The Vegan Body coach

One of my go-to breaky's on a Sunday! Me and hubby love to have protein pancakes 🥞 every Sunday, that's if he's not playing golf and then I tend to just grab a shake and train...
We like to keep them in the oven while he's flippin' the rest if you get what I'm saying, that was it keep them all warm and we can both sit down and enjoy a lovely breakfast together in the morning.
I also use the coconut flavour from I find this works the best for flavour but the others work just as well.

These are of course plant-based and also nut-free.

Hit save and give them a go, you'll thank me later 😂

There are two things I love 💜 in life that is animals and sunshine...⁠
⁠
To truly connect with an animal one must learn to speak their language and not that of humankind. ⁠
⁠⁠⁠⁠

Cooking vegan is so colourful 🌈 I had to teach myself how to cook and how to achieve high protein delicious meals without using animals.⁠
⁠
These are my tofu bao buns, followed by a main of marinated tofu, rice noodles, s**take mushrooms, spinach and raw carrot.⁠
⁠
Not only is this healthy but it's super delicious. ⁠

For anyone who needs to be reading this right now.
One step at a time, one day at a time. Some days are good some days are bad. Let those feelings come and go like waves 🌊 crashing on the shoreline. Acknowledge them but don't allow yourself to get swept up by them.
Tomorrow is always another day!

Craving sunshine 🌞 badlyyyyy. Who else is window shopping for holidays every morning while having their coffee 😂 ☕️ ?
Throwback to last September in Corfu.

I thought I would do a post to talk about the current situation we all find ourselves in. For me personally, when I start to feel low or unmotivated I hibernate from everything and everyone, hence why I've not been on here for a while.⁠
⁠
Social media is all about being positive and happy and no one wants to read something negative or depressing and therefore I feel It's best not to post anything when I'm low. That's wrong!⁠
⁠
I was reading a friends post on Facebook about how she feels fed up and really struggling at the moment and did anyone else feel this way.⁠
We are all human and I'm the first to mentally beat myself up when I start moaning or have no motivation, and feelings of negativity. And last week I said to my mum; "I feel like I'm standing here with an imaginary bat, swinging it all day every day to bounce those emotions away"!⁠
⁠
So if your feeling the same today or next week, or last week all I will say is this is not forever, things will be different in potentially 8 weeks, spring is around the corner the nights will get lighter each day and we can start to get back to doing the things we love.⁠
⁠
Hang on in there, just take each day as it comes.⁠

Eating plant-based 🌱 doesn't have to be boring. Do you ever really stop and think about the food on your plate, what it is, where has it come from, how did it get there? And does it make you thrive?

Since going to a plant-based 🌱 diet, my nails have grown, my hair grows like something I've never seen before 😂 (I'm sure you've all seen my stories) but not only this I now love to cook 👩🏻‍🍳 and prepare my food, whereas before, I couldn't stand the smell of chicken or even cutting it up.

I found it hard transitioning over to a vegan diet to start with, it wasn't until I started exploring foods and becoming more adventurous and confident in the kitchen I started making dinner bowls like these. So I know what it's like to start out, therefore if you ever have any questions or need advice just drop me a DM and I will happily help you.

This plate has the following nutritional content:

607 Kcal
27g Protein
21g Fat
80g Carbs

Tastes amazing and completely nutritious.

Stop comparing yourself to others, there is only one you. We are all individuals and none of us are perfect.
Yes we all have things we don’t like about our selves, but it’s focusing on the things we do like and if we can improve the things we don’t like then great 👍🏼 I’m not just talking physically but also mentally.
I personally want to be the best version of me I can be and that for me is a strong body and a strong mind.
Last year has tested us all in every way possible but that’s life - it’s here to throw us curve balls continuously so don’t ever expect anything different. It’s how we adapt, change and grow.
Be determined, be fierce and be strong, coz let’s face it there are no other options 👊🏼 .

We Have To Be Stronger Than Our Excuses 👊🏼.

My top 3 tips for working out at home!

1 - Put your favourite music 🎵 on, to get you in the zone.
2 - Workout with friends 👯‍♀️ via facetime.
3 - Focus your mind 🧠 on your end goal and keep that to the front of your mind the entire time your training.

If any of these tips help motivate you, then drop me a tap on the heart ❤️.

So if you didn't know already I own a little brand called

I set this up about 18months ago, it's taken everything I have from money to time, to my tears and my strength.

Trust me when I say this until you've set up your own business you don't realise how hard it can be. That's no to say I don't recommend it at all, because I do. If you have an idea or a dream then grab it by the balls and run with it, don't let anyone or anything stop you from what you want to do.

I was 19 when I first went alone in business and I use to mentally beat myself up and not think I was good enough, I had crap grades at school dropped out of college with depression and was always bottom of the class.

