Low GI snacks
Cashew Queso
Recipe / Georgia Harding
This delicious, cheesy vegan dip is a quick and easy low GI snack. It’s delicious served with a rainbow of vegetable crudités or corn tortillas.
Makes: 1 cup
1 cup raw cashew nuts
¾ cup boiling water
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 small clove garlic
1 chipotle chilli in adobo sauce
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp ground cumin
Place all ingredients together in a high-speed blender. Process until smooth and creamy, approximately 1 min.
If you find it’s too thick, add more water. If it’s not quite thick enough, add more cashew nuts.
Tip: If you prefer a spice-free Queso, replace the chipotle chilli with a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
Peanut Butter Fudge
Recipe / Georgia Harding
This is a really quick-and-easy-to-make, low GI sweet treat. If you’re not able to eat peanuts, you can easily sub it with another nut or even a seed butter.

¼ cup coconut oil, melted
¼ cup sweetener (rice malt, honey or maple syrup)
Pinch sea salt
2 tbsp raw cacao
¼ cup peanuts (optional)
Place the peanut butter, coconut butter, coconut oil, sweetener, sea salt and cacao into a food processor and mix on a low speed to just combine.
