Hi Everyone! Hope you are all having a good week. I'm now home from Brighton and can finish the post I started yesterday on my eats!
As we had been staying with my Aunt and Uncle we have had a few meals with them and my parents such as pasta and salad, tomato and olive bread, M&S cheesecake and strawberries etc. Breakfast has been ok, the only breakfast options at my Aunts were a 'diet' style cereal or white toast so I scoured the cupboards and made up my own muesli with porridge oats, mixed dried fruit, chopped nuts, chopped apple, a little apple and mango juice and milk.



Yesterday we decided to head to a local cafe called Cafe One Ten for breakfast. I started with a chai tea and a slice of the most delicious sticky oat, date, seed and spice slice.


I also had a smoothie made with berries and banana.


While we've been here we have hit the coffee shops hard, I rarely get to coffee shops usually so I've really enjoyed this! We tried a little independent coffee shop in Brighton called the Tic - Toc Cafe. I loved the decor! I had a Chai Latte and a little summer fruit pudding.


We've also had a few iced coffee's and frappes, I love these! Especially with extra cream and a muffin on the side ;-)

On Monday I decided to try something from Infinity Foods in Brighton which is a brilliant health food and organic produce store (big thanks to those that recommended I visit!) I bought a couple of boxes of food to takeaway and eat in the Pavillion Park since the weather was so beautiful.


All of this was amazing, so flavourful and healthy. I wish I had a place like Infinity near to were I live!

In London on Tuesday we visited Leon. I have the cook book at home and was really excited to give the place a try. It was expensive but didn't disapoint. I had the Leon Gobi -


Orange and Carrot Juice -

Chocolate Brownie -


All of which were amazing! I will definitely be trying out the Gobi recipe from the Leon cookbook.

On Tuesday evening seeing as I have been dragging the hubby out to eat healthy, and to him, quite unusual foods I agreed to go for an Italian (he didn't exactly have to twist my arm!). We went to Fat Leos in Brighton. I started with the Aubergine, Tomato and Mozzerella Bake -


My main was the Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni -


Delicious!

In London I also paid the Hummingbird Bakery a visit. I got these two cupcakes - a red velvet and a rose flavour.


Both were amazing but the Rose was really special and tasted like Turkish Delight!

One of my favourite places in Brighton was Lick. I went three times for my frozen yoghurt! I did see a few frozen yoghurt places in London but as I was having cupcakes I didn't want to be a total glutton!


I'm really going to miss this! (Sorry that last pic looks really rude to me, or is it just my dirty mind?)

So thats my eating highlights from my holiday! Yesterday I didn't eat that well, we went out for a carvery for lunch which included a large desert and I did go and get a bar of chocolate after we left the bar so today I've been trying to eat better. I won't add anymore more pics but breakfast was full fat greek yoghurt with honey, blueberries and oats, I snacked on an apple, a slice of apple and sultana loaf and an orange and carrot juice on the way home. Before I did my Davina workout (I did kick fit as I felt like I really needed some good cardio) I snacked on a Natures Valley Oat and Honey Granola Bar. Post workout I made a Green Monster with a scoop of Nutty Berry Spirutein, I was really craving a GM! I've just been out to Marks and Spencer and had a snack pot of cashews with raisins and a Super Wholefood salad shaker pot (quinoa, puy lentils, butternut squash, wild rice, lemon and basil dressing) - this was wonderful, so glad M&S are doing stuff like this! I've also just had a big plate of strawberries, chopped apple and raspberries.

Well I won't prattle on any longer, hope you've enjoyed the post! I'll be back tomorrow with a post on my purchases of which there is a lot ;-) Catch you later! x
