Corn and Courgette Cakes
Time is the biggest killer of my love for cooking and trying new recipes. If I had it all my way I would experimenting and trying new foods all the time, unfortunately I don’t prioritise this as highly as I should. I still manage to eat relatively well, but it usually easy meals such as […]
Read articleWhat Does a Balanced Diet Look Like?
How many of you splurged a bit this Christmas? Who do you know who uses Christmas as an excuse to eat and drink what they like as they’ll “sort it in the new year”? Who was keen to get back to the gym, but not as keen to get on the scales? I guarantee it’s […]
Read articleWhen the Fodmap Vegan met the Buddha Bowl!
I currently follow so many fodmap and vegans on instagram, whose food is so beautifully presented, that I spend a lot of my time hungry! One thing I have noticed however, is that this delicious looking food is predominantly presented in a bowl. Aka a Buddha Bowl. I started to ask myself, is this what a Buddha Bowl […]
Read articleWinter Warming Circuit Training Session
I joke around and always say – ‘self-praise is no praise’, however I just wrote the best circuit training session for class this evening! What The Benefits of Circuit Training? – High metabolic demanding, therefore it is great for fat burning. – Time efficient, people don’t always want to be in the gym for 60 […]

I think it may be time to ditch the shorts, it is officially cold! Just got inside from the lunch time class and my hands are like ice cubes – it has taken me 20 minutes to type this first sentence out! When it comes to weather like this there is only one type of […]
Read articleAubergine, Spinach & Lentil Bolognese Recipe
I’ve got to say a massive thank you Jo Stepaniak (low-Fodmap and Vegan) for this lentil bolognese recipe! Whilst I’m currently finding it hard to recognise anything tomato and aubergine based as not being a form of Ratatouille; I had to give this Aubergine, Spinach and Lentil Bolognese recipe a go because it doesn’t contain courgette or […]
Read articleCurried Pumpkin And Red Lentil Soup
Last week I wrote a blog about seasonal foods and I promised some seasonal food as part of this months recipes, so here we go with my curried pumpkin and red lentil soup! I’ve never been a massive fan of pumpkin if I’m honest – I’m more of a butternut squash person. But on this […]
Read articleFood Trackers – Good or Bad?
Up until about a month ago I had always tried to eat healthy but never counted my calorie intake. If I was eating mostly proteins, good carbohydrates and good fats – whilst limiting the ‘crap’ foods I would be happy. To be completely honest that worked well for me, considering how active I am I […]
Read articleAlex’s Healthy Veggie Chilli Recipe
I just stepped back into the studio from nearly getting blown away during lunch time class, and Brrrrrrr it is cold (when the sun goes in)! I’m not generally a big fan of Autumn, but one part of Autumn I most definitely am a fan of is the food associated with this time of year. […]

I’m a big fan of something quick, easy and warm for my evening meal – especially when it starts getting dark at 7pm! One thing that hits this list is soup. It is so easy to make soups in a quick amount of time, with very few ingredients – it’s a no brainer! Whilst the […]
Read articleA Healthy Chicken Bake!
Non-gym goers love to make fun of people have an active lifestyle, saying that the food is boring and all they eat is chicken and vegetables. Obviously not true. However…chicken is one of the best sources of protein available and a good variety of vegetables is key to anyone’s diet or goals. I do agree […]

Read articleWhat Do I Eat? The Food Diary of A Personal Trainer
It used to be the case that I got asked on a regular basis where I got my protein from, but not any more. These days I find that people are actually interested in what a personal trainers daily diet looks like. I guess we are always advising people on their diets so it’s only right […]
Read articleLook At My Plums! Plum Flapjack Recipe
I realise of course that my food blogs make it sound like I have a garden full of fruit and vegetables – which honestly isn’t true. The back garden has some remaining rhubarb and raspberries, dying courgettes in far too small pots and a chill plant sprouting the biggest chillis I’ve ever seen! In the […]
Read articlePastryless Quiche
When it comes to eating healthily, a lot of recipes are altered to make them healthier (Shepherd’s pie, cauliflower rice, protein pancakes etc etc etc.). Sometimes instead of completely changing the recipe, removing one part of the recipe will do the job. Pastry is something we would rarely recommend eating due to the high fat […]
