Eating well can & SHOULD be enjoyable & fit into your busy life! ✨🩷

When you eat nourishing meals you feel energised, satisfied & your blood sugars stabilise, eliminated the constant food noise from cravings & hunger. Things snowball & suddenly everything feels easier, clearer, you feel great & ready to handle your busy life without the overwhelm!

Focus on these 5 things (or start with 1 & build from there) and eating well to nourish your body & feel your best will suddenly feel doable:

⭐ Have a plan - meal planning eliminates last minute & impulsive decisions that may lead to convenience foods or throw together meals that leave you feeling tired & hungry. It will save you money πŸ€‘, time βŒ› & extra clutter in your already busy brain! 🀯

⭐ Follow the simple model of: PLANT DIVERSITY (aim for at least 4-5+ different vegetables on your plate including different colours) 🌈 + PROTEIN (30-40+ g protein per meal) + HEALTHY FATS e.g avocado, nuts, or seeds = a satisfying nutrient dense meal

⭐ Have high protein breakfast staples on hand e.g eggs, cottage cheese, protein powder, Greek/high protein yoghurt to start your day well βœ…

⭐ Leftovers for lunch - it's a win win win πŸ™Œ Reduces prep time, tasty nutritious lunch sorted, and saves wasting money on bought lunches that don't usually don't deliver on nutrition or satiety

⭐ Fill your meals with flavour & texture. This adds enjoyment, makes you feel full for longer (chewing increases satiety) & using herbs & spices boosts your intake of beneficial plant compounds 🌿🌱

Even if you just focus on one of these tips over the next week or 2 you will feel so much better πŸ₯° Then you can build from there because you WILL feel so much better & the momentum will begin!! πŸ™ŒπŸ©·

Here you go πŸ‘‰ Raspberry & Coconut Bliss Balls

🩷 Makes 18 delicious bliss balls

🩷 INGREDIENTS
Coconut oil: 1 1/2 T
Peanut butter: 2 T
Maple syrup: 2 T
Monk fruit extract: 2 T
Raspberries (frozen): 1 1/2 cup
Lemon juice: 2 T
Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, brazil nuts, hazelnuts): 3/4 cup
Desiccated coconut: 1 1/2 cup
Chia seeds: 2 T
Vanilla protein powder: 1/2 cup
Coconut flour: 1/2 cup
Psyllium husk: 3 T

🩷 METHOD
⭐ Add the coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, monk fruit extract, vanilla extract, lemon juice and frozen raspberries to a pot and heat over low-medium heat, stirring until melted and combined
⭐ In a food processor blend the nuts until smooth. Add 1 cup of the desiccated coconut, the chia seeds, protein powder, coconut flour, psyllium husk and the wet ingedients from the pot to the food processor. Blend until smooth and well mixed (a ball will form with the mixture)
⭐ Cover a plate with the remaining desiccated coconut
⭐ Roll the mixture into 18 bliss balls and roll in the desiccated coconut
⭐ Place in a container, referigerate and leave to set

🩷 TIPS
This recipe uses a whey protein powder, if you are using a plant based protein powder you will need extra liquid as plant based protein powders are more absorbent. Add an extra 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice or use unsweetened almond milk

⭐⭐ Each bliss ball provides 5 g of protein & 5 g of fibre πŸ™Œ

So often I see women set themselves up for failure - following unrealistic (and monotonous) diets that lead to their weight yo-yo-ing & their body confidence crashing.

Does this sound like you?
It doesn't have to be this way...what if you could lose weight, support your gut health & feel great, all while being able to:

πŸ’« Enjoy an ice cream with your family

πŸ’«Go out for dinner & order what you really want (which may include a glass of wine) - without any guilt

It's all about having consistency with your foundational nutrition - the basis of what you do most of the time AND this can & should be enjoyable & satisfying too!

"Lose weight without even really trying" Dallas

" The difference is UNBELIEVABLE (after 5 days). Each day I have had more & more energy" Sarah

If you are a 35+ women ready to regain your energy & lose weight but don't want to give up the foods you love or go on another fad diet, I have everything you need (& more!) in my Women's Wellbeing Reset.

Say NO to perfection & hello to new found confidence.

Sign up today & feel like a new you this summer 🩷🩷

Are you a Halloween fan...or a bit torn like me?

Part of me can't help but cringe at the excessive amount of lollies that get consumed & bought home and the idea of knocking on strangers doors and asking for treats doesn't sit well with me... thankfully I live in an awesome community where many of the neighbourhood aren't strangers!

BUT on the other hand I love seeing the fun & excitement that Halloween brings & all the thought & creativeness that goes into kids costumes & house decorations!

I grew up in an era when Halloween wasn't really a thing, partly because I lived in the country & partly because of my age! 🀣

What is your take? Are you are fan...or a bit of a grinch? πŸŽƒ
