There are 37 Stores currently who have been providing Wholefoods to NZ consumers long before it became a trend and continue to do so while making it both affordable and convenient. The relationship between Michelle Yandle and Bin inn is a special one. It began just a few short years ago in a small rural NZ town when in association with the Bin Inn there, they started to experiment on trialling a range of healthy type foods and very soon this had built to the stocking in this store of every Superfood one could imagine. From Spirulina to Chia Seeds it was becoming a specialty store with so much more. Meanwhile the ripple effect was spreading to other Bin Inns around the country who were catching on to the health food fever and began to stock these products on their shelves as well. And so a beautiful relationship was formed between a holistic nutrition coach and a national foodgroup both wanting to make healthier foods and education more accessible to their communities. Bin Inn has now become a first choice destination for many of your health food needs and both Michelle Yandle and Bin Inn are proud to have teamed up to spread the education nationwide. We trust you will enjoy this ‘BEYOND THE BIN’ book and that it will become your kitchen guide for all “ all your healthy inspirations.” LOOK FOR THESE BOOKS EXCLUSIVELY IN YOUR BIN INN STORES SOON. www.bininn.co.nz 6 Introducing Michelle Yandle Bin Inn New Zealand is pleased to introduce Michelle Yandle from The Good Life Health as our new Healthy living (spokesperson/Ambassador/etc).

For All Your Healthy Inspirations 7 Chocolate Spotlight A good quality dark chocolate can be a healthy addition to your holiday treats. During the holiday season, instead of indulging in milk chocolate or white chocolate – have a small amount of dark chocolate instead (over 70% cocoa) which has a heap of health benefits associated with it, without all the sugar. HAVE A GO AT MAKING YOUR OWN DARK CHOCOLATE! Dark chocolate is plant-derived and contains flavonoids which act as antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can also cause damage that leads to heart disease and other conditions. Flavonoids also help relax blood ½ cup raw cacao pressure through the production of nitric oxide and balance certain powder hormones in the body. ½ cup cold pressed Cocoa also stimulates endorphin production, which gives us a feeling of pleasure, and serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant. Remember: This doesn’t mean you should eat a kilo of chocolate a day over the holidays! Most studies done used only about 80 - 90 grams of dark chocolate per day. Always go for dark chocolate: milk or white chocolate cannot make any health claims and are high in sugar. Skip the nougat and caramel filled chocolates, these filings add extra sugar and refined fats and lower the health benefits. Go for a 70% + dark chocolate or better yet, make your own raw dark chocolate. coconut oil or cacao butter 3-4 Tbsp raw honey, maple syrup or coconut nectar (or a couple drops of liquid stevia) A pinch of sea salt Simply melt the coconut oil on low heat over a double boiler. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cacao powder, then add the sweetener of your choice and sea salt. Pour into moulds and place in the fridge or freezer to set.

Try a new vegetable or fruit once a week to see if you like it – just because you didn’t like Brussels Sprouts as a kid doesn’t mean you wont like them now. 2. Swapsies! There is no reason to deprive yourself over the holidays – there are heaps of recipes for nutrient rich desserts that are just as decadent as the real thing. Do a search online for your favourite treat and simply add a “healthy” or “paleo” in the front and you know it’s a better choice 3. Clean out your cupboard and give away that food that doesn’t serve you healthily. Out of sight – out of mind! 4. Start moving! Commit to a realistic amount of time each week to move your body and stick to it. Try out different types of exercise until you find something that you enjoy. It’s easy to incorporate movement into your daily routine; park further away from the shop, use your grocery bags to do bicep curls, use stairs instead of escalators, or even do some squats while watching the TV. The opportunities are endless 5. Take some time to relax! The holidays can be a very stressful time for some and stress is never good for our health. Take some time to relax in the bath with some lavender and music you love – you deserve it! 7. Set small but sustainable goals over the holidays. Goals can be as simple as drinking more water or doing stretches at the office. We sometimes think we need to do a complete overhaul for results but research shows that small steps can lead to more sustainable changes. 8. Practice Mindful eating: Christmas dinners are well known for bloated tummies and afternoon naps. To prevent this simply try slowing down at the dinner table. Take some deep breaths prior to eating and put your fork down in between bites. Still finding it hard to slow down? Try eating with chopsticks! 9. Practice forgiveness: The holidays are a time to relax and enjoy time with family – so you had a piece of cake – big deal! Crowd it out with heaps of healthy delicious foods and you’re still winning. 10. Enjoy some Vitamin L: Taking care of your health is so important over the holidays but you also need to enjoy time with 6. Stay hydrated! Did you know our hunger increases by 25% family and friends and reduce stress about eating. Vitamin L – or when we’re thirsty? Make sure to carry a water bottle with you at all Love is a powerful nutrient that only comes from food enjoyed times and for every glass of alcohol you have over the holidays make with good company.

Place the recipe in between the prongs of a fork and place it upside down in a glass or mug. This way it won’t get lost amongst the cooking utensils and ingredients and will remain clean and dry. TIPS FOR BAKING YOUR CHRISTMAS FRUIT CAKES For a richer darker cake add one tspn of Treacle or one tspn of Coffee Essence. For a moister cake add 2 tablespoons of salad oil to the mix. This will also assist in making it less crumbly. Other tips for a moister cake are to use half tea and half water which will also improve the flavour. To prevent the top of the cake from crusting cover it with a brown paper bag in the oven after it has been baking for 45-60 minutes. www.bininn.co.nz 13 S T L IL M A ST E R RS U O V FLA A complete range of flavour extracts made with pride from the finest ingredients New bottles and sachets from Stillmaster and Brewmaster Flavour Burst A wide range of pure, concentrated essences and colours to enhance your culinary skills Essences Made In NZ Colours Available from most Bin Inn Foodmarkets www.bininn.co.nz 14 Bin Inn Christmas & New Year Prize Bonanza Take the time to sign up to our mailing list either instore or by visiting our webiste www.bininn.co.nz to not only receive future E-news letters , Barrel Talks and other promotions but go in the draw to win one of these fablous prizes Beyond the Bin Twin Mixer Breville Twin Scraper Mixer Valued at $740.00 retail.
