Year: 2015

It can be a polarising subject, but there’s no denying the popularity of the paleo diet in recent times – it’s been the most Googled diet over the last two years and there are over 5000 paleo cookbooks available on Amazon. With more and more cafes and restaurants offering paleo-friendly dishes, the idea of paleo isn’t as foreign as it once was, and Paleo Café on Braddon’s Mort Street has proudly joined the growing list of Canberra cafes offering a paleo-only menu.

In 2016, “Gal-entine’s Day” (only the most important day of the year!) is on a Saturday, and I already have grand plans for a brunch that would make Leslie Knope proud. Until then, I’ve been looking around for some places to celebrate the year that was with my very best girlfriends. Here are my favourite picks around Canberra for a girly long lunch.

As You Like It

Looking back, 2015 was an interesting year for nutrition. In one word, I could describe the last 12 months as ‘extreme’. All captured on Instagram with a filter and a hashtag to make us all feel guilty or righteous. Here’s my take on 2015 – The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

GREEN SMOOTHIE BOWLS
The Good: People started getting more greens into their diet; and when smoothies are made with majority vege, that’s a superb hit of vitamins and minerals.
