You’re at work. It’s 3pm. You’d give an arm and a leg for some chocolate right now.
You get up and walk to the kitchen and make a cup of tea. And you just happen to wander past a box of those charity chocolates.
Only $1? What value! And for charity? I must! I’ll take 3, thanks!
I’ve had some pretty crazy eating habits in my time. I was never at the point of say an “eating disorder”, but there were definitely stages of disordered eating.
If I went out to dinner I’d eat way too much, and wind up with a food baby feeling painfully bloated. (The undiagnosed gluten sensitivity meant I had major cravings for food like pizza and pasta, even though they made me feel like crap.)
This mango + coconut chia pudding is the perfect dessert for summer barbeques, and it's so healthy you could even eat it for breaky!
When my boyfriend asked what I was making (he got excited when he saw the mangoes) and I replied with 'chia pudding', he was pretty quick to let me know he wasn't too keen on chia.
But then he tried some. And quickly changed his mind.
I have avoided writing this post for ages.
Not because I struggle with meal prep. Quite the opposite, really. But I don’t quite know how to put in to words how or what I actually do. Anyway, here goes!
Real food is super important for our health, and if we take a little time each week to get creative (and organised), we can eat nourishing and delicious food at each and every meal.
Wanna be super healthy? Well, you've come to the right place! Digestion is where it allll starts. If you can get your digestion in tip top shape, it may just have a massive flow on effect on every aspect of your wellbeing, from your skin to your mental health.
Digestive symptoms like bloating and distension, constipation, diarrhea and acid reflux are such a Debbie downer.
Ah, the power of perspective.
As I’m writing this, I’m heading home to Sydney from an awesome workshop weekend in Brisbane as a Group Leader for the NTA’s Nutritional Therapy Practitioner training program.
As I sit here in the emergency exit row (hey, it’s no business class but I’m digging the legroom), I’m thinking back to this very day last year.
Make your room a blissful sleep sanctuary. Ideally, your room should be dark, quiet and cool.
It's super important to get rid of all sources of light in your bedroom. Use blackout curtains where possible, although if you're getting to get early enough to make sure you're clocking up plenty of hours of sleep, waking up with the sun is an awesome and healthy way to start the day.
Travel is one of my absolute favourite things in the world, and it has helped me big time over the years to figure out my priorities in life – which instead of just ‘doing what I’m supposed to do’, now includes following my bliss and having so much fun in the process!
So I couldn’t resist the promise of another life changing trip with amazing food, yoga and unreal culture...
Are you scrolling Instagram late at night because you just can't seem to switch off? Or maybe you find yourself tossing and turning all night and wake up feeling unrested.
Getting enough quality sleep each night is super important. Whether you're healing from a chronic health condition or just feeling outright exhausted, getting those quality ZZZs should be one of your biggest priorities!
How on earth have I been making and sharing recipes for this long without letting you in on my banana bread recipe?! I really don't know.
It's getting pretty crisp here in Sydney. I'm most def not cut out for Sydney winter. Yep I know, it's almost 20 degrees outside. "It's not cold", they tell me.
