SMALLER meals MORE often!

Most people think if they eat less food less often they will lose more weight.. FALSE!

You guys need to keep your metabolism running and to keep burning your fat.. and you need to do this by eating at least 5 times a day. You may think this is a lot and that you can't eat this much or this often, but you only need to eat smaller meals in these times! If you skip meals your body might not know when it is going to get fed again and store your meals as more fat till it gets another meal.

 I make breakfast my biggest meal.. or lunch. Dinner should be your smallest meal out of the 3 and you should be snacking in between. I snack on things like carrots, nuts and vegetables in the afternoon. In the morning I snack on fruit as it has more natural sugars, so I try to avoid these in the afternoon!

So guys, eating smaller proportions and more regularly!

Maple and Clove

If you get to Canberra or are a local you must try Maple and Clove! They have a great range of healthy options and they are delicious! A friend and I went today after our gym session, I had the Thai beef salad and green smoothie! Or better yet make your own at home! They are the best...

Guilt Free Pancakes!

Is there a better way to start your weekend then with some yummy chocolate pancakes? Well you still can and not feel guilty!



Ingredients:
  • Coconut Oil
  • 1 Banana
  • 1 1/2 Cups of oats (add more depending on how many you are making - this usually makes about 4 pancakes)
  • 3 Egg whites
  • 1 Tablespoon of chia seeds
  • 1/2 Cup of water (Add more if your mixture needs it)
  • 1 Spoonful of chocolate or vanilla protein. (I understand that you might not use this.. the pancakes will still work out without it as I used to make them without, but it definitely makes a difference.. especially the yummy chocolate flavour!)
You can add more of anything you need as you go.. 
I have adapted the reciepe a few times so go for your life.

Method:

Mash the banana in a bowl until it is a gooey consistency, put all the ingredients in a bowl then mix together without a blender, add coconut oil (or oil of your choice) to the pan and pour the mixture in. 
Top with whatever you like! I use greek yogurt (coles greek style yogurt today) and fruit on top, then drizzled some organic light agave nectar over the top as an alternative to golden/maple syrup!

Mug Cake



        Mug Cake is an ideal treat for those cold winter nights coming up...

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of oats
  • 1 egg
  • 1 mashed banana
  • 1 tablespoon of milk (I use almond milk)
  • Any other extra's you would like.. I put raspberries inside and topped with healthy peanut butter (PB2) 
Method:

Put all the ingredients in a mug, (you could use a bowl but it won't hold the same shape!)
mix together and into the microwave for 1 minute.. pop onto a plate or eat in your mug and top with anything you like!
