Everyone's gut microbiome is different, so you are unlikely get the same ZOE score as me. See the nutrition and dietary guidance below.
I'm big on cheesecakes - especially baked cheesecakes - so you will see a lot of them here. I could experiment endlessly with the flavours.
So it was great news to me when I realised I could eat these without any guilt or symptoms. The topping is packed with protein, and when you use nuts and seeds to make the pastries the fats balance in favour of good fats.
My next trick was a spin on a classic pumpkin pie.
Coming soon, I will have chocolate treats, sugar-balanced pastries of various kinds, and tray bakes. I use raw sugars, maple syrup and treacle to pack in the flavour.
I do not offer medical or dietary advice and I am not qualified to do so. I recommend everyone to get support from a qualified health practitioner for their own personalised advice. If you have symptoms of a health condition you may benefit from getting tests and guidance for
Blood fat control (full cholesterol check)
Blood sugar management (24 hour sugar monitor)
Gut microbiome (poop test)
Blood tests in relation to specific symptoms
I got tested and it was life changing for me. I put my personal ZOE score as guidance for anyone who may have the same health issues as me.
If you are trying to lose weight speak to a health practitioner to
Measure your BMI (body fat ratio) and to
Recommend a daily calorie intake to lose weight
Your health practitioner can also keep you up to date on Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) for fat, sugars and other nutrients to ensure you get a balanced diet that works for your particular health needs.
You will notice I use the term "in moderation" a lot. Just like one glass of wine with a meal can be healthy, while binge drinking is harmful to your health, almost all nutrients can be harmful in large doses. It is really important you do your own research and take responsibility for managing your diet.
I am a big ZOE fan and will always recommend their podcast (on Apple or Spotify) and their video channel as a major source of up-to-date health information.
Information about ingredients and nutritional advice will get a outdated over time because nutritional science is constantly moving forwards. I do my best to keep things updated - but sometimes there will be a broken link, or I will be behind with the latest updates. I am sorry!
Please do your own research and find resources that you trust.

Try it toasted with black garlic, mascarpone cheese and some nigella fermented honey.
