BANG IN SOME BEANS 🫘 (No superfoods needed…)

Have you heard about the nationwide campaign to encourage people to double their bean consumption?

Led by .foundation & this campaign wants to show off how cheap, tasty, easy and nutritious beans are (plus, they’re environmentally friendly).

Let’s look at some beany facts…👇🏼

🫘 They’re full of fibre, and contain protein, potassium, magnesium, iron and zinc. No cholesterol and pretty low in calories. Great for gut health!

🫘 They are planet friendly with low greenhouse gas emissions.

🫘 They’re affordable, which is so important for most families. We don’t always have to opt for organic, superfoods. Beans are inexpensive and easy.

🫘 There’s so many different types and tastes (including legumes too). Black beans, white beans, butter beans, lentils, chickpeas…. And you can buy them already cooked in a tin. Just throw them into any meal!

🫘 There’s so many ways to eat them: throw them into a stew, air fry them, roast them, fry them…

Super easy lunch prep for the week (protein and fibre packed)

I make this all the time with a different spin on it depending on what’s in the fridge. Here’s my favourite recipe 👇🏼

*5 step squash, leek and sage frittata* (keeps for 3-4 days)

Method:

1. Roast some butternut squash and leek for 30 mins at 170 (use 2 tbsp olive oil).

2. Mix 10 eggs with your fave herbs and spices. I used sage, chives and some chilli flakes.

3. Pour the egg mix into the roasted squash and leeks. Add feta at this point if you want.

4. Bake in the oven for a further 25 mins (keep an eye on it)

5. Let it cool, then serve with crumbled feta!

This was so delicious and handy to take with me on the go!

If there’s one small health goal you make this year…… 💪

Muscle mass is absolutely crucial for our overall physical, metabolic and hormonal health. It’s not just about aesthetics, being lean, toned or looking strong...

Building and maintaining muscle mass is SO important for women’s health, especially as we age. Yet we are more likely to be victim to changing societal body standards that tell us whether we should be smaller, leaner, thinner, less bulky, more feminine…

If I could give one piece of advice it would be to ignore the noise about body shapes and what you “should” look like (women’s body’s are not a fashion accessory), and instead focus on how YOU yourself can feel stronger and more resilient.

This doesn’t mean you have to start body building. Start small. All resistance exercises count, even body weight. Consistency really is key with this one.

And lastly, ladies, don’t wait until you’re peri menopausal to start thinking about resistance training. Build the foundations now and your future self is going to thank you.

Re-framing New Year’s resolutions to actually work…

Hands up if you feel that creeping pressure to achieve something big, implement a new rule, cut something out or start something new?

Sometimes this motivation is quite enjoyable and productive, at first…

But if it can’t survive your normal daily life or schedule, you’re setting yourself up for failure and guilt.

Instead, be realistic, enjoy the process and focus on increasing your capacity for healthier habits, rather than perfection.

What costs you the most time, effort and friction in your every day life? How can you address these instead?

What’s next to come in the health and wellbeing world in 2026?

Here’s 7 predictions which you can hold me to…

What did I miss? Would love to hear your thoughts!

P.s. I could write a whole substack on weight loss medications, it’s a really interesting, amazing and complex topic so forgive my lack of nuance on the last one!

More wellbeing trends that I DON’T do (which would send wellbeing influencers into a frenzy).

Can 2026 be the year of tapping back into free/ inexpensive health habits and tools 🙏

Don’t get me wrong… I’m not against many of these things and if they bring you enjoyment, relaxation or other health benefits then absolutely go for it.

What I’m trying to say is, you don’t NEED to do all (or any) of these things for health.

The best health tools are pretty basic, easy or free;

Daily balanced meals
Fruits and veg
Daily movement
Sleep
Nature
Rest
Deep breathing
Throwing your phone in the bin
A cup of Yorkshire tea with some chocolate
A chat with friends
Laughter

6 wellbeing trends from 2025 that I actually quite liked…

Obviously some of these trends and hypes get blown way out of proportion (like protein everything… like come on we really don’t need protein water and protein mars bars). But the underlying sentiment I’m here for.

What I would love to see more of is a bit more balance and nuance when it comes to health and wellbeing trends.

I say this a lot… but the healthiest habits, diets and tools we have at our disposable are usually pretty basic, boring, inexpensive (or free)… and what we’ve always known.

If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

My not so secret ingredient to pack in some extra protein when making soup 🥣

Hear me out because there’s a lot of tofu haters out there… tofu is a super nutritious plant protein and it doesn’t really taste of anything. It will just soak up the flavours of what it is cooked in.

I blend silken tofu into soups and sauces to add a bit of extra protein to make the meal more well rounded, balanced and filling.

Beans and lentils are also fibre and protein packed, plus they’re super cheap - so arguably I’d add these first (and the silken tofu is a bonus if you can be bothered with it).

This vegetable soup 👇🏼

2x red pepper
2x leeks
1x butternut squash
2x tinned tomato
1x cup of red lentils
1x packet of silken tofu
2x stock cubes in 2 pints of water
Seasoned with random things I found in the fridge and cupboard (salt, pepper, ginger, chilli flakes, tomato puree)

I threw all of it into a slow cooker for a few hours then blended it.

And it was bloody delicious. I’m still eating the leftovers now (4 days later).

I couldn’t resist………

I saw someone do this and couldn’t help myself. Maybe I’ll stop with the sarcasm in 2026. Had to add in my 2026 health and nutrition predictions too, what do you think is next to come?
