Amanda Ryder Nutrition

This week’s podcast guest on

Be Healthy with Amanda

You know when a conversation makes you want to immediately get into the kitchen? That was this one.

I went straight into my mine after chatting with food writer and fermentation expert Rachel de Thample, trying out some of the many ideas she shared.

We talk simple ferments (nothing complicated), why food that’s “on the turn” can actually be exactly what you need, and how she always has something nutritious ready to eat in her fridge.

Rachel is a font of knowledge when it comes to food and nourishment but what I love is how simple and doable she makes it all feel.

We also get into:

✨ Why health & ageing have become far too commercialised
✨ Gut-friendly living (without the overwhelm)
✨ Her go-to meals
✨ Her natural, no-fuss approach to beauty & self-care

From River Cottage life to organic food to a love of wine 🍷… this is really about enjoying food and living well.

✨ If you want to:

Eat better
Waste less

Feel more inspired in the kitchen

If you’re missing the dark bounty bars you’ll love these

Recipe

300/350ml greek yoghurt or thick soya yoghurt if dairy free
150g desiccated coconut
1 dessertspoon of maple syrup
3 bars of 70/80% dark chocolate

Place yoghurt in large roomy bowl, add the desiccated coconut and maple syrup and combine - you want it to hold it’s shape

Place in a lined square tin - and leave in the freezer 3/4 hours

Then melt the chocolate and place the cut rectangles into the chocolate

Place back in the fridge or freezer and enjoy
They are nice straight from the freezer or the fridge

I made these for friends and they were a big hit

Enjoy - let me know if you’re going to try them

Thanks for the inspiration / recipe - he’s worth a follow!

This is a salad I’m loving right now.

So colourful and nutrient dense

The salad dressing is one of my favs and all my clients love it - nothing fancy just really tastes good. In fact I’ll often have it over vegetables

Having some ready to go salad or vegetables is a must for me cause sometimes I just don’t have the headspace to do everything from scratch

Hope you’ll give it a go!
