Heather Mills has achieved an impressive amount in her 57 years. She’s been a model, campaigner and nabbed a Guinness World Record as the fastest disabled female skier of all time. She’s also married and divorced a Beatle and set up more groundbreaking businesses than you can shake a cruelty-free stick at. Feeling inspired? You haven’t seen anything yet…

You look amazing: quite the advertisement for veganism! Tell us about your plant-based journey.

“In 1993, I crossed the street and ended up losing my leg, crushing my pelvis and splitting my head open. Five months later I was still in hospital and still not healing. A friend introduced me to a vegan diet and I swear I healed in two weeks. There was no going back. I created my own vegan food company so I could eat anything I liked, by replicating what turned out to be hundreds of meat, fish and dairy alternatives.”

What tip would you give to anyone considering becoming vegan?

“Start slow. For me, being vegetarian was never good enough as eating dairy can cause so many ailments. Even fast-food addicts can find brands to reach for, like Vbites, which give easy alternatives. Eventually, you will find yourself naturally adding more beans, lentils, pulses and vegetables into your diet.”

Is it possible to eat vegan on a budget?

“It’s such a myth that vegan is more expensive! I’ve done countless spreadsheets to show families how much waste happens in their house. Not only can being vegan be more cost-effective, but it can also lead to a happier, healthier life. The key is to look at the requirements for a whole month. I’m always stocked up on kale, spinach, aubergines, carrots, courgettes, potatoes, rice and quinoa as you can make so many meals with them.”

“We guess you’re a force in the kitchen. What do you cook for friends?

“I like to show them they can eat the same things as they do in a restaurant, but plant based. I had a TV show in Italy called My Planet Vegan, where I taught Michelin chefs how to do vegan versions of favourites like soufflés, lasagnes and pizzas, which was so much fun.”

How else has being vegan affected your health?

“I’m 57 and still have periods! It may be genetic, but I believe it’s my diet because until I went vegan, I couldn’t have children. I kept having miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, but after going vegan, within years I had a beautiful baby. I strongly believe veganism is the future and I’ve been shouting about it for 30 years! You may feel like you can’t do anything about the state of the world, but individuals make choices – and those individuals become groups. I want to educate as many people as I can and feed them great food.”

You’ve launched a new food line, No Bloat. Can you tell us a little about it?

“No Bloat is going to change people’s lives, offering on-the-go, healthy, clean food to help heal gut issues. In 1999 I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which destroyed my colon, caused my appendix to burst, as well as me having to have my gallbladder removed. I was told I had to live with a stoma, which I refused. Then, while on a liquid diet and suffering from extreme IBS for years – all while training for my Guinness World Record! – it was discovered I was intolerant to onions, garlic, and many mushrooms. Once I understood the problem, I created No Bloat, and I’m proud to say that after 13 years of testing with cameras in the colon, it’s now the first food to get stamped by the Harley Street Functional Gut Clinic, Monash University and Dr Michael Klaper.”

You also founded the make-up brand, Be At One, with your make-up artist pal Milena Thacker. How hands on are you?

“When I met Melina, she’d created a make-up business but didn’t know anything about veganism, so I worked with her to create a high-quality, low-cost vegan brand. One of the big companies recently wanted our mascara because it’s amazing and doesn’t irritate the eye, but we said no as we want to keep the price low, as well as save animals. I’m a bright red lipstick girl, but it amazes me how few people know they swallow insects every time they lick their red lips. We use vegetable colouring, not crushed beetles.”

What’s next?

“At the moment the food industry is a mess, so I would like to help change that. The country is obese, and the government are soft and allowing people to get lazy. It’s pretty simple, but common sense is disappearing. It’s time to stop making excuses. There needs to be a revolution – and we do that through the choices we make.”

WHAT AVOCADOS DO

“Avocados are a powerhouse of nutrients, and the perfect addition to breakfast or lunchboxes for busy brains and bodies going back to school,” begins Lucy. “They literally deserve an A+ in nutrition – and here’s why.”

Brain Development

Avocados are a rich source of healthy monounsaturated fats that can support brain cell structure and function, essential for learning and memory.

Vision Support

Avocados have a high content of lutein, which can help maintain eye health, a plus for long hours of reading and screen time.

Steady Energy

With fibre, potassium, and healthy fats, avocados release energy slowly, keeping kids fuelled through lessons and playtime without the sugar crashes.

Long-Lasting Fullness

Studies show that including avocado in a meal can increase satiety by over 20% and reduce the desire to snack for up to five hours^, helping children stay focused through the school day.

Immunity Boost

Vitamin C, E, and antioxidants help strengthen young immune systems, a must-have during the back-to-school cold season and viruses.

RECIPES FOR FUSSY EATERS

Got a child who’s picky at what they will and won’t eat? “You can easily incorporate avocado into meals to fuel the school day,” continues Lucy. “For example, spread it on whole-grain toast at breakfast or blend it into a smoothie. At lunch, you could mash into wraps and sandwiches instead of butter, dice into lunchbox salads or sushi rolls, or make a quick guacamole for dipping breadsticks, crackers or vegetables.”

