My Vegan Christmas – Part 1
This blog may seem a little premature, but it’s the annual friend Christmas get together this weekend so I need to start planning! In the past I’ve blogged about Quinoa Stuffed Butternut Squash, Christmas Curry, Ratatouille Tarts, Shallots with Sherry and Sprout Pakoras (see the recipe links below). But this year it’s going to be […]
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 articleHealthy Nut And Seed Bar Recipe
I made this healthy nut and seed bar recipe for our recent boot camp. They are full of good fats, slow release energy and high in protein. I love using them when I’m on my long 2-3 hour bike rides as they give me the right balance of energy to keep going and protein whilst […]
Read articleChicken, Butter Bean, Spinach & Mushroom One Pot Recipe
This is the season of slow cookers, god bless whoever invented slow cookers and how easy they make our lives. This morning I left the house with this chicken dish slowly cooking, ready for tonight’s tea. I don’t even know why I’m getting excited….it’s not even for me (I’m a veggie!) but I do like […]
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. […]
Read articleSoupalicious Veggie Soup Recipes
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 articleStuffed Peppers
Stuffing vegetable with bolognese can be such an effective way of getting protein, essentials fats and loads of your 5 (or 7) a day in at once – whilst limiting carbohydrate intake. Peppers, mushrooms and aubergines are a few of the usual stuffed vegetables – if you want a more carbohydrate based meal then think […]
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 […]
Read articleSeasonal Spag Bol Recipe!
July is the month of Courgettes, Beetroot, Chilli’s and loads of other fruit and veg! It’s also the month of some lovely hot weather (sometimes), so this recipe is perfect! This seasonal spag bol recipe is a great low carb, cold, raw, veggie/vegan version of Spaghetti Bolognaise and it uses seasonal ingredients. I’ve borrowed the […]
Read articleHarissa Chicken and Butter Bean Recipe
Just because it’s Summer doesn’t mean the slow cooker has to get banished to the back of the cupboard. We don’t have to preach that slow cookers are ace for helping you with your food prep and keeping that healthy diet on track so I wanted to share the recent Harissa Chicken & Butter Bean […]
Read articleSpiced Cauliflower Bites
Back in April I posted a picture of these tasty and spicy cauliflower bites on our Instagram, but just in case you missed it, here it is the recipe for you in full detail! The brilliant thing about cauliflower is that it’s easy to cook and quick, it takes on flavours well, AND if that […]
Read articleHealthy Granola Recipe
This healthy granola recipe is a hit in my house. It’s a great way of getting some good, healthy fats and slow release carbs in, without the added sugar of many shop bought granolas. I tend to have it with greek yoghurt and a few strawberries, but my little boy loves it with ice cold […]
