Thank goodness the weekend is here! I have to say this week has been intense for me, just work stuff and nothing serious, but enough to make me feel thoroughly ready for a break!

Relaxing with a cup of one of my new Yogi teas from iHerb has been my saviour this week!

I have been getting on with things as usual though, I find my workouts really help me de stress when other things are going on:

• Saturday – REST
• Sunday – 7 mile run
• Monday – AM 5 min cross trainer warm up, strength workout A from Fine Tune phase of Female Body Breakthrough –light weight / high rep, 10 min HIIT step machine, 10 min HIIT bike
• Tuesday – PM Gym: 25 minutes cardio on machines, Body Pump
• Wednesday – 3.5 mile run 
• Thursday – PM yoga class 1hr 15 
• Friday – AM 5 min cross trainer warm up, strength workout B from Fine Tune in phase of Female Body Breakthrough– medium weight / medium rep, 10 min HIIT step machine, 10 min HIIT bike

As I’m taking a break from doing the healthy eating workshops I thought I’d enjoy a Body Pump class on Tuesday evening having missed it for a month. It was so good to do it again, I really do enjoy that class!

Eats' have been the pretty much the usual, not especially creative but tasty and satisfying none the less. There have been smoothies for breakfasts and evening snacks…

Frozen blueberries, chocolate sun warrior protein powder, ice, water, stevia and a touch of xanthan gum topped with flaked almonds

Strawberry peanut butter green smoothie topped with Kashi Go Lean Crunch and peanut flour sauce

Spinach, avocado, vanilla sun warrior protein powder, ice, water, ground flax, maca powder topped with roast edamame, dried berries and maple syrup

Lovely peanut butter pretzel smoothie with peanut butter swirl spiru-tein protein powder, water, ice, stevia and xanthan gum topped with peanut flour sauce and crumbled pretzels

I’ve also had the usual salads…

Spinach, romaine, cucumber, basil tofu, balsamic hemp oil dressing

Spinach, romaine, cucumber, courgette, red onion, raw beetroot, chickpeas, balsamic dressing

…quick but delicious dinners…

Herbed socca fold over filled with piri piri hummus, spinach, avocado and roast beetroot plus steamed asparagus on the side

Spiralised courgettes topped with a random mix of sautéed kale, home made seitan and a very old portion of roasted tomato sauce from the freezer, was lovely!

Post yoga quick dinner of steamed broccoli with soy sauce, baked sweet potato and 2 tbsp coconut butter

Plus some great snacks and treats…

Sanchi quinoa and tamari crackers with mashed avocado, sea salt and tahini

Frozen grapes and the last of my Green and Blacks Dark Chocolate Easter Egg

Fresh cherries (only 99p!) and pumpkin seeds

I saw the avocado and tahini combo in some ones WIAW and it is fabulous!

Special mention has to go to my Oats in a Jar and hot cross bun as well:

I made some oats with water on the stove top and added a pinch of sea salt and vanilla stevia – it was crazy good, that sweet and salty thing is fantastic. Topped off with black cherry jam and eaten alongside a blueberry vanilla smoothie it was wonderful. I also had the last of my Apple and Cinnamon Hot Cross Buns from the freezer toasted with vegan spread and an apple and peanut butter for dipping plus coffee of course. I loved being able to relax and enjoy those for breakfast!

On the weekend send off Love List this week…

This is the coffee I’ve been raving about and drinking all week, its got such a great strong deep taste, yum! I’ve also been loving my stripy dress from H&M, just wish it was warm enough to wear with bear legs and sandals, here’s hoping! Also…

Mathew Kenney’s Tumblr – un missable raw food porn! // booking in for my first hot yoga class in Newcastle next week // boxes of blueberries for 75p // designing my birthday party invitations // My Grandmas 83rd birthday (she’s so awesome!) // recording my first vlog! Coming soon

In case you missed it…

• I’m having a great giveaway to win a copy of the e book Superfoods for Women Only, check it out!
• I guest posted on the AXA PPP healthcare blog, take a look at my top tips for running a 5K
• I posted my review of Groupon and my wonderful spa experience

I seem to be really enjoying my sea salt at the moment, I don’t worry about my salt intake particularly because my blood pressure has always generally been on the low side and I don’t eat a lot of processed foods where salt tends to be higher. I just love how it enhances the flavour of foods and of course the sweet and salty combo will forever be a favourite of mine – the vanilla and sea salt oats where delicious! Are you a fan of salty foods? What kind of salt do you use? I have some Pink Himalayan Crystal salt that I need to try out soon.

How has your week been? Any big plans for the weekend? What are you loving right now?

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend! I thought I’d drop in with a quick post before I leave for Brighton tomorrow. Today has been spent pottering around the house attempting to get myself organised!

I started the day with great 10 mile run. I enjoyed a few of the most gorgeous medjool dates to fuel up (dates = my rocket fuel). I did 10 miles in 1.27 with an average pace of 8.42, considering the crazy DOMS in my butt from yesterdays strength workout I was pretty happy!

