Carb free breakfast bowls – #FeedMeFridays

IMG_9796 IMG_9802 IMG_9803 IMG_9804

This is a little trick I learnt from some of the city based food locations. To keep carb free they were simply making all your favourite breakfast bits and putting them in a bowl together, so easy and so scrummy. Here are just some of my favourites!!

Baked beans, two poached eggs and half an avocado. It’s so easy to make poached eggs in the microwave! A touch of oil in some tea cups, crack an egg in and only a couple of minutes of cooking, done in short 30 second blocks so it doesn’t get overcooked.

How about poached eggs, poached eggs, roasted cherry tomatoes and melted cheese?

The list goes on, put some good things back into your diet, take out the carbs and put them in a bowl for a little bit of mixing it up

A simple and delicious twist on the traditional pesto recipe. For anyone that loves tomatoes as much as I do this recipe is packed with them and can be used in so many different ways.

Ingredients:

  • 15 cherry tomatoes
  • 150g sun-dried tomatoes
  • 50g fresh basil
  • 5 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon of tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon of dried mixed herbs
  • 30g grated parmesan

As simple as throw them all in a blender and whizz up until a blended, nice consistency

Chicken pesto – #FeedMeFridays

Pesto Chicken Pesto Chicken with Quinoa

An amazing recipe that is one of my go to recipes when I’m feeling lazy. You can make it for yourself or for a big group of people.

Ingredients:

  • two chicken breasts roughly chopped up
  • a handful of whole cherry tomatoes
  • a handful of sliced mushrooms (mine are frozen!)
  • a handful of broccoli (mine are frozen)
  • a handful of spinach (mine is frozen)
  • a batch of my home made green pesto

Throw it all in the oven and let it cook on 180 degrees for a good 45 minutes or so, scrummy!

When it comes out you can eat it just as is, or you can boil up some quinoa, cous cous, rice, bread, pasta, the list goes on ! yummmmm

1st of the Month! – All change

all-change

Hello all my lovelies

Today is the first day of July and it signals big changes around the world, in the yea and most importantly on this blog.

Speaking to some of you, it seems a lot of you really enjoy these blog posts but we need a bit more consistency and a bit more planning so....here it comes.

From today I'm going to try and post once a day, every day. I'll be talking about lots of different things but the majority of them will be about your health, happiness and fitness. Not only that but I'll be categorising my posts and each day will be themed around a certain topic which are listed below.

Feel free to read them all, read only the days that you find relevant and more importantly try them out. I want to help you all think more about being healthier, being more aware and trying to make any changes, small or big to work towards your happiness and health.

Posts will start regularly from tomorrow so keep an eye out. If you want to help me spread the word, likes, follows, shares would all be much appreciated!!
