Blueberry pancakes

Blueberry so good protein pancakes!!!

Add 3 scoops of so good protein pancake mix, 75ml unsweetened almond milk/water if you don't have any....then throw in a handful of blueberries and leave for a couple of minutes.

Put a couple of spoons of mixture in a hot pan and fry like normal pancakes,don't have the pan too hot because they're thick they need to cook through and you don't want burnt pancakes!! Flip after about a minute....repeat until the mixtures gone! 

Leave to cool...

When they're slightly cool layer with 0% total yoghurt (any 0% yoghurt will do but check the sugar content isn't too high) and blueberries then pour 'waldens farm' 0 calorie syrup on top.....protein full and fat free :) 

Strawberry & raspberry protein sundae!!

No dinner needed I'm going straight for dessert!!! So easy!! Used PhD diet whey in vanilla as its thicker than protein world and you get a yoghurt texture! 

2 25g scoops vanilla protein 

6 raspberries 

4 strawberries 

200ml unsweetened almond milk

Blend....

Layer with gluten free oats (low sugar ones, trymorrisons) 

And top with almonds and a little bit of left over strawberry....enjoy!  

Strawberry and banana milkshake!

Feeling guilty about my weeks horrendous eating pattern also can barely walk from my first gym session back (it was only half an hour) so I thought I'd try and regain some healthy eating and repair my poorly muscles with this banana and strawberry shake....quick, easy and delicious!!! 

1banana chopped...in the blender

3strawberries chopped...in the blender 

4 scoops vanilla protein...in the blender 

250ml unsweetened almond milk...in the blender.....lid on...turn on...pour in a cup ☺️ 

Shambles diet!!!

After feeling so proud of my Egyptian diet and thinking I'd managed to keep in ok shape with limited work outs I followed it up with a work trip to Portugal....Anyone who believes models stick to a lettuce diet is VERY much mistaken! I have never known anyone to have the passion and excitement for food as the girls I work with! 

Pizza is a favourite often being offered on lunches at various shoots, along with cake, crisps and chocolate! It is THE hardest to stay healthy at work!! Baguette and aioli is a favourite on trips along with Oreo milka (a taste sensation) and 3.D's (crisps) and don't think for one second I could sit back and watch everyone else eat these delicious delicacy's!!! 

I practically ate everything bad you could ever imagine for 3 days straight....goodbye all my hard work over the past weeks!! Hello diet starts monday! Who's starting again too??? #shakelife

Also if you're ever in carluccio's I highly recommend the eaton mess style meringue pudding!!! 

The Egyptian holiday diet

This week I haven't posted as I've been away in Egypt....which is lovely!!! Boiling!!! And Beautiful!!! However....I was dreading the all inclusive sweet treats that I wouldn't be able to say no to (will power 0) as when you're on holiday you 'deserve' it....something I genuinely believe!!! 

I was also not looking forward to all my hard work disappearing in such a short space of time. Little did I know the amazing looking cakes and pastries were nothing more than amazing looking....the taste was disappointing to say the least....instead of moan I was SO happy!! It meant I couldn't stuff my face with pudding at every meal! Perfect! The tastiest thing they served was salad! So me and my leaves have had a very good week!!! I have had to steer clear of the fresh pancakes as much as possible but had 2 days with them for breakfast as I didn't want to be too strict! 

Water has been so needed and I think drinking 6 litres a day has made a huge difference to water retention so I'll try and keep up when I get home!

Don't get me wrong there's been ice creams and a couple of pizza's but on the whole the slightly questionable Egyptian buffet has kept me on track! I did bring my protein shakes for breakfast and the heat has definitely made me less hungry but I think it's been quite a successful week!!! And I feel much better than my usual post holiday body! Only the scales will tell but the moral of the story is.....holiday in Egypt where the puddings are a non-event! :) 

Banana protein shake

Good morning!!!! Time for another successful healthy week (I hope!!...also off on holiday so not sure who I'm trying to kid lol!!!). However starting Monday right with this lovely banana shake....tastes like a milkshake! 

 

This is so quick and easy...suits me perfect before work! All you need to do is blend your vanilla protein (I used protein world slender blend) with 1 chopped banana....pour into a cup and add some gluten free oats!! Sorry it's not overly exciting, but so tasty...and sweet!! 

Week 3

Week 3 has been so good!!! 

I had my weigh in Friday and have lost 4lbs of fat which is 2% of my fat percentage so actually quite a lot for me!!! And gained 4lbs of muscle!! So happy! ....like I've always said my intention on this diet is mainly to tone so these are perfect results!! I was so surprised after last weeks disaster hotel food! And snacking over the weekends! 

To celebrate I had banoffee pie last night....I'll never be 100% healthy....it was so worth it!!! 

I am even more pleased that I'm seeing results and not spending every day longing for sweet food or feeling like I'm massively missing out! Because the diets been quite laid back/realistic for me I don't feel like I'm forbidden to eat certain things. This helps so much at the weekend or in the evening I don't then go wild and eat 20 of what I've fancied all day/week! Definitely think it works much better for me...so maybe give it a go if you think dieting is also the worst thing ever!!! 

Another first I did this week was take a lunchbox to work....genius! No idea why I've never done it! Just took some chicken, potato salad and salad from the night before's dinner....was really nice wayyy better than a boots meal deal anyway and better!!! Will be doing this more often to avoid bad things when out!
