Zest 24 Web Size-72

Hey everyone!

Sorry for not posting lately. I’ve been really busy the last few months working with a team setting up a really exciting new weight-loss & fitness bootcamp retreat!

It’s called Zest24 and we’re going to be running weight-loss retreats in the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

The best thing about Zest24 retreats is that you stay for 7 days in luxury, 5 star accommodation, with all your meals cooked for you (by the amazing health food chef, Jay Halford) and endure tough but manageable workouts to guarantee you lose weight AND learn the skills to see continued results, even after you’ve finished the retreat.

You’ll be trained by me, another expert coach, Chris Pound, both known for getting our clients amazing results, as well as other guest trainers. We’ll be taking you through an exciting variety of workouts including: boxing, spin, circuit training, resistance training, yoga, hiking and so much more. Rest assured though, no matter what your fitness level, we cater to everyone’s needs. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a pro, we’ll make sure the workout is tough, but suits your needs.

So, you’re probably wondering what you’ll be eating. We’ve worked with nutritionists to lay the foundations for our chef to be fully creative, cooking delicious, satisfying food that’s calorie and macro counted. This ensures you see maximum weight-loss (guests can expect to lose 3-10lbs during the retreat) without feeling deprived.

I’ve sampled all the food and I can honestly say, it’s delicious!

There are also going to be guest motivational speakers, goal setting workshops, hands on cookery demonstrations, massage and physio. On top of all this, you’ll also get on-going diet & exercise coaching from our support team to ensure you continue to make progress at home. How amazing is that?

Protein Pancakes

0

Hello beauts! It’s been far too long since I posted on here 😱 apologies for that!

I’ve been getting lots of requests about the protein pancakes I’ve been posting about on my Instagram so I thought I’d whip up a post on here to share the recipe with you all!


Ingredients:

1 scoop of protein powder

1 banana

20g oats

10g plain flour

60-70ml of milk

1 egg/egg replacer/ 1 chia egg

Dash of cinnamon

Topping:

Fruit

Yoghurt

Agave nectar

Method:

Blend all the ingredients (except the toppings) in a blender until smooth.

Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat then pour a little of the mixture into the pan. Let it cook until small bubbles start to form on the top of the pancake then carefully flip and cook on the other side for a further minute or two or until slightly browned.

I whack mine in the microwave for 30 secs once they’ve all cooked as the first couple are a little cold by the time I’ve cooked them all.

Add your toppings and devour!

Enjoy!

Hi lovelies!

I’ve been meaning to try out homemade almond milk ever since my bf’s lovely Mum bought me a nut milk bag (thanks Toni!).

I finally made the time to test it out and was pretty happy with the results.

Healthy Recipes to Make for Valentines Day

IMG_2903

Valentine’s Day was never something I use to bother with but last year I got truly pampered by my boyfriend and decided that actually, Valentine’s is pretty awesome when a spa and fancy restaurant is involved.

It also means that spring is on its way which means one step closer to summer!

Another reason I love Valentine’s? Chocolate. My favourite thing. Now that I’m all healthy and what not I thought I’d try my best to make healthy versions of some Valentine’s treats you might like to share with your loved one. Some of them are kinda healthy but I’d still recommend eating them only in moderation.

Obviously these recipes were sooo dull to create and I definitely didn’t lick the bowl at all. Not once. Girl guides honour. Ahem. Anyhoo lets get to it!

Healthy Oatmeal Pancakes with a Berry Compote

IMG_0649.JPG

Lazy Sunday mornings are perfect for pancake making. It’s become a little ritual between my boyfriend and me to have pancakes almost every Sunday. In fairness, we’d both happily eat them every morning if we had the time.

Although weekends are perfect for letting go a little and eating something less healthy, treating the entire weekend like that will have a negative impact on your health and (if you have them), weight loss goals.

So, I have pinched this recipe from My Fitness Pal and created my own healthy topping.

These pancakes are pretty good- they aren’t like standard pancakes, slightly heavier but still good and a lot more filling in my opinion.

They are almost sugar free; I managed to make 9 pancakes altogether-with 1tbsp of sugar in total, per pancake thats pretty much only a tiny smidge of sugar. You could also replace the butter with vegan butter and make it dairy free.

Ingredients:

  • 1.1 ounces all-purpose flour (1/4 cup)
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup non dairy milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
  • 1 large egg (use Orgran egg replacer
  • Oil/butter for pan

For the Compote

  • 1/2 cup natural yoghurt almond/coconut/soy
  • 1/2 frozen berries
  • 1/2 small banana

Method:

Preheat oven to 150 degrees c

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Combine milk, butter, and egg in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat (can use frying pan). Coat pan with oil/butter. Spoon about
2 1/2 tablespoons batter per pancake onto griddle. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles; cook until bottoms are lightly browned.

Setting Goals for 2016

Fierce is the new fit!:

Happy New Year lovely readers!

Welcome to 2016!

I have a great feeling about 2016 and know it’s going to be a good one. I have lots of goals and things I know I’m going to achieve, but not without a solid plan.

I’m going to be having a look back at one of my goals from last year and talking you through how to make this year, your best yet!

The start of a new year is a great opportunity to consider what you want to achieve that year and how you’re going to do it.

Last year I decided I wanted to cut back on my intake of meat and dairy and wouldn’t you know it…6 months into 2015 and I went vegan (and haven’t looked back since). I never imagined I’d go completely vegan and at the start of 2015 would have laughed if you’d told me I’d be vegan in a year.

I also intended on spending more time practicing yoga but unfortunately that one got put on the back burner (I currently have the back pain to remind my why I shouldn’t have let that happen!).

Anyway it’s easy to say we are going to do something but, as we all know, most people’s NY’s resolutions don’t last more than a couple of days! Make this year, your year and stick to your goals by following my top tips:

Boxing Day Cardio & Core Blast Workout

Morning lovelies! So sorry I’ve been a little absent on here recently (if you follow me on snapchat and Insta you’ll know I’ve been super busy starting my personal training business so haven’t had a lot of time for my blog) but that’s all changing in 2016! So get ready for more YouTube vids and articles on here!

So- I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Day- I enjoyed my first vegan Christmas and, despite forgetting to defrost my nut roast and only realising AFTER all the other food was ready to eat (thus resulting in no nut roast for me) I still had a delish, lovely day and didn’t miss meat at all!

I got up early today and just needed to sweat it all out so here’s a great little post Christmas Day workout for you to try:

Vegan Korma Recipe

Juice 2-17

The korma is probably my favourite curry. No scratch that, it IS my favourite curry. I don’t even know why I entertained the idea that there might be another contender. There isn’t. It’s korma all the way. I love the creamy coco nutty-ness of it and I’m not a huge fan of super spicy foods so the korma is perfect for mild curry lovers.

This recipe is pretty easy and reheats well. There’s a load of ingredients I haven’t included but feel free to go wild and add white or sweet potatoes, any other type of bean and veg like broccoli, cauliflower, kale etc.