Just as I was coming home I met the postman who had a parcel for me:

The folks at iHerb sent me some goodies! Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, Kashi Strawberry Fields Cereal and some Bob Red Mills Veggie Soup Mix. Big thanks to iHerb for this, they are a great company, I don’t know what I’d do without them to feed my addictions! Don’t forget you can get $5 off your first order with code AGA105 if you fancy placing an order, the airmail option is quite reasonable and reliable!

Once I’d stretched I made a modified Tutti Fruity green smoothie with red lettuce, kale, spring greens, frozen banana, mango, strawberries and blueberries, coconut water, strawberry hemp protein powder, maca, mesquite, barley grass powder, ground flax and the gums for added thickness. I topped it with some PB&Co Mighty Maple peanut butter sauce, gojis and choc covered sunflower seeds:

Delicious! I’ve been making up a little pot of nut butter sauce using 2-3 tbsp of nut butter (rather than the usual 1 tbsp) mixed with hot water to make sure I’m getting those calories in, especially after runs. I just keep on adding more sauce on top as I eat through the smoothie!

Lunch was a big salad of cos lettuce, red lettuce, carrot, sugar snaps, red onion, cucumber, red pepper and some of that gorgeous sabra hummus watered down a bit into a dressing:

Yum! Today’s eats have been exceptionally high on the greens and veggies, I bought a little more than I needed yesterday, and with me going away they need to be eaten (James won’t eat them unless I cooked them for him!) I decided to make up a super green juice:

Cucumber, celery, broccoli, lemon and ginger, that’s a whole litre of green goodness!

I also made a veggie packed fried rice dish for dinner with leftover brown rice, edamame, broccoli, courgette, red pepper, carrot and sugar snap peas. I added ginger, chilli, shoyu and ume vinegar:

For something so simple this was delish! To use up more greens I made another green smoothie for dessert! This was spinach, cos lettuce, frozen cherries, cocoa powder, ice, water, stevia and peanut flour sauce and freeze dried berries on top:

Lovely, this tasted like a giant bowl of dark chocolate! With all the greens I’ve eaten today I should be full of energy ready for my 4am start in the morning, well that or we’ll be making a lot of toilet stops ;-)

I also spent some time in the kitchen this morning making these beauties to take down to Brighton with me:

Strawberry and Coconut Oaty Buttery Bars! My very own recipe and they taste fab, I had one today (for quality control of course) and they are so lovely – recipe to come!

Well I am now all packed and ready for the 6 hour drive to Brighton in the morning – I’ve packed some foodie bits and pieces, plus lots of magazines to take with me:

Cartons of chocolate and vanilla soy milk, snack bars, nut butter sachets, lemons, Natural Health, Women’s Running, Body Fit, Living Etc and Elle magazines, and yes they cost a bomb but I love my mags!

I love visiting Brighton for all its quirky little shops and great vibe. I’m especially excited to be visiting Brighton as a mostly vegan as they have a wonderful range of veggie friendly eating options, I can’t wait to try them out!

As I said in yesterdays post, I’m going down with my Mam and Dad and James is staying home as he couldn’t take the time off work. Although I’m obviously going to miss him, it is giving me the opportunity for some quality ‘me’ time. I’m planning on a few seaside runs, lots of yoga, a couple of blogger meet ups and even possibly a guided meditation class. I just can’t wait, all I need now is some sunshine :-)

As I did when I visited last year, I have a wish list of things I’d like to get while I’m there:

1. Jewellery, particularly bracelets which I am loving right now! 2. workout gear – I really need to update my workout clothing, especially considering how much time I spend in it! Sweaty Betty looks like it has a good sale on at the mo so I might check that out 3. Scented candles – there’s a shop in Brighton called Abode that sell the loveliest organic plant based scented candles and I’m looking forward to stocking up. 4. I’m due a to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to a iPhone 4 soon and I’d love a Cath Kidson case like this! 5. I will be visiting Bert’s in Brighton which sell a funky range of kitchen ware, I’d really like some new plates etc, will be great for my food photography! 6. Montezuma Chocolate – I love this chocy and there’s a big shop in Brighton so I will be treating myself! 7. I’m desperate for some new shoes, especially flats that actually fit my wide size 8 feet!

I’ll also be stopping by old favourites including Infinity Foods. I’ll probably end up with a few other things as well, I just love the shops in Brighton!

Well I am going to head off to bed ready for my early start in the morning. I’ll probably drop in over the next few days if I have time to say hi :-)

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a great week too!

…but first I just have to share a couple of tasty eats from over the last couple of days!

Yesterdays breakfast:

Butternut smoothie made with roast and frozen butternut squash blended with vanilla rice milk, cinnamon, ground ginger and a dash of vanilla extract topped with treacle granola, crystallised ginger and almond butter sauce (1 tbsp of almond butter mixed with a little hot water from the kettle until drippy – so good, you get much more nut butter this way and that melty texture). I had so many of these back in autumn, and yes this tasted a little autumnal to be eating in June, but oh so good!

