• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 small pinch fine sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Put the lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a small clean jar. Stir until the honey loosens.
2. Add the olive oil and black seed oil. Close the lid securely and shake for 20 seconds until combined.

Ingredients

• 1 x 400 g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed (about 240 g drained)
• 2 tbsp tahini
• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove, peeled
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp Crystal Health & Beauty Black Seed Oil
• 2-4 tbsp cold water
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• 1 small pinch fine sea salt
• Optional: a few reserved chickpeas and sesame seeds to serve

Method

1. Reserve a spoonful of chickpeas if using them as a garnish. Add the remaining chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin and salt to a food processor.
2. Blend, then add cold water a tablespoon at a time until smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
3. Stir half of the measured black seed oil through the hummus. Taste and adjust the lemon or salt.
4. Spoon into a bowl, make a shallow swirl and drizzle over the remaining black seed oil. Add the optional chickpeas and sesame seeds. Divide into four servings.

Ingredients

• 150 g mixed berries, fresh or frozen and labelled ready to eat
• 1 ripe banana, peeled
• 150 g plain coconut yoghurt
• 200 ml unsweetened oat drink, plus a little more if needed
• 1/2 tsp Crystal Health & Beauty Black Seed Oil

Method

1. Check the berry packet first. If it instructs you to cook the berries, cook and cool them before using; otherwise use ready-to-eat berries.
2. Add the berries, banana, coconut yoghurt and oat drink to a blender. Blend until smooth.
3. Add the measured black seed oil and blend briefly to combine. Add a splash more oat drink if you prefer a thinner texture.
4. Divide equally between two glasses and serve straight away.
