When we want to see change, one of the first questions which get asked is “what can I do?”

Aside from educating yourself about the issue, speaking to friends and family about it, one of the most impactful things you can do is change your purchasing habits.

Whilst you feel that as an individual you may not have an impact, you’d be surprised by how many like minded individuals there are.

If you want to animals which have been treated well, buy products with those accreditations. If you want to have a high street with local, non-chain shops, then buy from those shops.

Whilst you may not be able to afford for all your items to be fair trade, locally made, plastic free etc. You may be able to pick up from fair trade bananas or some British bacon.

Companies seek profits, and so buying those products make them more investable and can in future bring the prices down.

It’s a lie that you don’t have any personal power, you do.

You don’t have to do everything, but you can start with something.

You’ve got this 💪

Why you shouldn’t worry about what you eat on holiday.

Ask yourself why you want to live a healthier lifestyle. Generally, it’s to live a higher quality life for longer.

When we make changes, we do have to be disciplined to maintain them because unfortunately, our food system is not designed for health and so we do have to go out of our way to make healthier choices.

But often, we can lose sight of our perspective and end up restricting ourselves too tightly. Many people I work with worry about holidays because they’ll ‘undo’ all their hard work.

But when you’re learning to shift your mindset, it’s not about not having an ice cream, it’s about learning when to have the ice cream and how many to have.

It doesn’t matter if, for a few days, you don’t have all your fruit and veg, or you have too many pastries or ice creams.

Learning to live a healthier lifestyle is learning when to say no, but also when to say yes.

No guilt, just enjoyment.

Love Frey 🤍

We often talk about the cost of healthy eating but what is just as impactful is the time it takes to prepare healthy food.

Most of my batch cooking for the week is done on a Sunday. Great way to reduce the stress of mid-week meals. When we eat in a rush, we often miss out on key nutrients. My girl fibre gets missed out the most. Mad because she is key for good digestive and mental health. She also keeps you feel more full and satisfied with your meal. Fibre is your girl.

Remember pre chopped and undressed salad can sit in your fridge absolutely fine for 3-5 days. TIP 1: Add some kitchen towel at bottom of container to absorb the moisture to reduce salad sogginess
TIP 2: Add any avocado at point of serving rather than going brown in your batch salad.

Coleslaw: Great way of getting extra veg and fibre. Also last 3-5 days in a fridge. Add some chipotle or gochujang paste for extra flavour.

Roasted Beans: Cheap way of getting protein and fibre. Easy topper.
TIP 3: Once roasted can last 1-2 weeks in an air-tight container in a cool, dark place.

TIP 4: Leftovers from previous meals can be reheated and used as toppers.

Save your time, reduce your food waste, improve your health.

Happy Sunday everyone ☀️

So many of us identify as a “all or nothing” person, but did you know it’s actually more likely to be holding you back?

DM me if you want to know more for how to change this.

Favourite type of Noods: Quick and Satisfying 💁🏼‍♀️

Now we’re not always used to pairing curry and noodles together but what 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 combo 👏🏻

Thai Yellow Curry Noodles with coconut milk, aubergine, courgette, peppers, mushrooms, and chicken. Topped with spring onions, chives, and peanuts.

1. Fry or roast your veggies and any protein you want with onions, garlic, and ginger then put to the side.
2. Fry off your curry paste of choice and add in a tin or two of coconut milk and cook until slightly thickened. Add a bit of water if you want but don’t overdo it, no one likes a thin curry 💁🏼‍♀️.
3. Cook rice noodles as per packet instructions.
4. Mix together and top with your fave toppings and enjoy 💃🏼

I used frozen veg and two tins of coconut milk which made 5 portions of curry, 4 of which went into the freezer to save for the week. As always, great way of using leftover veg and reducing food waste!

Let me know what you think, mad love ❤️

The deadline for registering to vote is 23:59 tonight. You can still apply for a proxy or postal vote after, but you need to make sure that you are registered first.

This is especially important for first time voters or people who have moved house.

For those who are unsure for who to vote for, the https://uk.isidewith.com quiz can be really useful to understand which party you align with or https://tactical.vote to specifically aim to reduce the risk of certain parties winning.

For educating yourself, I highly recommend the and podcasts (they are both left leaning, I don’t have recommendations for right leaning podcasts).

On socials, you should definitely follow and as they give a fantastic overview, as well as

Educate yourself, use your voice and for the love of the gods, vote.

When I say that I studied food politics, people would ask me what that even was. But both your choice and your access to food, whether it healthy, ethical, or sustainable is political.

Perfect example, I used to buy Sabra hummus, it was expensive but delicious. However as an Israeli product, and given the sanctions we put on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, I no longer feel comfortable purchasing it.

What you purchase and where is a political choice (whether you like it or not). Now we can’t do everything perfectly, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do anything. So why buy something harmful when you can make it yourself?

RECIPE ☀️

1. Throw one cans-worth of chickpeas in the oven on 200C having seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and zaatar.
2. Empty another can of chickpeas and water into a pan and boil with 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda, 2-3 cloves of garlic, and 1 tsp salt. Boil until soft. Add more water if you need to.
3. Empty contents into a blender and add tahini and lemon juice.
4. Spoon on to a plate and add some olive oil, seasonings, and top with the roasted chickpeas.
5. Enjoy ☺️

You can also then donate the money you would have spent on expensive hummus. Everything helps ❤️‍🩹

Now that spring and summer are starting to peak through, we’re all getting back into gardening and houseplants.

As you know I’m all for this, but sometimes our methods may actually be damaging our plant babies, as well as our planet.

Whilst chemical fertilisers do help get a bigger plant, in the long run it may be doing some damage.

Have a go with more organic options, protect your plants, protect your soil, and help the planet. Triple win.

Any questions, hmu. 💚

The one, the only, NAN’S TRAITOR PASTA ❤️

Now, contrary to *some* opinions, this pasta is your perfect quick meal. 15 mins. Bish bash bosh done.

1. Cook your pasta (shorter pasta works best but you do you)
2. Whilst pasta is cooking, chop spinach and tomatoes.
3. When pasta is cooked, mix in spinach, tomatoes, tuna, mayo, salt, and pepper to taste.

Swap in mackerel or salmon for an oily fish, or other salad veg if you don’t like spinach or tomatoes.

Cheap. Quick. Healthy.
What more could you want for a meal?

My nan used to make this meal for me and my sister (sans veg) when I was a kid and it will always be my go to if I’m ever sad or stressed or in need of comfort. Post nutrition degree I did add the veg cause even great things can be improved.

It then had to be renamed due to some unapproving Italian opinions (who knew you’re not meant to add mayo to pasta- madness, I know).

Let me know what you think!

Mad love ❤️