Little one still unconvinced? With these recipes they’ll enjoy avocados’ many benefits without them realising what they’re eating!

The post Food for thought: why avocados are great for kids appeared first on Checklists.

This can include questions about fussy eating, healthy snacking, and how to nurture a love for food from an early age.  Charlotte Stirling-Reed, in-house baby and child nutritionist at award-winning children’s food brand, Little Dish shares her expert advice on key food and nutrition-related topics.

How to tackle a fussy eating phase

Try role modelling. Eat with your little one often, and eat a wide variety of foods, as they learn what to eat from watching you eat. Variety is important too, the more variety you offer, the more they’re likely to accept new tastes and textures.

Always be consistent by establishing a routine and trying to stick to it. Avoid pressure as this is likely to backfire and put them off trying new foods. Most importantly, make mealtimes fun. The more fun they are, the more little ones will want to be involved.

Healthy snacking 

Ensure that you have a routine. A structure around meals and snacks means your little one knows when to expect food. Offer a variety of snacks to ensure they have a balance of nutrients throughout the day. Always tailor snacks to your child. Even though the recommendation for children is to have three meals and two or three snacks a day, all children are different so figure out what works best for your child.

Include all food groups. Try making snacks ‘mini meals’ by offering a carbohydrate food, a portion of veg or fruit, protein or iron-rich foods and sometimes some dairy or alternatives. Make the most of the nutrition offered at snack time with an extra stir of peanut butter, a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of milled seeds.

How to nurture a love of food 

Children are more likely to enjoy food if they see you eating and enjoying food with them. Let them join in by bringing them to the table at an early stage so they get used to sharing meal times with family and friends.

Don’t just eat the food, get them involved in growing it, cooking it, shopping for it and reading about it. Familiarise them with a wide variety of foods and avoid labelling foods. Try to avoid offering food rewards and labelling foods as ‘good’ and ‘bad’.

Introducing herbs and spices 

Start introducing herbs and spices gradually to familiarise their taste buds with new flavours. Add plenty of variety to get them used to different flavours from an early age. Get little ones used to the herbs and spices you use regularly in your cooking and the family favourites.

Avoid adding salt and instead use herbs and spices to flavour meals. Get creative – think about adding a pinch of nutmeg to a cheese sauce, or a pinch of cinnamon to their morning porridge.

Balancing meals and portion sizes

Let the kids lead. Look out for cues that they’ve had enough or they’re still hungry. Work together when it comes to portion sizes. You decide what they’re going to have to eat, and let them decide how much they want to eat.

Offer all food groups, include fruits and vegetables, carbohydrates, protein and iron-rich foods, dairy and alternatives. Add extra goodness wherever possible with an extra stir of nut butter, a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of seeds. Try to have a routine and keep it up and have a structure for meals and snack times.

Cooking with kids

When cooking with the little ones, start simple and use two- or three-ingredient recipes. Encourage the kids to help out in the kitchen regularly by whisking eggs, buttering toast or finding the right cooking equipment.

Always prepare and read the recipe first to pick out safe and easy jobs for little helpers. Try to accept there will be both mess and chaos. Most importantly, have fun. This way the kids will enjoy the experience and want to do it again, and that’s how they’ll learn to cook in the future.

The post Top 10 very British tipples for your next gathering that everyone will love appeared first on Checklists.

Sloe gin is perfect for wintery evenings, with a fruity subtle warmth that just tops dry gin in the colder months. Stronger, paler and drier than your average Sloe gin, Foxdenton’s classic hip flask-filler is full of juniper on the nose giving way to plum sweetness before a long, crisp finish.

It is naturally lower in strength than other spirits, and so is well-suited to sipping in the afternoon in relaxation. Here are four great Sloe gin recipes to complete your warm winter’s evening this festive season.

Sloe Fizz

A simple twist that yields delightful results every time. If mimosas and bellinis aren’t festive enough for you, try this Sloe alternative that’ll freshen up your tastebuds.

Ingredients

• 25ml Foxdenton’s Sloe Gin
• 200ml champagne or prosecco of your choice
• Optional: lemon juice or fruit purée

Method

1. If opting to jazz up your drink with lemon juice or any variety of fruit puree, mix your Sloe gin and additional ingredients first.
2. Pour your Sloe gin into the bottom of a tall-necked glass. Top up with your champagne.
3. Garnish with a lemon slice or fresh berries for some extra flavour and style.

Mulled Sloe

This winter warmer is a cosy alternative to mulled wine, offering a different flavour profile while still resembling the iconic festive beverage. This recipe makes full use of Foxdenton’s Sloe Gin’s plum sweetness and floral tones.

Ingredients

• Foxdenton’s Sloe Gin
• Apple or orange juice
• Festive herbs and spices, such as clove and cinnamon sticks
