Let’s buuuurn those lower abs (aka that lower belly pooch) in just 6 mins 🔥
_
Abs are my favourite body part to workout. I often finish my workouts with a little core burn like this 👇🏻
_
1️⃣ Leg raises
2️⃣ Dish hold & single leg raise
3️⃣ Tap outs
4️⃣ Single single double toe taps
5️⃣ Forearm plank & slow climbers
6️⃣ V sit hundreds (if you can extend your legs for the count of 3)
_
30 seconds on each exercise. 2 rounds. No breaks, we’re going for maximum time under tension to really burn those lower abs, until they’re hotter than the chillis on my socks🌶

Have an abs-olutely brilliant day x

How to make the ultimate balanced smoothie bowl 🥣✨
_
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I love a smoothie bowl. Over the years I’ve learnt a few things about blending up the perfect nutritionally balanced smoothie 🙌🏻
_
🍌DON’T GO BANANAS ON BANANAS. Whilst bananas are a delicious whole food that make smoothies creamy, they are high in sugar. Instead of blending extra bananas opt for peeled & cubed frozen courgette, steamed & frozen cauliflower, or ice. If you need extra sweetness add a little vanilla, stevia, or good quality flavoured protein.
_
🥜ADD A PROTEIN PUNCH. I’m a fan of having a source of protein at EVERY meal. It keeps you fuller for longer, lessens cravings & helps slow insulin secretion which slows the release of sugars into the bloodstream. Try adding nuts, seeds, nut / seed butter, pea / hemp / rice protein. I use protein powder; these are my favs: @revfoods @vivolife @formnutrition
_
🥑FAT IS YOUR FRIEND. For all my girls with hormonal imbalances, you’re going to want to make friends with healthy fats. They play a vital role in hormone production & maintenance. They also slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream (great if you have insulin resistance), protect your heart, nourish your skin, provide sustainable energy, & actually help with weight loss. Choose from nuts, seeds, coconut yogurt, or avocado.
_
🥬UP THE FIBRE. Fruit is a good source of fibre but it’s a good idea to add some leafy greens or chia seeds for extra fibre to promote bowel health
_
🥄GIVE IT A BOOST. Add a tsp or two of your fav superfoods or nutritional boosters. My go tos are: spirulina, açai, maca, cacao, camu camu, ashwagandha, flax, chia, ginger root, turmeric & always a pinch cinnamon
_
When it comes to TOPPINGS:
👯‍♀️MATCHY MATCHY: I like to add some fresh fruit on top & usually match it to what’s in the bowl. Eg blueberries in the bowl, blueberries on the bowl
👩🏻‍✈️CAPTAIN CRUNCH: Adding a little texture will give you something to chew on & make you feel more satisfied. I love coconut chips, cacao nibs, pumpkin/ sunflower seeds, or granola

P.s you’re un-bowl-ievable ✨

Do you need to buy organic?🤔[full post #ontheblog]
_
Organic foods can be better for the environment (due to less intensive farming methods) & better for your health (due to less pesticide residue) but they are often eye watering expensive. 😲🥑💵💵💵 Good news! You don’t need to buy all organic, some foods are higher in pesticide residue than others (usually fruit & veg with a higher water content like strawberries).
_
The Environmental Working Group’s 2020 list of foods highest in pesticide residue a.k.a THE DIRTY DOZEN:
🍓Strawberries
🌱Spinach
🥬Kale
🍑Nectarines
🍏Apples
🍇Grapes
🍑Peaches
🍒Cherries
🍐Pears
🍅Tomatoes
💚Celery
🥔Potatoes

For the clean 15 list (foods lowest in pesticide residue) check out my latest blog post (link in bio).

Have a fab weekend 💃🏻

P.s don’t fret it you can’t afford anything organic. All fruit & veg is good for you...even the almost out of date bargain bin!

Fat burn & ab burner 🥵🔥 _ Cardio + abs is on

Fat burn & ab burner 🥵🔥
_
Cardio + abs is one of my favourite workouts!! For this circuit you don’t need any equipment, just a timer ⏱. 45 secs on, 15 secs rest. [if you’re a beginner go for 30 secs on, 30 secs rest or 40 on 20 rest].
_
1️⃣ 10 high knees > 10 climbers
2️⃣ 4 scissors > 4 heel taps
3️⃣ 4 ski runs > 4 jabs
4️⃣ Dish tucks
5️⃣ Squat > twist jump
_
I’d go for 4 or 5 rounds but do whatever you can, this is YOUR workout.

Happy sweating x 💦

You’re soup-er 🍜✨ _ I used to hate soup un

You’re soup-er 🍜✨
_
I used to hate soup until I was forced to eat it after double jaw surgery when I was 17. Now I have soup at least once a week. Here’s how to STEP UP YOUR SOUP GAME so you never have to eat bland mush again:
_
🌱 HERB & SPICES: my go tos are cumin, turmeric, paprika, thyme, parsley, coriander, & bay leaves. They’re anti inflammatory, packed full of antioxidants, nutrients & flavour.
💣 FLAVOUR BOMBS: nutritional yeast (I don’t think there’s a meal that can’t be enhanced by it), coconut aminos (the gluten & soy free version of soy sauce), miso, a squeeze of lemon, a dash of apple cider vinegar, a drizzle of garlic oil...all add a mighty punch of flavour.
🍜 JUST ADD BROTH: I like to add bone broth to my soups for #guthealth I’ve also been adding @gardenoflife collagen powder, but homemade veg stock works great too.
👌🏻 TOP IT OFF: adding a little something on top of your soup gives it texture & something for you to chew on so you feel more satiated. My favs are toasted seeds, sautéed greens, or shredded chicken.
🍞 ADD AN ACCOMPANIMENT: extra hungry? Add a slice of bread, some crackers, or a tortilla (pictured are the turmeric wraps from my eBook).

Have a soup-erb day x
