Isn’t the weather amazing for May? I am loving it so much.
Here is this month’s round-up of what I have been loving and some amazing bargains from around the web.
♥ Mt Uncles Banana Flour. I have been testing out this flour and I love it! It’s gluten free and and a resistant starch -which simply put is great for digestion, low GI and for those who want to be healthy. It’s high in Potassium, Magnesium, Dietary Fibre and Vitamin E.
It’s made with just 100% Australian grown and owned green bananas. There are loads of recipes on the website, but the date loaf was really nice. If you have a thermomix, there are thermy instructions as well.
♥ The Energetic Mama. I am such a huge fan of Jessica Donovan, naturopath and women’s holistic health expert! She has just released a brand new coaching program called ‘Sparkling You’. It’s designed to transform you from an overwhelmed, exhausted and ‘out of balance’ mama to an energetic, confident and joyful mama. The package combines health coaching, accountability, inspiration and a heap of practical resources.
Jess is offering everyone the chance to apply for a complimentary ‘Sparkling Session’ with her. This session is designed for you to voice your biggest dreams and health hurdles, to experience Jessica’s style and find out more about the program. Check it out here and start sparkling!
♥ Treats for the soul. My favourite little treat this month has been Luvju hearts and Pukka tea. Both are organic and contain lots of ingredients that are actually good for you. Lots of soul replenishing stuff, without the guilt.
♥ Quirky Cooking Cookbook. I am so thrilled that my lovely friend Jo Whitton, has finally released her thermomix cookbook, Quirky Cooking. It has had all of Australia in a frenzy trying to get their hands on a copy – with good reason. It’s an amazing testament to Jo’s passion for good, healthy, whole foods and contains tried and true delicious recipes. If you have a thermomix and love healthy food, this will become your best friend.
♥ Zentangle. My gorgeous friend Tash from A girl, a Guy, Fur kids and Food sent me a Zentangle kit this month. It’s a fabulous way to relax and relieve stress, guiding you through a basic structure to create beautiful, unique images. Zentangle is the creative outlet for people who don’t think they are creative! I am having so much fun with it and even the kids are getting in on the act now!
“It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well-being.” Zentangle.
♥ Puraforce Remedies bundle. Nicole Cunningham is a legend in our house. Her homeopathic remedies are our go-to for pretty much all ailments. They work effectively and fast and contain no nasties! You can now get customized bundle of remedies and save a massive 20%! I am stocking up for the winter season and getting us all onto immune boost drops daily. In May, Nicole is also giving away a free New Mother’s Tonic with all orders over $120. You can read more about Nicole and how homeopathy works in this interview I did with her.
♥ Raise your Vibration. One of my favourite blog posts this month, The Spirit, Science and Metaphysics website talks about how to raise your vibration and get healthier and happier.
I also thought this blog post about Vaginal Steaming was really interesting and useful for anyone suffering painful periods.
♥ Coconut Aminos. I have actively been avoiding soy products. Then (duh) I realized that I use soy sauce pretty regularly and it contains… you guessed it…. soy! Anyway, I got some organic Niulife Coconut Amino Sauce in my last Organics on a Budget order to give it a go. I absolutely love it – a perfect alternative and it’s gluten free, dairy free and contains 17 naturally occurring amino acids.
♥ Jules Galloway Naturopath. Jules’s new ebook, Desserts Raw and Simple is an absolute cracker! If you hurry, Jules is also throwing in a free copy of Gluten Free Treats and Desserts by Claudie Richey with every purchase of her book until midnite, Monday the 9th of June. Check it out here.
♥ Biome Eco Store Discount. I have just teamed up with one of my favourite online stores, Biome as an affiliate partner. They have kindly given an exclusive offer to all of my readers – 10% off, storewide! You just need to use the code: NNAM10! They have a huge range of all sorts of eco-friendly, organic, natural, recycled and fair trade things.
♥ Skin B5 specials. Get 50% off Skin B5 purifying mask (code: BESTMASK) and 50% off Acne Control Caplets (code: SKINREHAB) until midnite, 31st of May. My kids love this range to keep their acne under control – we recommend it to everyone.
