BREAKFAST BURRITO BOWL RECIPE
8 / JANUARY / 2025
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Servings: 2
INGREDIENTS
- 4 eggs, scrambled
- 200g chorizo, sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup black beans, cooked
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- Salsa and sour cream for topping
METHOD
- Dice the avocado and set it aside.
- If your black beans and quinoa aren’t already cooked, start by cooking them according to package directions. Drain and rinse the beans if using canned ones, and fluff the quinoa once it’s done cooking.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced chorizo.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is crispy and browned on the edges. Remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside, leaving some of the flavorful oil in the pan.
- In the same skillet with the leftover oil from the chorizo, add the cooked black beans.
- Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until warmed through. Season with a pinch of salt if desired. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them together until smooth, and then pour them into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set but still soft and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the cooked quinoa evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with scrambled eggs, crispy chorizo, warmed black beans, and diced avocado.
- Add your favorite salsa on top of the bowl, adjusting the amount to your taste.
- Finish with a dollop of sour cream to bring it all together.

Servings: 24 cookies (depending on the size of the dough balls you roll)
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Chilling Time: 1 hour (optional but recommended for easier handling)
Baking Time: 10-12 minutes
Cooling Time: 15-20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
For the cookies:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa/cacao powder (unsweetened)
- ¼ cup protein powder (plant-based, collagen, or bone broth protein - I love @mitchells.nz)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup softened coconut oil or butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp peppermint extract
- 1-2 tsp monk fruit extract or stevia (to taste)
For the filling:
- ½ cup unsweetened dark chocolate chips (sugar-free for keto)
- 1 tbsp coconut cream (or heavy cream)
- Optional: Crushed sugar-free peppermint candies for garnish
METHOD
Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened coconut oil (or butter) until smooth.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and monk fruit or stevia to the wet mixture. Adjust sweetness to taste, as these sweeteners can vary in intensity.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water or almond milk.
Shape and Bake:
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the centre of each cookie. Or use a cute little cookie mould for extra Christmas vibes.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are just set and firm to the touch.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before adding the filling.
Make the Filling:
- In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut cream (or heavy cream) over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and glossy.
Fill + Decorate:
- Spoon the melted chocolate into the indentations of the cooled cookies.
- If desired, sprinkle crushed sugar-free peppermint candies on top while the chocolate is still warm.
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or chill them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze them to enjoy later.

No Fuss Probiotic Dressing Recipe
NO FUSS PROBIOTIC DRESSING RECIPE
23 / OCTOBER / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Dressings have to be one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to healthy eating. You can have the most splendidly nourishing meal in front of you that ends up being completely ruined by the sauce or dressing poured on it.
This isn’t just because of the sugar content in a lot of them, it’s actually the s33d oils like canola oil, vegetable oil, rapeseed oil, etc that are super inflammatory for our body, causing stress on our gut health and contributing to hormonal issues (from period pain to mood swings).
It may seem like such a small thing, but you think about it. If you have a sauce or dressing even with one meal each day, it accumulates overtime.
Remember the body keeps a score!
Which is why I loved this recipe from Clover Ferments (my go-to probiotic fermented drink), their drinks make for the most amazing gut reset too by the way - and they have given me a special discount code for you - ‘SHEREE10’ to take 10% off your order!
You can find out all the beautiful benefits of these gut healing drinks in a podcast episode we did with the owner here too.
Dressing recipe below - the best part is, you just have to shake it in a jar and it’s done!
INGREDIENTS + METHOD
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Clover
- Ferments Blend Kvass
- 1 tsp. dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper
Optional: add 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for a little extra zing
Method:
1. Place all ingredients in a jar and shake

Thai Beef Salad Recipe
THAI BEEF SALAD WITH MANGO AND MINT RECIPE
25 / SEPTEMBER / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Servings: 4
INGREDIENTS
- 500g sirloin steak, grilled to preference
- 1 mango, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Handful of fresh mint leaves
For the Dressing:
- 3 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp honey
METHOD
- Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the sirloin steak with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
- Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preferred level of doneness. Once done, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Peel and slice the mango into thin strips.
- Julienne the cucumber into thin matchsticks & halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Tear the fresh mint leaves into smaller pieces - this will release their aroma.
- After the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain. This ensures tender slices that are easy to chew.
- In a large salad bowl or on individual plates, layer the sliced mango, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and mint leaves and arrange the sliced steak on top of the salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad evenly, ensuring all the ingredients are lightly coated, then toss the salad gently to combine all the flavours.
- Enjoy!
