Normally I have meat or fish and veggies for breakfast these days but with the change of season I found myself craving warming oaty porridge. I used to love porridge and could easily have had it morning, noon and night (I kid you not!!) with lashings of milk and spoons of sugar (I was a […]
Make Halloween a Little Healthier

Halloween has changed a lot since I was a kid. Back in the day everybody made their own costumes (normally from a black plastic sack), there were no decorations, you asked neighbours to ‘help the Halloween party’ rather than saying ‘trick or treat’ and you usually came back from doing the rounds with a bag […]

I’ve always loved yogurt so when I had to go dairy free a few years ago I really missed it (and ice-cream!). So when I discovered dairy free (and vegan) coconut yogurt I fell in love hard and fast. I love it with fresh berries or adding it as a topping to green smoothie bowls […]

Infused Water Inspirations
Posted on May 8, 2015 Leave a Comment
One of my very first blog posts was about the benefits of drinking more water and it’s always one of the first things I get clients to do when I start working with them. However, it’s something I personally struggle with. I’m a cold creature and find plain old cold water really hard to drink […]