♥ EFT coaching. My gorgeous friend, Kirri has a three session bundle of EFT (tapping) coaching for just $60 each. Email her at kirri.white@gmail.com or contact her at Kirri White Coaching. We love EFT – it can help remove so much stuck emotion, pain and hurt from your body.
♥ Overfed and Undernourished Movie. Remember last month I talked about this awesome doco? Well, it’s out now and you can get a copy from the girls at Nutraorganics (find it under gift ideas). Woohoo!
♥ TOM organic tampons. You still have a few more days to take advantage of the special deal. Get a massive 20% off any purchase from their online store! Just use the code: NATMUM. Ends May 31st.
What’s on your love list this month? I would love to know what you have discovered.
This month I discovered Synthesis Organics – totally organic and energy imbued skincare. I spent up and bought the herbal teas, auric mist and the essential oils.
I also got the Ascension Kitchen Green Smoothies App which I think has finally converted me from a juice girl to a smoothie girl!
I also discovered (well not discovered so much as started using) spirulina… very cool stuff.

Oh, a friend told me about them! Looking foward to checking out the skincare. 🙂
I have Jules e book. I love the layout, the beautiful photography, the simplicity and have tried a few of her desserts. She definitely has added her flair and they are delicious.
I have tried Jules Galloway’s desserts and can confirm that they are SENSATIONAL!!!
I’m loving quinoa at the moment. Haven’t had it for so long, now I can’t get enough of it!
I can vouch for Jules Galloway’s recipes… they are heavenly!
I would bake banana bread, banana and apple slice, apple and date slice and brownies! Little bit baking obsessed. When you don’t buy anything but single ingredient foods it helps if you love to cook in the kitchen! Can’t wait to try this new flour xx
Yum! Can’t wait to try some of those raw desert recipes by Jules, even better with a Pukka tea (my fav tea’s too) 😉
Jules Galloway is a wizard with her recipes…I would never have thought I would be a convert to raw vegan desserts….but she has the touch with her recipes. Mango Mousse cake is now a firm family favourite – my 11 year old son demanded it for his birthday party and it was devoured in 10minutes (by alot of fussy kids!)
Love that banana flour! Are we going to see some new recipes from you NNAM? 🙂
I would make Mt Uncle’s Banana Bread, it looks great and easy to use.
Wow I SO want to try that banana flour!!! Sounds incredible – so green bananas yes? How cool! Hmmmm I would try and incorporate it into some sort of healthy cookie or cupcake I think 🙂 Or even BROWNIES!!!
I haven’t discovered anything new this month, but I don’t have to…I am slowly making my way through yours and I can tell you that I have already learned a few new things (which is a love of mine!).
Thanks for the mention as well. Much appreciated.
I would love to try the Mt Uncle’s banana flour- First on the list would be the paleo pancakes, then on to the Mt Uncle’s Hot cross buns! Yum!
Can’t go wrong wit banana bread! I’d also give it a try in some lactation cookies I have been making a lot of.
I would love to try the banana flour, I would make brownies or banana bread. Yum!
You always find the best stuff!
Re banana flour- sticky date pudding would be the recipe I’d try. Banana, Date and toffee- what a great combo
I have been wanting to try the banana flour – the first thing I would make would be the paleo vegan Anzac biscuits, they sound totally amazing!! PS I love your love posts every month, they really open up my eyes to lots of new products and company.
Mt Uncles Banana Flour – I would make sweet potato cacao brownies with the banana flour – moist, delicious and a fantastic snack!
I’ve been wanting to try this Banana flour for the longest time. And what else would you start with than banana bread?
Can’t wait to use banana flour in an apple and walnut slice!
Banana muffins or biscuits- not sure it all sounds exciting !!
I would like to make the butterscotch buttons and so much more. there are a few biscuit recipes without egg which would be good for our household. Pick me!
This sounds awesome! I would make something savoury so the pizza base looks great! 🙂
Seeing this post about banana flour is like a wow moment for me. I need to start a grain fee diet. I’ve just got back from my GP who has referred me to an RA specialist as my doctor suspects I have rheumatoid arthritis 🙁 In thinking about what changes I can make to help improve my situation, diet is at the forefront of my mind… My first thought was “there goes my banana bread”… But maybe not with banana flour…. So that’s what I would do, I’d bake my banana & walnut bread recipe, changing up Wholemeal flour for banana flour :0)
Savory Waffles made with banana flour sound awesome under eggs for breakfast!
