Cute cafe lunch

I have been rubbish at all preperation this week and am not eating very clean- I am having a word with myself this weekend and getting motivated again.

On my lunch break the other day I went to a lovely cute cafe and had organic fresh carrot & poppy seed bread to share, an elderflower soda jar and pomegranate and halloumi salad.

I really am becoming addicted to haloumi! It's so good!

Cod and salmon dinner

I absolutely love fish! I could never go without it. Especially if on holiday by the sea- mmmmm fresh fish!! :)

The boyfriend was round at mine last night and we are both being clean and healthy so we had fish (him salmon and me cod) with lots of veg and salad.

I chopped up some fresh chilli and garlic and sprinkled it onto the fillets with a dusting of chilli powder. Wrapped up the fillets into parcels with baking paper. Then popped hen into the oven on 180 for 25 minutes.

I served mine with mixed leaves, peppers, olives, jalapeños and broccoli, sugar snap peas, celery, green beans and fresh peas.

Alex had mixed leaves and green veg with his.

Yummy yummy in our tummy!!

Hoping you're all having a good week! :)

My goodies :)

I really had to restrain myself when I found the organic health shop near where I was working yesterday. I walked passed and read the sign, and before I know it I had a basket in hand half filled with organic healthy goodies.

I stocked up on my favourite pulsin raw protein bars & found so many other makes doing similar things. There was also a lot of similar products to the nakd bars that I am a massive fan of.

I ended up with one if every brand of bar in my basket- then had a quiet word with myself and selected a few instead.

Please don't ever, ever replace a meal with a processed thing in a packet - always make yourself something fresh and nutritious. But do keep products like this handy- they are perfect for a pre gym snack, or to fulfil a craving without breaking the clean approach.

I'm going to try this one later today before the gym tonight- I've been looking for this brand for a whole after seeing a lot t Instagram fitspo people posting about then from other countries. 

These organic raw bars sounds perfect too?

Now- just to remind myself that these are going to last a looooong time! And I am not to have one a day! Willpower switched on!

If anyone has any other brands to recommend let me know :)

New organic cooking goodies!

I worked an extra shift yesterday (Sunday) in Islington, district nursing. I love I earn extra pennies- although I think I spent half of what I will be paid for the shift in an amazing organic health shop I found!

I am so excited to try all of my goodies! 

I bought this amazing baking mix- perfect for muffins, pancakes, bread and cakes! So be prepared for lots of new recipes! 

The mix is made of Quinoa, Teff, Brown Rice, Flax and Chia. Even better- it is gluten free! :)

Now, I knew all of those ingredients- except Teff! What on earth is Teff?

Please imagine how happy I was to find out that it is an amazingly nutritious grain- then multiply that by 100! (I was very happy!!)

So- What is Teff?

☮ Teff leads all the grains – by a wide margin – in its calcium content, with a cup of cooked teff offering 123mg, about the same amount of calcium as in a half-cup of cooked spinach. It’s also an excellent source of vitamin C—a nutrient not commonly found in grains—and also a good source of iron. Teff is high in resistant starch, a newly-discovered type of dietary fiber that can benefit blood sugar management, weight control, and colon health. It’s estimated that 20-40% of the carbohydrates in teff are resistant starches. A gluten-free grain with a mild flavor, teff is a healthy and versatile ingredient for many gluten-free products. ☮

So there we go!

Recipes to follow!

Have a good and healthy week :)
