Welcome to the Blueberry Blog
Recipes, insights, and strategies for gut health & blood sugar balance.
Carrot Ginger Soup
This cozy carrot ginger soup is simple, comforting, and packed full of plant-based protein. It uses silken tofu to add creaminess without dairy, and adds even more protein and fibre with red lentils. It’s a great vegan option for meal prep and busy weeks.
Gluten-Free Cornbread
Cornbread is one of my absolute favourites and the perfect companion to my turkey chili. It’s lightly sweet without tasting like dessert, and stays moist thanks to yogurt and olive oil. Using olive oil instead of butter makes it a heart-healthy choice, ideal if you’re trying to reduce saturated fat. And of course, you can swap regular AP flour for gluten-free flour if you don’t need to eat gluten-free.
Turkey Chilli
Chilli is one of my favourite meals during cold winters. This turkey chili is loaded with flavour, plenty of fibre, and gut-friendly nutrients that leave you satisfied while keeping your gut and blood sugars happy too.
Chocolate Coconut Protein Balls
These chocolate coconut balls are the perfect grab-and-go snack. Packed with fiber, healthy fats, and protein, they’ll conquer your hunger mid-afternoon without the sugar crash. These are so good, you’re going to want to make them every week!
Blueberry Chia Jam
This blueberry chia jam is low-sugar, super simple, and actually good for your gut. Chia seeds add fiber and help it thicken naturally, while blueberries bring antioxidants and natural sweetness. Perfect on toast, yogurt, or ice cream (no judgment here!).
IBS and Pre-Diabetes: Why I Support Clients With Both
As a dietitian living with IBS and a certified diabetes educator, I know firsthand how frustrating and confusing these conditions can be. I’ve had to plan my day around gut symptoms, and I’ve seen clients struggle with the overwhelm of a new prediabetes diagnosis. What I love most about my work is helping people realize two things:
Cranberry Orange Energy Balls
These cranberry orange energy balls are the perfect grab-and-go snack. Packed with fiber, healthy fats, and a touch of protein, they’ll keep your energy steady between meals without the crash. I love them as a quick pre-workout bite, an afternoon pick-me-up, or even a healthier holiday treat. These are so good, you’re going to want to make them every week!
Chocolate Zucchini Bread
This chocolate zucchini bread is rich, moist, and packed with flavour plus a hearty dose of zucchini. Made with oat flour for extra fibre, less total sugar, and uses canola oil and Greek yogurt instead of butter — it’s a great choice for anyone managing insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, or diabetes. The best part? It still tastes like dessert.
Roasted Soy Beans
Roasted soybeans are a seriously underrated snack—packed with fibre and plant-based protein to help keep your blood sugars steady and your gut feeling good between meals. Bonus: they add the perfect crunch to salads, yogurt bowls, or even a quick trail mix.
