CHRISTMAS COOKIES
Who doesn't LOVE cookies?  
What I don't love is the abundance of sugar, oil and salt in most cookie recipes.  
I want a sweet treat, but without the hangover afterwards.  Am I right?

I just made these delightful little Christmas cookies and cannot wait to scoff myself with them.
In fact, if I eat the entire batch over the next few days, I will not care one bit.

These cookies are so healthy, you can have them as a snack with a cup of tea, or grab and go a handful for breakfast in the car!

They are chewy and delicious - full of all the lovely Christmas flavors including spicy ginger, warm apple and tart cranberry.

These Christmas Cookies are sugar, oil, and salt free- which means completely guilt free.  YAY!

Make a batch for you and your family, or bag them up and give them as gifts to neighbours.  Because they have no oil, butter or sugar, your friends can also enjoy them without compromising their health.
Did I mention that they are super-dooper easy to make? 
What are you waiting for?

I help people like you regain their health and lose weight on a plant-based diet.  

Hey there! I'm Terri

 
Thanks for checking out my website. 
I hope you find this an indispensable resource as you navigate your wellness journey. 

First, a little about me.
I have a Master of Human Nutrition from Deakin University (2018) and a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science from the University of the Sunshine Coast (2013). 

I am from Melbourne, Australia but currently based in Dallas, Texas. 
I am a mum of two grown up children and I’m married to the most wonderful man on the planet. I’m Fit, Fifty…ish and FABULOUS!!!

I have the cutest puppy on the planet!
 (Yes I do, check her out on Instagram @elvis_puppy_adventures)

I am dedicated to helping as many people as I can lead healthy, vital and happy lives. 
I advocate and teach a plant-based whole-foods diet, free from Animal products, Salt, Oil, Flour, Alcohol and Sugar (ASOFAS).
 I am a firm believer that food can be the best medicine (or poison – depending upon what you eat) and that you can transform your health with a change in diet and exercise.

I consider myself a bit of a health nut.  
So, I’m always looking at ways to improve the health of my family.  
Not just with their fitness and nutrition.
 
I firmly believe that our environment plays an enormous part in our health, and that eradicating chemical toxins from our homes...
such as those found in cosmetics, personal care and cleaning products...
can reduce cell oxidation and neurological disturbances and keep us healthy well into our old age. 

When I found out that everyday household items such as cleaning products and personal care products contain chemicals, some of them toxic to humans, I was shocked!
Since ditching the toxin laden chemical products from the supermarket and switching to natural, safe alternatives, my life has changed for the better.

I'm here to help you regain your health and protect you and your family from the debilitating effects of lifestyle disease. I'm so excited to join you on your journey.
