Watching my daughter dance in earlier this month was everything and more 🄹.

I did want to go prepared as we knew queues were likely and being ā€˜hangry’ is fun for nobody! Also wanted to keep up with my supplements as I know they make me feel better…

A few things I packed (not all)

popcorn, peanut butter cups & bars
kids calm gummies
health shots
bottles
collagen sachets
magnesium biglycinate

All packed into scooter cases, which the kids absolutely loved!

Let me know what snacks and supps you’re packing for holiday this year? šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

Food Fact Friday! šŸ’›šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

Who knew these tiny seeds were doing this much behind the scenes?

One of those simple foods that can actually make a difference when you add them in regularly.

Do you eat them?
Or are they one of those ā€œlooks nice but never buyā€ foods?

As a mum, I’m not reinventing meals every night…
I’m just making small upgrades where I can

Most of us are getting around 18g fibre a day
We should be aiming for 30g+

So these little swaps quietly add up for the whole family šŸ’›

The journey has to start somewhere šŸ˜‚.

šŸšØā€¼ļøBIG NEWS THIS WEEKā€¼ļøšŸšØ

Food Fact Friday just dropped a huge new government ā€œpromiseā€ to overhaul our children!: school meals, and I’m really hoping this follows through šŸ¤žšŸ¼.

This could be transformational for so many children, when it comes to health!

How do you feel about this?
Do your kids eat school dinners?
Do you think it will happen?

Let me know šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

Had a helper this week scouting out some new finds! Lidl GB giving us some more minimal ingredient options šŸ¤ŒšŸ¼.

Crackers?
Cheese twists?
Chorizo?
Pickled garlic?
Date syrup?

Alright so I’m a nutritionist… so I probably cook everything from scratch, soak my lentils overnight and churn my own butter, right?

Yeah… no 🤣

I’m also a busy mum with a million things on the go, and some days I just don’t have time (or patience).

So yes, I love cooking from scratch…
But I also rely on convenience foods most weeks.

Not the ultra-processed, ā€œwhat even is that ingredientā€ kind, i’m talking about the ones that actually help me get a decent meal on the table, fast.

Because this is what no one talks about…
You don’t need to do everything from scratch to be healthy.

You need foods that work for your life.

These are the ones I actually buy on repeat šŸ‘€

Real life, real food, no perfection required šŸ’›

šŸ¤ŒšŸ¼Home of ā€˜picky bits’

They’ve pulled some bangers out the bag for the summer, with some minimal ingredient options, without compromising on taste.

Can’t wait for some proper sunshine, picnics and picky bits in the garden.

What will you be trying? Let me know in the comments šŸ‘‡

Alright so you know those people on Instagram who pop on looking like they’ve just woken up… but somehow have a full face of makeup on?

Yeah… this is not that. Apologies for the real morning look šŸ˜…

šŸ’œRumi Power Shakes on repeat in this house šŸ’œ
Nutrient-packed, ridiculously easy, and I can’t not get involved myself!

This one’s been a winner:

100g frozen blueberries (I use )
75g frozen avocado
250 to 300ml whole milk, any milk works
2 tablespoons raw honey (I use )

Blend it up and that’s your Rumi Power Shake šŸ’œ

At least there’s a positive use for K-Pop demon hunters 🫠.

Save this for your K-Pop loving kids šŸ’œšŸ«¶šŸ¼

I’m a nutritionist… but I’m also a massive foodie šŸ˜‹!

And if there’s one thing I’m not doing on holiday…
it’s holding back on the food.

Because let’s be real…a holiday isn’t your everyday.

It’s the croissants for breakfast,
the ice cream in the afternoon,
the dinners out, the puddings, the ā€œshall we just get it?ā€ moments

And I’m saying yes to all of it šŸ‘

No guilt.
No overthinking.
No ā€œI’ll make up for it when I’m homeā€.

Because health isn’t built in a week…
and it’s definitely not ruined in one either.

This is balance.

Eat the cake.
Have the ice cream.
Enjoy your holiday.

Big love always,

Didn’t expect to love my Oura Ring as much as I do, but it’s now part of my daily routine.

It’s helped me understand my sleep, energy, cycle, stress levels and how I respond to routine so much better, especially around early mornings.

I must admit, I didn’t realise how much I needed to improve some aspects of my health…stress and sleep being the main players!

I got my Oura from Healf, as I always feel confident ordering from there (mainly because they’re really selective in stocking quality products and the customer service has always been top notch šŸ™ŒšŸ¼).
