My Favourite Spice Mix

Yesterday I spent all day backstage coaching for bikini at our local competition. While there is a lot of exciting up time there is also the same in down time waiting....and listening to other athletes discussing their dieting methods- or I should say madness. Countless remarks were made about how bland and plain their food had to be. I truly felt sorry for them. Sure food is fuel, but it is also pleasure! I and my athletes have proven over and over that you can eat good, satisfying food and still be in tip top shape!

This spice mix will change your life- and many meals to come. So versatile to garnish or add to any dish. I love it on everything from eggs, meats, potatoes, grain dishes, veggies and mixed in thick greek yogurt as a dip. Your options are endless and food flavourFULL!



  • 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp ancho chilli powder
  • 3 tbsp sweet paprika
  • 3 tbsp ground cumin
  • 3 tbsp ground coriander
  • 3 tbsp ginger
  • 3 packs stevia
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp fine himalyan sea salt
  • 2 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp ground cloves
  • 1 tbsp ground fennel 
  • 1 tbsp allspice

Mix all of the ingredients together well. Store in an air tight jar and use as desired.
