Sometimes we wake up feeling a little sluggish, maybe bloated from that pizza last night or for no apparent reason. Before having coffee and breakfast it's a good idea to try to have some sort of elixir to set your body up well for the day. If you're sensitive to some foods and wake up [...]
Working different muscles in your body for different results seems like a fairly obvious concept. Exercises such as squats, deadlifts, crunches, lat pulldowns all work the different 'sections of your body'. For example, a Romanian deadlift works the hamstrings (in addition to the back, abdominals and more). Crunches work your rectus abdominus (the 'abs'). In [...]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day- I'm sure you've heard that one before. When done right with a little more time on a weekend morning we can definitely say it is, and it's most certainly done right with Chai Latte Oats. Oats themselves can be bland and unexciting, but with some special [...]

Chocolate for breakfast? YES! Sometimes I wake up craving savory eggs with avocado and kale, other times I wake up craving a green smoothie (seriously) and other times I just want anything and everything sweet and chocolatey. This smoothie is definitely the latter. The recipe included Cacao, one of my favorite superfoods for its antioxidant [...]
Don't be fooled by the idea that adequate protein intake is only for those who strength train loads or so-called 'meat heads' at the gym. Our bodies NEED protein for tissue synthesis and repair, production of enzymes - which help us digest food and proteins help carry oxygen. I was chatting with my sister the [...]
All of us love a sweet, delicious treat once in a while, or ALL the time!! I know that when you’re trying to be as ‘healthy’ as possible, it can be difficult to cut out regular sugary treats - especially when you have a big sweet tooth, so I have created these insanely delicious, moreish [...]