Would love to make our Sunday morning tradition banana bread with the banana flour. We have lots of banana fans in our house 😉
I so want to try this flour – I am on such a restrictive diet this would be perfect to add some variety to my diet.
i have discovered vegan cookbook by adele mcconnell, a great book my friend bought me called “the happiness project” by gretchin rubin, and i also discovered french green lentils and pearl spelt (which i have just bought in bulk so now have to figure out lots of recipes to make with them lol) 🙂
I would make orange & poppyseed cake I miss it!
I would love to make banana protein bars, I am currently on a weight loss journey and we are starting to make all our own little snacks so this would come in perfect hand!
I would make my world renowned Paleol chai spice cupcakes with the banana flour, and anything else I’ve been using coconut flour in. I have an autoimmune disease so I think banana flour would be the healthiest alternative for me. Can’t wait to try it, even if I don’t win 😉
Oh STOP IT, all those banana flour recipes look heavenly!! The first thing I’d make would be the raspberry butter cake. YUM 🙂
They all sound great, but the date bread sounds good to me, thanks;-)
I would love to try the banana flour. First thing I’d make is a chocolate cake.
Mt Uncles Banana Flour sounds fabulous!
I’d definitely like to try the date loaf, some banana bread.. And them get experimenting with some new recipes to share! 🙂
Loving the look of banana flour and if I win a big (or if I dont) I would like to make pineapple upside down cake (and many other things 🙂
The first thing I’d make is the Paleo Hot Cross Buns!! I missed out on making these at Easter due to my oven being out of order!!
Im intrigued by the pizza dough recipe.
I read the Vaginal Steaming link too. Very interesting and something I’m going to try see if it’ll help relieve pain. Thanks Sonia 🙂
The orange poppy seed cake, yum
I would be making the 5 Minute Chocolate Cake – looks amazing and so easy!!! Thanks NNAM xxx
I love the idea of banana flour. We’ve used coconut flour in pancakes so I’d love to try the pancakes. But the first thing that pops into mind is banana battered prawns fried in a little coconut oil with a mango salsa! Yummo. My mind is ticking over with all the tropical possibilities to take away the dreariness of winter
Banana pancakes. Then try a banana batter for prawns fried in a little coconut oil served with mango salsa
definatly pizza!!
I would make our Sunday morning pancakes with it…..but I probably wouldn’t be able to wait until Sunday, so it would be the next day after it arrived! 🙂
I’ve been following their page for a while but have never tried banana flour. Date loaf sounds amazing! Pancakes, pizza, banana bread, if I had some I could make it all!!! 🙂
I would love to try the Banana Flour! The Paleo Pancake recipe looks fantastic – I am still trying to find my perfect gf pancake recipe and this could be it! 🙂
Oh yum..,,first thing I would make is sticky date cake with caramel sauce!! Adverised by YUM gluten free…..I even had to borrow 3/4 of a cup from a friend to make it. Banana flour is so hard to buy where I live!
I would have to make scones with the Banana Flour, YUM! Then I’d probably use it to make a healthier lactation cookie.
I was so excited to see Jo bring out her Quirky Cooking cookbook. It’s been moved to the top of my ‘must buy’ list!
Mmmmmm pancakes
The first recipe I would try would be the Banana Bread. I have actually never made banana bread before and my 3 year old and husband both love it, so would be a good chance to give it a tree, and being GF I could enjoy it with them for a change 🙂
Sticky date cake 🙂
I’ve been missing banana bread as my son hasn’t been able to tolerate some ingredients, but we are told that he now can…so I would be trying out the banana flour in banana bread first!
We love to make pancakes with the Banana Flour. The kids love it.
I would LOVE to try the Best Brownie Ever recipe. We are currently moving so I haven’t been able to try anything new this month as I am running things down but banana flour is one of the things at the top of my list when I restock!
Would love to try making apricot and date slice with banana flour or pancakes for a breakfast treat 🙂
Just saw their post for chocolate coconut slice with hazelnuts, will definitely give that a go! And pikelets!
I would make pancakes with fresh berries, maple syrup and whipped coconut cream! YUM!
The winners are Rhani, Kylie and Laurie! Congrats ladies. 🙂
