As some of you may know, I haven’t been well recently so I have made some important lifestyle changes to help myself as much as possible.
With that, I’m revamping my philosophy to reflect a clean eating approach to health using fully natural, whole food ingredients that are dairy and gluten free.
Most of them will be vegan, although some may include chicken or fish (as I still choose to eat those through personal choice).
*Please note- I am still in permission to eat whatever I want, however just like I did without this condition- I ask myself “will this help me?” And “Is this what I need right now?” I then weigh out the options and choose what is best in that moment.
Disclaimer- These are my personal choices and are by no means an indication to how you should eat to help yourself- you do what’s safe and healthy for you.
But I do hope these bakes and makes will inspire you all, and who knows- maybe I’ll post the recipes one day 👀

🍦 CRAVINGS 🍦
So today I worked out super hard for near enough 3 hours and then after lunch found myself CRAVING icecream…
I had a couple of choices:
🍦 1. Tell myself NO “you’ll undo all of your hard work” and restrict myself from what I really wanted and what my body really wanted. Knowing that this will inevitably result in the binge restrict cycle, eventually resulting back to eating the ice-cream at some point-probably eating way more than I initially intended and feeling rubbish.
🍦2. Give myself something else to “fill the void” such as fat free yoghurt or a protein shake. Knowing that that really wasn’t what I wanted and that this will also inevitably result in the binge restrict cycle, eventually resulting back to eating the ice-cream at some point-probably eating way more than I initially intended and feeling rubbish.
🍦3. Give myself a serving of the ice cream that feels good to me without guilt and shame, remain feeling good and MOVE ON WITH MY DAY⭐️
It’s been years of trial and error but eventually I have learnt number 3 will ALWAYS be the best option when experiencing a craving. Not only did number 3 allow me to enjoy the food I wanted, but prevented me from feeling guilty, shameful and stuck in the binge restrict cycle.
AND YOU CAN FEEL THIS TOO 👇

Self care as a woman 💁♀️
Someone asked me “why do you think we, as women, have such a difficult time prioritising ourselves and our care?”
My response: Our cultures’ and society’s expectations of women goes back generations.
Historically, in our culture women’s purpose was always seen to be to have children and raise those children. Hence, why many of us today struggle to commit to self care because it’s still engrained in our culture that women should be caring for their children first and foremost. And caring for oneself is “selfish”. 🙄 (so many eye rolls).
There have even been studies around the growth of diet culture throughout history and how the desire to become thin correlates with the patriarchy aiming to make women “smaller” and to take up less space/ have less of a voice than men.
As someone who is childless by choice, it really grinds my gears that women are still often only seen to raise children - whereas I have ambitions, goals, a career and being childless is my choice so I can pursue those etc - intentions that if any man wanted to pursue would not be looked twice at. (Please note I am not discrediting those who have children and a career as that is perfectly possible too)- you do you 🙂.
I’d also like to recognise and acknowledge those who are not cis-gender, and I do recognise my privilege in being the same gender as the s*x I was given at birth.
That being said, I’d like to end my mini rant by saying self care is not selfish and to care for others you must care for yourself first. PERIOD. However you choose to live your life, if you are doing the best you can in a legal, healthy, safe, and respectful way- you go! 🎉

I am an athlete. 💕
If you work out, you move your body, you challenge yourself- then you are an athlete too….
Being an athlete is not defined by physical appearance, and “I am” statements set the premise for what you become 💚
So what are you?

Intuitive eating doesn’t always mean eating all the pancakes… 🤫
For me, it meant that today I chose to have my pancakes and eat them with a side of protein and vitamins to keep full and FEEL GOOD 💞
Carbs- homemade pancakes and granola
Protein- white chocolate Kvarg
Micronutrients- cherries!
Satisfaction- unmeasured spoon of spread 😋

🍒White chocolate and berry protein flapjacks! 💪
This is my own recipe so feel free to give it a whirl and tag me in your creations! ✨
Serves 12
Ingredients:
✨150g jumbo oats (I use …)
✨50g ground oats (I blend jumbo oats)
✨100g protein powder (I use 4 scoops of vanilla …)
✨3-4 tbsp sweetner
✨100g white chocolate chips (+100g more for the melted topping)
✨150g chopped berries of choice (I use 50g raspberries and 100g cherries)
✨100g unsalted butter
✨75g melted peanut butter
✨Few tbsps of milk of choice (I use semi skimmed).
Method:
✨Mix the oats, ground oats, protein powder and sweetner in a large bowl.
✨Melt the unsalted butter and peanut butter together in a separate bowl and leave to cool. (I use a microwave for convinience).
✨Add the melted mixture to the oat mixture and mix until it begins to combine.
✨Add your berries and 100g white chocolate chips and mix together.
✨Gently add a splash of milk to ensure the mixture is combined. (Continue to add milk conservatively until the mixture is formed).
✨Once formed, squish the mixture into your lined baking tray.
✨Cook in a pre-heated over at 170c for approximately 15-17mins.
✨Ensure flapjacks are cooled before enjoying!
