Quinoa is growing increasingly into the superfood market everyday, and … Continue reading Superfood: Red Quinoa
Hula Hoop
Blasting belly fat isn't easy, and there's only so long that you can hold a plank for, and only so many dozen sit ups before you're burnt out. In my eyes, the truth to toning up is to keep switching up your workouts. If you do too much of one thing, you end up becoming … Continue reading Hula Hoop

Tomato, Pea and Basil Risotto
As crazy as it may sound, up until this week I'd never actually had risotto before. It sounded too much like hard work and I could never find a recipe that I really liked the look of.

Cocoa Coffee Protein Shake
It's Monday, so why not start the week off properly?!

Super Healthy Homemade Parfait
Everyone says it, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it really is! If you're not fuelling your body for the rest of the day, you'll just get hungry really quickly and end up snacking all day and eating a lot more than you really need.

Choc-berry Muffins
I used to love nothing more than a double chocolate chip muffin and a hot chocolate from Costa every now and again, but not only does it waste money, it also builds on your waist. As a chocoholic, I couldn't imagine living without my fix of the sweet stuff, and so building recipes that included … Continue reading Choc-berry Muffins

Whether it's an iced coffee in the summer or a warm almond milk latte in the winter, I can't get enough of my daily caffeine fix. Having Illy coffee so readily … Continue reading The Caffeine Fix
Chocolate Bark
I'm a little co-co-crazy when it comes to the sweet stuff, but ever since embarking on my fitness journey, I've only had raw cacao which I've used in some of my recipes. Gone are the days of indulging in a bar of Dairy Milk, and I'm far more aware of what I'm putting into my … Continue reading Chocolate Bark
