It’s all about the berries this morning! I’m currently battling the sugar cravings again, and it’s a real struggle. We need to listen to our bodies, but also be able to recognise when our bodies are taking through an addiction, and make wise choices instead. Banana, strawberries, blueberries and coconut milk. Lots of goodness in … Continue reading
I have been trying to stick to mainly vegetables in juices and smoothies, with an 80/20 ratio of veg to fruit. Some days though, you just need a little extra sweetness to get you going in the morning. I started some power plate sessions in November, and today was my first session of the new … Continue reading
I have an amazing, foolproof recipe for ginger cake that has always been my go-to recipe…until cutting out gluten and refined sugar. It was full of sugar, treacle and syrup, and coated in more syrup. I have really missed it, so I had a go at making a ginger cake today that contained less refined … Continue reading
Sometimes you just want something sticky, stodgy and chocolatey to eat. I confess that I am a comfort eater, so I try to find recipes that bring comfort without all the bad stuff. These brownies are lovely and squidgy, really chocolatey, and have an amazing icing on top. You have … Continue reading
These muffins are easy enough to make in the morning for breakfast. They are lovely eaten warm, and you could even spread some butter on them too! They are also great for packed lunches and after school snacks. Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups oats 1 cup plain … Continue reading
I have not found a nice gluten free granola anywhere. It really is very easy to make, although pricey when using just nuts and seeds. If you are OK with oats then you could always bulk it out with some oats. The ingredients listed below are just an example of quantities … Continue reading
Today I had planned on having prawn salad for lunch, but a cold salad wasn’t too appealing by the time it got to lunch, as I have been feeling the cold lately. I decided to do a bit of a stir fry with them instead. I added a bit of chilli to add to the … Continue reading
My first juice in ages! I wanted something simple and refreshing to ease me back into juicing. Ingredients: – 1 carrot – 1 apple – 1 stick of celery – 1/3 cucumber – small piece of fresh ginger
For today’s breakfast I needed something sweet and filling – fruit and oats seemed like a good option. Soak the oats in water before adding to the smoothie or it can be rather bitty. Ingredients: – 2 bananas – 1/2 cup raspberries – 1/2 cup strawberries – 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt – 1/2 cup soaked … Continue reading
Yes it’s been another two months since my last post. I’m still pretty tired out with looking after children and being pregnant, so some things get left behind. My eating still hasn’t been the best over the last two months, and I have given in to sugar again 😦 With the weather being a bit … Continue reading
One junk food that I still keep getting cravings for is pizza! The flyers that come through the door every week don’t help either. I decided to try having a go at making cauliflower crust pizza, as I have seen it floating around on pinterest, and it looks … Continue reading
Making healthy, filling lunches for my husband while he’s at work can be difficult. There are only so many salads that he wants to eat! Today I have put together brown rice and mixed vegetables. Yummy and colourful! Brown Rice is extremely good for you, compared with white rice which has very few benefits. The … Continue reading
I am taking part in Foo Foo fun club classes, and part of it involves looking at what we eat. Amazeballs are recommended as a healthy snack alternative. I had a go at making two sorts this week. I just used what I had in the cupboard. Now they are in the fridge ready for … Continue reading
This is basically a flapjack type recipe, which I made in cup cake cases, but you could also bake it on a tray and use as granola. I normally do a “non chocolate” version, but I needed something a little chocolatey to snack on! Ingredients; – 2 cups oats (use gluten free if preferred) – … Continue reading
