I love love muesli for breakfast or topped on yogurt for a healthy snack and this homemade muesli is delicious and filling. It’s so simple but so much healthier than the shop bought versions which usually contain added sugar or oils. With this homemade version you know exactly what is going in it and it’s only good stuff. It’s so quick to make and will keep up to 30 days in an airtight contain so no excuses for a healthy breakfast…
It’s British egg week so why not stick an egg on top of everything! Seriously this dish is scrumptious and made even better with the boiled eggs on top and a dash of tamari. Healthy carbs, protein and good fats with some glorious greens and spices make this a healthy bowl of yumminess…
I feel like this year is on fast forward? I can’t believe we are now in October. It’s been exciting and busy for everyone but like I wrote about in my post “Don’t Forget About Me London”, we can let life run away without really sitting back and reflecting. This is why I am BIG on “me time”, slowing down and pressing pause on life. Life’s too short to spend it in a rush! There’s many ways I love to press pause but after being introduced to the new Origins RitualiTea Mask Collection recently I have a new favourite press pause moment that I wanted to share with you today.
Food prep is key to staying on track during the week and Sunday’s are my favourite days to get organised. I thought I’d share 3 simple things I prep that really help me out in the week when I don’t have much time. This time of year I make sure I keep my motivation by prepping my meals and planning my workouts. As the mornings get darker and the evenings get chillier it’s get’s a bit more of a challenge not too ditch the sweat session for an extra hour in bed and avoid having 3 hot chocolates a day right?
This is my healthy egg salad recipe and it’s so versatile, you can make up a batch and use it on top of salads, in a roll, topped on toasted sourdough, as a side and it makes a great breakfast, lunch or dinner too. I’ve used greek yogurt instead of normal mayo which tastes delicious and I promise you won’t even know the rocket is there…
This is pretty much all my favourite foods in a salad and I would totally add feta too but today I’ve opted without it making this salad a vegan option. I also didn’t have any! Remember making your plate as colourful as possible is what you are looking for. I’ve dressed the base of watercress and quinoa with lemon and dried oregano to make it super tasty and then topped with roasted sweet potato, cherry tomatoes and red pepper. The whole thing is then finished off with pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, avocado and a crack of pink himalayan salt…
I’m sure you’ve heard of matcha by now especially if you live in London; you can grab a matcha latte at most of my favourite cafes in the city now. So why are people choosing matcha over coffee for their energy fix? Well matcha does still contain caffeine but less than coffee and where the caffeine in coffee gives you a hit of energy very quickly; the caffeine in matcha is released slower giving you more sustained energy. It also have 137 times the antioxidants than a normal green tea as the whole green tea leaves are ground into a fine powder. I love this powder form as I can enjoy my beloved lattes at home and also add it to smoothies and even bliss balls. Here’s my new favourite vanilla matcha smoothie…
