Amanda Hamilton, a renowned nutritional expert and one of the UK’s top five "Super-Nutritionists," is also a seasoned professional speaker and author of leading books on nutrition. Her philosophy revolves around advocating for a diet rich in fiber and protein to provide our bodies with essential nutrition. In our fast-paced lives, having a nutrient-packed snack readily available is crucial for sustaining energy levels and maintaining balance.
Amanda shares her recipe for her superfood snack balls, designed to be a high-fiber, energy-boosting snack on the go. These delicious treats are not only convenient but also contain a range of plant-based whole foods to enhance your diet. Prepare them in batches and keep them chilled for those moments when you need a quick and nutritious bite.
This recipe includes one of Doctor Seaweed's Capsules opened and emptied to add a nutritional punch of energy-boosting iodine. Our organic Scottish seaweed offers the only plant-based and sustainable source of iodine to support the thyroid, metabolism and lift energy levels. We recommend our Pure Seaweed Capsules but our Immunity+ and Menopause+ capsules also work really well!
How do seaweed supplements help promote wellbeing, including factors like diet, exercise, and lifestyle?
“Our nutritional needs change according to age. So, for example, during perimenopause and menopause, women often require more support. Iodine is so important to so many of your body’s functions. As your body doesn’t make iodine, you need to make sure you’re getting adequate levels from your diet, along with supplements when needed, so that your thyroid has the most basic building blocks to make its key hormones.”
