Clean Fridge, Clean Mind

During this time of year it is so easy to be tempted and relaxed with what you eat... How many times have you looked in the fridge multiple times expecting something else to have magically appeared in there?! The answer is all of us have done this at some point.

In my opinion to stop temptation is to stop it at the source- the fridge and cupboards! If you had got the fridge stacked high with greens, fish, meats and healthy fats after one big weekly shop then thats going to focus you completely and you are more likely going to reach for a healthier snack or prepare a clean meal.

I really do believe in the motto- Clean fridge, clean mind.

I have taken a few photographs of my fridge and it is prepped with my different meal ingredients, healthy snacks and my favourite green raw juice so there is no room or excuse for me to go off track!

Trying different types of superfood is so interesting. Experimenting with recipes and trying them out with new flavours is something I love to do. This is exactly what I have done today! I recently found a pack of quinoa flakes which I have not tried before. 

Knowing how quinoa in its normal form is and having used it a lot in the past I found it a bit of a pain to prepare and and cook, so when I found this I was excited- all of the nutrition with none of the effort!! 

Eating Out Saga

It is always a struggle dining out with friends and family if you have food restrictions that narrow down the choices you can have! Looking for something that is gluten and sugar free that is still delicious but doesn't involve a piece of grilled chicken with a side of vegetables is tricky!

This is why when I had a lovely lunch out with my Mum the other say and shocked by the outcome of my lunch- wait for it - I had something healthy, filling and high in nutrients!!
I had to post this because I find it so rare to have something, in the place that I live that isn't very health-aware, that most definitely inspired me to try different spots to eat out more because it gave me ideas for my own recipes!


You may think is this it but really it was the best thing I have tasted in a while and didn't want it to end.... Enter the best superfood salad I have tasted when eating out!
