Featured Foodie - To Her Core, Dearna

"As I get older, I definitely feel I am more comfortable in my choices and less strict than I used to be – that said I do try eat ‘clean’ (ie minimally processed) as much as possible, with lots of vegetables. I also try to buy as much locally sourced food as possible these days, I rarely shop at the supermarket and instead tend to buy my veggies from the local market, and we get a veggie box delivered once a fortnight too."

A Healthy Easter – The Chocolate Alternative

Easter is traditionally associated with religious holidays and rebirth, with the egg and the rabbit being symbols of fertility in pre-Christian European religions. Whilst this is where the modern celebration comes from, we all know that there's only one thing on kids' minds when this time of year rolls around...CHOCOLATE, and lots of it!

Sustainable Packaging

Sustainability is and always has been one the main principles of Loving Earth. This is something we are always trying to improve on and work closely with our packaging suppliers to develop better ways of producing. So, here's what we actually do...

A Day In A Plate: Matcha Maiden

"I am that embarrassingly devout foodie who is already planning lunch and dinner while still halfway through breakfast. My whole day is structured around meal times and I’m always counting down to the next socially acceptable time to eat. It completely escapes me how anyone can ever “forget to eat”, especially because I have less personality than a door handle when I haven’t eaten in a few hours."

We've shortlisted our favourites down to just six recipes and now it's up to you to decide which one will be the perfect Chrissy day indulgence!

Featured Foodies - Our Holistic Kitchen, Anna & Bree

"Our days have always evolved around food for as long as we can remember. We are those annoying people who are always eating and talking about our next meal! With Bree being a photographer and myself a designer we get excited about creating images and putting together recipes. We have been meaning to pair up for some time, but it has taken till now for us both to be based in our hometown."

Featured Foodie: Holly Shelley - Paradise Pantry

"I always have to have a good walk and stretching session everyday. Plenty of water and real homemade food otherwise I get grumpy. I prioritise a bit of down time in my day, whether it be taking photos, cooking something special, reading my favourite magazines, just sitting and listening to music or cuddling my puppy Blaze. You end up happier and more productive for the rest of the day when you do."

Featured Foodie: Ashley Alexander - Gather & Feast

"I spent a lot of my early years learning in the kitchen. Mum enjoyed teaching my brother, sister and I to cook from a young age, preparing three course meals for dinner parties by the time we were 12 (well played Mum, well played). I am very thankful for all the valuable time spent and the lessons we learnt. Mum always taught us to cook using natural and healthy ingredients and instilled in us the value of whole and organic foods. (Vegan ice­cream for the win!) Thanks Mum!"

Featured Foodies: Kathie & Jade - Panaceas Pantry

"I moved out of home at 17, not really knowing anything about cooking and without much knowledge on nutrition and unsurprisingly I quickly started to create some pretty bad eating habits and soon after my body started to suffer. When I made the connection that whatever I put into my body directly affected me so much, and thankfully after years of living with Jade who was studying nutrition at the time, I started to take an interest in my health."

A Day In A Plate: Lilian Dikmans - Real Food Healthy Body

I make time to eat well because I like to feel good. Eating real, unprocessed foods with plenty of vegetables keeps me full of energy and functioning at my best. I drink water throughout the day in between my meals and I always make room for some healthy treats because I don’t believe in deprivation!

Guilt & Conscious Eating – Snacking & Breakfasts

So often we see products in our industry advertised as ‘guilt free’, illustrating just how problematic concepts around food and health can be. What is it that inspires ‘guilt’ around what we eat?

New Chocolate Packaging - what's the story?

Today we show the world our new chocolate packaging! It's pretty exciting...in fact, no - it's VERY exciting! We've been working on this since last year and it took a LOT of doing before we were satisfied. If you look closely, you'll notice there's a whole system at play here...so why did we do this, and how does it work?
