January is nearly over and as a result, the darker, colder days are behind us.

But that's not to say that you should let your healthy eating regime slip and slide, which is where these healthy yet delicious recipes from Madeleine Shaw come in.

Shaw coaches nutrition, and we're addicted to her Instagram food feed. From her quinoa bircher porridge to the mouthwatering spinach and cashew roast, there's a whole lot of goodness going on below...

Ingredients:

100g of quinoa flakes

100ml of fresh apple juice (try not to use boxed apple juice as it is very sugary. It is also pasteurised which keeps the shelf life yet kills the nutrition.)

1 green apple

100 ml of almond milk (or rice milk or coconut milk)

50g of pecans (or other nut)

30g of dried apricots (chopped into little chunks)

1 tbsp of chia seeds

2 tsp of cinnamon (plus extra for dusting)

Method:

1) The night before soak your quinoa flakes in the nut milk and freshly juiced apple juice. Grate your apple or cut it up into fine strips. Add this into the bowl with the cinnamon, stir and cover with a tea towel. Place it in the fridge overnight.

2) Sprinkle on your chia seeds, dried apricots and pecans.

3) Eat cold, or you can warm this through.

4) Mix the oil, vinegar, mustard and a pinch of salt together then poor into the bottom of the jar, then add you cold quinoa.
