Now I wouldn’t suggest you eat this every day. It’s more of a Sunday brunch kind of deal. But in true Fit Foodie style, this has nothing but natural healthy ingredients that will nourish your body – not to mention put a smile on your face.
A fantastic smoothie any time of the day, this delicious Raspberry Cheesecake Smoothie is packed with anti-oxidants and protein. Who needs dessert?!
Granola is the yummiest way to get in some serious fiber, protein and vitamins first thing in the morning. Try my almond version on top of Greek yoghurt or fruit for a delicious breakfast.
This is a fantastic way to start your weekend. I love this on a Sunday morning after an early cardio session – full of protein with a hint of sweet and spice, this bowl of sunshine is sure to please.
Yogurt parfait makes for a deliciously filling breakfast, but store-bought versions are often full of added sugar or unnatural sweeteners. Instead of spending money and wasting calories on bad ingredients, why not make your own? Double the ingredients and make a few portions for the week ahead. Go on…the money you save can go on that extra box of chocolate protein bars. Convinced?!
Sticky and sweet, these heavenly peaches are balanced with creamy plain yogurt and a sprinkling of heart-healthy nuts. While low-fat, fruit does contain plenty of natural sugar so be sure to watch your intake for the remainder of the day.
For a big kick of omega-3s in your lunch, try baking eggs in an avocado. Low in sugar, high protein and full of good fats, this healthy dish will get you through the afternoon.
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is member of the seed family. I mispronounced this for several years before being corrected and turning to Google for definitive advice. Regardless of what you call it, its wonderfully healthy and versatile. Not only is it a complete protein – making it fantastic for vegetarians – but this superfood is also rich in iron, magnesium and dietary fiber. Tasty and just a little bit sweet, this recipe will leave you with enough for a quick and delicious cold lunch during the working week.
I’m not going to lie, I miss pizza. But anyone on a low-carb diet knows those white-flour cheesy slices are a no-go. This dish uses Portobello mushrooms as a base and can be thrown together with whatever remaining veg you have in the fridge. An excellent way of incorporating more veggies into your diet, this dish also satisfies pizza cravings.
Sorry Dominos, you’ll just have to wait…
Swap your cafe-bought banana bread for this delicious sugar-free version, and get some extra fruit and heart-healthy nuts in your diet. Bonus!
