Simple lunch today.

Found onions, garlic, sprouts, mushrooms and kale on the fridge.

Fried them in olive oil then added 1/2 cup quinoa and topped with smoked salmon and sesame seeds.

Made enough for tomorrow and that will be topped with leftover roast chicken.

WORKSHOP - INTRO TO GUT HEALTH
NEXT WEDNESDAY 30th AUGUST 6pm - 7.30pm

Gut health refers to the balance of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. When these microorganisms are out of balance, it can lead to a variety of health problems such as gastrointestinal issues and weakened immune system. Therefore, it's essential to maintain a healthy gut to improve overall well-being.
In this workshop, we'll dive deeper into the importance of gut health, the factors that affect it, and the steps to maintain it.

We'll explore how our diet, stress levels, and lifestyle choices influence the gut microbiome and what we can do to support it.

Participants will learn about the benefits of probiotics and prebiotics, the role of fiber in gut health, and how to incorporate them into their diet.

This is brilliant! Such an easy way to make soup with homegrown veg.

SOUP BOXES

I have had so many questions regarding soup boxes

Today I have tomato soup boxes available

They contain a basic recipe and all the vegtables required for this recipe all you need to add is olive oil and vegtable stock

These are available to just pop in and buy and are £4.00 each

Other flavours will be available soon

I challenged myself this week to make sure I am having 30 different plants.

It’s only Thursday morning and I am already at 31! 🤩👏

This is how I usually eat so it’s actually not been hard at all.

Clients often feel they could never achieve this but I look at the list below……

What can you add in today??

Just out the gym.

Did I want to go when I woke up…..eh absolutely not!

My hand hovered over the cancel button on the app……

Then I thought what would I do with the time I had set aside to exercise.

I would have sat on my ass, watched Netflix or finished my book.

As tempting those options were they are not going to keep me well.

So I got off my ass and did 45mins exercise class.

45 mins that it!

Now I am feeling great and plan to read my book in the sun later.

Hope you are getting off your ass today and moving your body! 💪🏻

Now for food shopping, housework and grass cutting 🙄🙄

You don’t need to cook a gourmet meal every night!

I am home alone tonight as everyone is working and couldn’t be bothered cooking. 🤷‍♀️

So I made porridge followed up with fruit and yogurt.

Still packed loads of nutrients in though!

Oats
Flaxseed
Cinnamon
Mixed nuts
Banana

Plums
Nectarine
Chia seeds
Mixed seeds
Coconut yogurt

10 different plants in my super easy dinner!

Go me 💪🏻

It’s not what you take out but what you add in 😋
