TACO RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 lbs (900g) pork shoulder
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup (240ml) gluten-free BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup (120ml) gluten-free chicken broth
- Corn tortillas
- Coleslaw for topping
If you want to make your own coleslaw you’ll need:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage (green or a mix of green and purple)
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you want to make a healthy BBQ sauce you’ll need:
- 1 cup tomato puree (or passata)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1-2 tbsp natural sweetener (like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener)
METHOD FOR TACOS:
- Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder if necessary. Slice the onion into thin rings or half-rings.
- Place the sliced onions evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker. This will create a flavorful bed for the pork and prevent it from sticking. Place the pork shoulder on top of the onions.
- In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free BBQ sauce (if you want to make your own BBQ sauce, click here for a recipe) and the gluten-free chicken broth. Stir until well mixed.
- Pour the BBQ sauce and chicken broth mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker, ensuring that the pork is well coated.
- Set the slow cooker to low, cover and cook for about 6 hours. The pork should be tender and easy to pull apart with a fork when it's done.
- After 6 hours, carefully remove the pork shoulder from the slow cooker and place it on a large plate or cutting board. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. If you prefer, you can also shred the pork directly in the slow cooker.
- Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining sauce and onions. This will ensure the pork is well-coated and flavorful.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted. Alternatively, you can warm the tortillas in the microwave by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and heating them for about 20-30 seconds.
- Place a generous amount of the shredded BBQ pulled pork onto each warm corn tortilla. Top the pork with a spoonful of coleslaw. You can use store-bought coleslaw (check the dressing isn’t full of seed oils) or make your own with shredded cabbage, carrots, and a gluten free seed oil free dressing.
- Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm. You can add additional toppings such as chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or a squeeze of lime if desired.
TO MAKE THE COLESLAW:
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage (green or a mix of green and purple)
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD FOR COLESLAW:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yoghurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture.
- Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for a bit to let the flavours meld together.
This simple, healthy coleslaw is the perfect crunchy, tangy addition to your BBQ Pulled Pork Tacos. Enjoy!

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Servings: 4 - 5
INGREDIENTS
- 200g of diced bacon
- 500g of chicken breast
- 2 cups of spinach
- 250g gluten free pasta
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp. sea salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 1 clove of garlic
METHOD
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until it is crispy and golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced chicken breast. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, grated parmesan cheese, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

- Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring continuously to coat the pasta evenly. The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
- Serve the healthy carbonara immediately, garnished with additional grated parmesan cheese and black pepper if desired. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!

Double Chocolate Cookie Dough Protein Slice
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIE DOUGH PROTEIN SLICE
24 / APRIL / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Sheree Hannah Wellness x Feeding Lara Collab
One of the biggest issues I see when it comes to healing the gut, balancing hormones and supporting metabolic function is actually a lack of protein intake, especially by women
Most of our snacks are geared towards higher carbohydrates or higher fats, which is typical in convenience type foods, but also in grabbing a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit.
This isn’t to say that those choices are wrong, but did you know that for a food to be considered ‘high protein’ it only needs to hit 5g of protein per serve. That really isn’t much - in fact, rice can be considered a high protein food if you were to measure in this way.
But it’s not, it’s predominantly a carbohydrate. As a nutritionist, I see the confusion this causes all the time, and to be honest it can get super frustrating - not just for me, but clients as well because they think they’re doing the right thing.
A HIGH PROTEIN SNACK TO SUPPORT HOLISTIC WELLNESS
That’s why I am obsessed with this slice, not only is it packed with delicious whole food ingredients (hello cacao), but we have ensured each slice contains about 12g of protein - if not more - so that your ‘high protein snack’ is in fact a high protein snack.
The @mitchells.nz protein powder is collagen based which supports hormone health, skin health and gut healing. The maca root powder is helpful for hormones, libido and energy levels and the tahini is high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and has minerals like magnesium to support our nervous system and brain health, much like cacao.
It also ticks a lot of boxes for those of you struggling to find something that is nourishing but won’t flare up your symptoms - this recipe is gluten free, dairy free, paleo, sugar free and keto friendly!
Enjoy and be sure to tag @feedinglara and @shereehannahwellness if you try it!

For medium-rare tuna, aim for about 1 minute per side. For well-done, cook for 2 minutes per side. Remove the tuna steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
- While the tuna is resting, prepare the salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced mango, sliced avocado, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss everything together gently to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- To serve, divide the dressed salad among serving plates or bowls.
- Slice the rested tuna steaks thinly against the grain and arrange them on top of each salad.

Happy Hormones Coffee Recipe
HAPPY HORMONES COFFEE RECIPE
27 / MARCH / 2023
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Make my morning coffee with me... one that doesn't give you the jitters, supports you hormones, energy and increases focus, grounding you into your day.
PSA: if you're starting your day with a cup of coffee, you're going to be messing up your hormones
Our bodies are designed to be in sync with our natural circadian rhythm, and having a coffee first thing upon waking, or even before breakfast can really leave your system out of sorts
As a holistic nutritionist I not only advocate for my clients to have a cup of coffee after 90 minutes of waking to support their hormones, but adding in some extra ingredients to really support their energy and focus (+ reduce the anxiety that can come with it).
CHECK OUT MY GO-TO MORNING CUPPA RECIPE HERE:
- 1 x espresso shot (I love @rudecoffee nootropic coffee for added benefits of l-theanine + MCT oil)
- 1 x serve of @mitchells.nz Bone Broth Protein Powder
- 1 dash of organic cream (or butter/MCT oil)
Optional extras:
- 1 tsp. @seleno.health cacao powder (use ‘SHEREE10’ for 10% off)
- 1 tsp. @seleno.health maca powder (use ‘SHEREE10’ for 10% off)
Just mix it all together with a frother and add hot water!
The protein powder combined with the healthy fats (cream/butter/MCT oil) allows for a slower release of the cortisol spike that comes with coffee, which increases our mental clarity, energy and focus. I also love the cacao (for magnesium + chocolatey taste) and maca for its energising and hormone supporting effects.
Will you give it a try?
