Goodness Me Box December

Hello and welcome back, today I wanted to share with you some photos of my December Goodness Me Box - if you not sure what I'm talking about read HERE first!
I am particularly impressed with this months as it has stuff I know I like and have used, stuff that I like the look of and completely new things I'm excited to try!


This is the one that I've never heard of before! It looks like it will be a great addition to my cooking - it has a recipe on the recipe card for savoury balls which surprised me as I thought it was going to be like an oats type of thing! 


Love this company and the fact that there is NO additives to their spreads - the hazelnut one is my favourite of theirs but I'm keen to try this one out, the sesame I think will either be amazing or slightly random - I'll have to report back!


Love this! A month or two back I got a raspberry and chis one of these and I love it! Mango and Passionfruit are my favourite fruits so I know this is going to go down a treat - and again there is no funny stuff added - bonus!


Ahhh coconut powder?! YES please! I always drink coconut water so if this tastes amazing I am going to be one happy camper! Most refreshing thing to drink after a workout! 


Never seen or heard of this but I cant go past a good looking health bar - I always keep a few stashed in my handbag for those starving moments! 


ahhhh my favourite thing to add to salads - this mini size is great too as I can pack it and add to lunches and not have to worry about spillage or sogginess! 


Tea, glorious tea! I am a coffee addict but I do love a good cuppa! I've already had the vitality one and can confirm it is good! It kept my 3pm snack attack at bay so that's a win in my book! I'm yet to try the ginger one but I think this at night may go down a treat.

And there we have it! That's the sort of things you can expect in a Goodness me box if your considering getting one - I love it!
I may do some individual reviews on things if I absolutely think you should rush out and find it!

Recipe: Coconut Chicken and Salad


Hello there, welcome back! Today I have a recipe to share with you that I made last week and it was a hit! It was one of those throw it all together and hope it turns out ok and it did so I wanted to document it to remind myself to make it again!

Coconut Chicken & Salad - Serves 4 people

Ingredients
500 Grams Chicken Strips
1/4 Cup Egg Whites
1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
2 Handfuls Rocket
2 Handfuls Spinach
1/3 Cup Quinoa
(How to cook Quinoa HERE! )
1 Carrot
2 Tablespoons Pine Nuts
1 Apple 
Drizzle of Pomegranate salad dressing



Method:
1: Get out two bowels and fill one with some egg whites and the other with the coconut flour
2: Coat the chicken strips in the egg whites with one hand and the coconut flour with the other hand and place onto a plate
3: Once all covered place into frying pan with olive oil on med to low heat and allow to cook, turning a few times (you don't want the heat too high otherwise it will burn the flour but not cook the chicken!)
4: While the chicken is cooking combine all the salad ingredients into a bowl - you can put anything into the salad you like but I personally find apple and pine nuts go together really well!
5: Cover the salad in dressing of choice - I am obsessed with pomegranate dressing at the moment!
6: Check the chicken is cooked by cutting on in half and making sure there is no sign of pink!
7: Serve up and enjoy!




So as you can see this recipe is SUPER easy and REALLY quick - what more could you want when asked to throw together a meal whilst starving! This is extremely healthy too, with the chicken providing protein and the salad full of vitamins and minerals; it will not only taste good but it will make you feel good too!

Let me know if you go ahead and make this and what you think of it! I like to think of it as a cleaner/healthier version of chicken schnitzel! Coconut flour is becoming more readily available too, but if its not in your local grocery store check out a health store!
