass it on.  And if you’d like to pick up free upcycled baby apparel for your growing family, please ask at Fertile Ground’s reception when you’re next in too.

Project 2 – Shared Holistic Health Library

You may have noticed the gorgeous library of health, fertility and self help books that lives on the wall of the upstairs waiting room at Fertile Ground. 

Did you know that it’s a shared library? Meaning – you are most welcome to take a book or two, read them and bring them back/keep them when you’re done. You’re also welcome to add any health / fertility / pregnancy / baby / self help related books you have at home that you wish to recirculate into the community. Take a wander through the Holistic Health Library next time you’re in.

MA’s love letters – June 2021

MA Love Letter June 2021

We’ve been receiving MA’s monthly love letters from The Melbourne Apothecary since the beginning of 2020. These letters contain links to a variety of life enhancing freebies that our fabulous practitioners are constantly creating to help you cope during COVID and beyond.

The letters are also a fantastic and charismatic resource that share all the goings on within both The MA and Fertile Ground. So we thought we’d best share them with you here so that you can join in and receive the monthly intel from our delightful and ever wisdomous MA. Please enjoy.

Hello and a wonderful crisp sunny June to you!

I feel really thrilled to write to you this month (ahem – I feel thrilled every month actually because I just LOVE connecting with you about my favourite thing – health 🥳 ). I have 3 fabulous things to share.

Free preconception series
Firstly, this month Sage King, one of our expert fertility Naturopaths, has put together a 6 part article series designed to help you navigate your fertility journey and create your Fertility Plan. And what a wealth of information this is. I have had the privilege of sneak peeking a couple of Sage’s articles and I can tell you they are off ⚓️ the ⚓️ hook ⚓️ with information about options to proceed and succeed when creating your healthy family 💕

The way Sage writes is so comprehensive AND YET so digestible and clear. Find out more about what this series covers and then go ahead and register to receive all the freebies.

World Environment Day
Saturday the 5th of June is World Environment Day 💕 🌏 💕 This day is designed to encourage awareness and action for the protection of the environment – which is SO glorious!🦚🐍🦧🦩🦥🕸🦜🐊🦓🦔🦙🐇🦕

I recently watched David Attenborough’s latest film, ‘A Life on This Planet’. It was completely motivating and deeply eye opening  👀  beyond the level that my plant farming, naturopathic, chemically free, environment loving eyes have been opened before…

The result? We started a Sustainability Action Group at Fertile Ground and The MA – SAG for short (because SAGging is what my heart ♥ does when I think of the health of our planet and what will happen if we, personally and as a community, don’t take greater responsibility for our daily actions that contribute to the devastation of this world).

Fertile Ground and The Melbourne Apothecary already have deep values of sustainability and supporting climate action ✨ 🌏 💓 however after watching this film📽we stirred into even greater action to identify all the ways that we must DO BETTER in the clinic – our revised mission being helping people to make healthy babies — AND a healthy planet for them to live on!

So please see our MA instagram posts to check out what we’re identifying and changing in the clinic to do better ourselves, and perhaps you’ll find some motivation and inspiration therefor things you can do at home to help healthify the planet even more too♥️

Food cravings?
The third thing I want to touch on is food cravings. It’s lockdown again here in Melbourne, and if you’re a person you are likely feeling emotions about that.😧😪😶😡😩🤨🧐🤯

Many of us use food as an emotional buffer🧀🌭🍕🥖🍔🥞🍫🍷

When things get a bit emotionally intense (hello the last 1+ years of COVID…)it’s a good idea to get some support around healthy eating ESPECIALLY if you know that you have a relationship with food that you’d like to change for the better, or one that becomes topsy turvy during stress.

Read this bang on article from Jane Holland, our MA holistic nutritionist, all about diving under the surface of food cravings. Remember that Jane is available for free 10 minute consults to you if you want to connect with her and find out how you can begin to create a healthier relationship with your food.