It's not only now 20 years on I can look back and say bloody hell girl you did alright you shouldn't have been so hard on yourself.

Anyways enough rambling on, the message here is if you need any protein powder to go check out my brand and if your thinking of starting a business then go do it 👊🏼

Rome wasn't built in a day, so don't expect your body to be what you want it to be within a week. Have trust in the process, it takes time and consistency like anything in life to achieve the results you want.

I went vegan when I saw how my food got to my plate and didn't want any part of that ever again.⁠

The Vegan Body Coach

For those who have been following me for a while and for those who are new to following me, I wanted to let you know more about what kind of content il be posting and why.

I created The Vegan Body Coach, for a number of reasons, the main being to help people transition over to becoming vegan and to show people why one should consider becoming vegan 🌱 and where to start.

I wasn't always a vegan, and I never enjoyed preparing food and usually stuck to eating chicken or fish. It wasn't until I started to connect the dots when my first pet chicken 🐥 had to be put to sleep that I realised I was caring for one while chopping another one up in my kitchen. I knew it felt wrong and decided to stop eating chicken after this.
Vegans are not perfect no one is, we believe we should all do our upmost to not harm anyone or anything.

So the content I will be posting more of is how I train as a vegan and the food I eat, quick and easy to follow recipes which are high in protein. So expect more videos of me 😂 I'm still trying to get used to talking into a screen, at least once I get the hang of it I can give hubby's ears a rest!

So if you like what you see, double-tap that little heart ❤️ button so I know my content is worthwhile.

The obstacle is the way.
How many of us will hold our hands up and give up the moment an obstacle is put in our way?
And how many of us actually use the obstacle as a tool to our advantage.
Interesting question, when you think about it isn't it?
I try hard to focus on using the obstacle as an advantage and looking at a situation that I can turn around rather than throw my hands in the air and blame someone or something else.
Think the next time you have a situation or a curveball and take a step back and ask yourself how I can work this to a different angle.

Throwback to last month in the glorious Corfu island 🌴.

I'm going, to be honest, I'm not a winter person AT ALL. So I do struggle with going into the winter 🌨️ maybe this is something to do with being born in the summer 🌞 season.. who knows!

Anyway, what's your favourite season?

Trying to stay consistent can be hard some times, life just gets in the way and even the toughest of us know when we have been defeated. I've been a bit absent on my stories and on my posts because I'm always trying to juggle so much and sometimes something has to give am I right?

When you have so much you what to do and achieve in life, I find myself going from chill to 100 mph on some days. Anyone else feels like this?

Anyway, these are the vegan protein pancakes 🥞 I pretty much have every Sunday, so quick and easy and perfect for a weekend breaky. I've popped the recipe 📖 below, hit save and give them a go!

Sometimes you have to take a step back to see things clearly in life.
Its taken me 38 years to figure out what I truly want in life and what makes me feel alive.
I feel most of us spend a lifetime wondering what we are here for or what we should be doing and that's ok because let's face it we are all in this together and none of us knows what it's all about.
So do not fret, and do not worry it will all come clear to you.

For those of you who know me, know I'm a massive animal🐄🐖🐐 lover. I truly respect the animal kingdom and chose to be vegan because of this. I met this little girl whilst away in Corfu and she was the highlight of my trip, she chose to come and fall asleep on my back like this and I was honoured that she had trust in me to do so.⁠
⁠
I've always wanted to have my own animal sanctuary and to help educate people on a vegan lifestyle and show we are all equal on this planet.⁠
⁠
This is my mission in life; to open a sanctuary for the animals who need my love because I have buckets of it just waiting to give them.⁠
⁠
What's your dream?⁠

Currently in progress...

And a little reminder for anyone else, who needs to be reading this right now for motivation.

Rest & recharge.
As humans, we work work work and tend to forget how important it is to rest and recharge not just the physical body but the mind too.
Now I'm completely and utterly guilty of this, and it's not until I'm at exploding point 🌋 when I say s**t I need a break I'm going to explode.
But why do we leave it until this point to take a break?
Drive, well, it is for me as I am a very driven person. I have a long term goal, and I know there are steps I need to do to get me there. I will share this with you one day what that is.
Anyway for now, if you're like me, make sure you take that break, don't burn out. Allow your body to rest along with your mind too. You'll come back stronger and with a much clearer mind 🧠.

P.S I thought the picture was so appropriate as turquoise is my favourite colour if you didn't know that already.

I spent my entire holiday laughing 🤣 throughout the week. I had a complete giggle, it made me realise we take life far too serious and worry about trivial matters, that in the scheme of things will be forgotten about in a few hours. I'm making a pledge to myself to ensure I laugh every day even if it's just to myself 😂.⁠⁠⁠⁠
