ALMOND MUFFINS
It’s along similar lines to hanger!
Feeling hungry can cause the
body to enter a state of anxiety,
thanks to a biological imperative
to eat. Become less hanxious
by taking calming breaths to
separate the hunger from the
anxiety, and keep snacks such
as fruit or nuts on hand.1
Preheat the oven to 180 ̊C. Line a
muffin tray with cupcake cases and
set aside for later.

Start by making a trail mix. Roughly
chop 100g mixed nuts, 25g toasted
banana chips, 25g of cacao nibs and 25g

together 100g melted coconut oil,
2 tbsp Pip & Nut Blueberry Trail Mix
Almond Butter, 170ml almond milk and
1 tsp vanilla bean paste. Add 200g flour
and 100g sugar, then add 2 tsp baking
powder and 150g blueberries. Mix well.

Fold half the trail mix into the wet
mixture, then spoon into the cupcake
cases. Top with the remaining trail mix,
then bake for about 18-20 minutes. Cool
on a wire rack, then serve with a drizzle

Movie magic
Researchers at University College
London found that a cinema trip
mimicked the physical effects of

to our responses to the events
on the big screen. It also showed
that cinema’s immersive nature
improved mental wellbeing –
we’re ready for a romcom.
