Recipes

Jennifer along with her chefs and nutritional experts have spent time creating some loved dishes here at Balance Box. Here are some below that you can try yourself at home.

Apple and Walnut Cookies

These are a wonderful winter treat, the spice and warmth of the cinnamon and orange zest balancing the sweetness of the apple and maple syrup wonderfully. They don’t last long in my house, where they’re gobbled down as a mid-afternoon snack in the traditional way – with a glass of milk!

Tangy Roasted Cherries with Mint Yoghurt

Cherries are packed full of antioxidants, and when roasted in a little balsamic vinegar, their sweetness is intensified and utterly irresistible.

Creamy Berry Popsicles
