Cranberries seem to go hand-in-hand with Christmas. This slice was originally conceived as a great option to put in a lunchboxes or for a healthy snack.

Gluten-free Ginger and Almond Slice
There’s something about ginger that always makes me think of Christmas. This slice is perfect to take as a plate to a festive function or as a thoughtful gift for a friend, a favourite teacher or someone else who makes life better all year round. To make this more festive you can use pistachios instead of almonds.
Festive Muesli
I don’t usually advocate chocolate for breakfast but I think you can ignore the usual rules during the silly season. Adding cranberries, nuts and dark chocolate to your favourite muesli creates something a little special for Christmas. You can pop it in a pretty jar and give it away or just treat yourself and your family.
Spectacular Chocolate Slice (Gluten-free)
The colourful goji berries, pumpkin seeds and pistachios in the crunchy topping of this slice make it a perfect choice at Christmas time. It’s another one that would be perfect to serve to guests or give as a gift.

This recipe addresses both those challenges. Cheesecake is a popular dessert on any occasion and I’ve discovered a few tricks to make it lower in sugar and fat and still taste delicious.
Pick Me Up Bliss Balls
This is another recipe that’s a great gift idea – or just have a few on hand in the busy pre-Christmas period to keep your energy levels up as you tick off your to-do list. These are absolutely delicious, easy to make and are low in sugar, grain-free and dairy-free. You can even make them vegan and nut-free if required.
Caramello Muesli Squares
This is another slice that makes a great gift. As well as being gluten free, it’s dairy-free, refined sugar-free and nut-free. It uses tahini paste, honey, and coconut oil to make a lovely caramelised syrup that gives the slice a delicious flavour and helps it set. You can add your favourite dried fruit and optional seeds for a bit more texture.