This mornings breakfast:

Teeccino Almond Amaretto herbal ‘coffee’ and Peanut butter puffins cereal (both from my iHerb order, more on that in a mo) with strawberries and soy milk. I loved the peanut butter puffins, so delicious paired with the strawberries!

Dinner the last couple of days has been the most gorgeous Sausage and Tomato Rice made with some of my seitan sausage, plus steamed asparagus, spring greens and broccoli:

Last nights dessert was some wonderful carob protein ice cream:

1 scoop of chocolate sun warrior protein powder, vanilla rice milk, 1 tbsp of carob powder, ice, water, stevia, xanthan and guar gums, carob flakes and choc covered sunflower seeds, nom!

Workouts have been the usual stuff, Yoga for Runners again yesterday morning, 3,2,1 gym workout last night and a quick and speedy 45 minute interval and abs and core gym session this morning before work – I love my Friday morning workouts!

Grocery shop round up

As I said a few posts back I thought it might be useful to post the details of some of my grocery shops as I struggle to try and save money. Here’s my grocery shops from this week, plus a few special deliveries!

Monday:

Organic soy milk x 2, happy eggs x 6, romaine, bag of mixed leaves, strawberries, unwaxed lemons, cooked ham, ginger, cucumber, living parsley, courgettes, red onions, white onions, sugar snaps: Total £16.54

Thursday:

Spring greens, mushrooms, organic broccoli, asparagus, romaine lettuce, jazz apples x 2, strawberries, skimmed milk (James is back on the dairy), frozen peas, brita water filter – Total £16.59

Today’s organic veg box:

Bunched onions, summer greens, radishes, little gem lettuce, aubergine, asparagus, tomatoes, apples, nectarines, cantaloupe melon and bag of potatoes and wet garlic (both included for free!): total £16.75 I can’t wait to get cooking with these beautiful organic veggies!

iHerb order:

My first time ordering using the airmail option. I wanted to get more stevia to stock up (addicted to this stuff!), raw crackers as my One Lucky Duck bag is almost empty, Peanut Butter Puffins – I had to try these after seeing them on Nicky’s blog, and some Almond Amaretto Caffeine free Teeccino as I love the Chocolate Mint version I bought in NYC. Total with shipping $28.70 /approx £17.50

Goodness Direct Order:

I decided that I would make good use of the discount code I have available and place an order to stock up on some of my faves and some new stuff. I got Vita Coco 100% Pure Coconut Water x 4, Biona Organic Soya Beans x 3, Dorset Cereals Tasty Low-Fat Flakes Apple Cherry Raspberry & Cranberry, Provamel Organic Natural Yofu x 2, Sojade Natural Soy Yoghurt with Bifidus, Clear Spot Organic Tofu Smokey, Taifun Basil Tofu, Taifun Tofu Rosso, Taifun Beechwood Smoked Tofu, Meridian Organic Cashew Butter, Yogi Tea Green Chai, Yogi Tea Sweet Chilli Mexican Spice, Mapletons Fru Grains, sesame date bar (included free!) Total with discount £33.58    

Not too bad on the money saving front, even though this seems like a lot it will last for a long while. I did make a good saving on the Goodness Direct order which has well and truly stocked my fridge and cupboards, I was also quite happy that the refrigerated stuff has good long use by dates well into July. As I’ve bought a couple of smaller shops nothing has been wasted either. Obviously the iHerb order was a bit of a one off (promise!), at least I saved on the usual DHL shipping and customs charges. My plan for the rest of the month is to use up as much as possible from what I already have, just supplementing with fresh fruit and veggies.

I thought I’d do a post about ordering from iHerb as I have had several emails from readers asking me how you go about it. Its not as straight forward as it may seem due to the different postage options and possible customs charges. However, these can be navigated so you can access all the goodies that iHerb have to offer! Please note this post has been written with UK readers in mind.

*I can’t take any responsibility for any unexpected customs chargers incurred – you can challenge Royal Mail if you feel they are not correct. This post is not sponsored, I just really like iHerb! This post is in response to readers requests :-)

1. Check out the site First and foremost take a look at the site! I have listed below some of my top iHerb products that I purchase on a regular basis.

2. Create an account Then you need to create an account. Once you have created your account and entered your address details the postage options for the UK (or where ever in the world you live – iHerb post to loads of different countries) should be displayed on your Cart page.  As an international customer there may be an extra step involved in approving your credit card but you will be emailed for any further information if they require it.

3. Add items to your wish list Once you have created an account this also means that you are able to create a wish list! I think the best way to start an order is to create a wish list of the products you would like to try. When viewing products you should see an ‘add to wish list’ link.

4. Add to Cart and create your order Once you have filled your wish list its time to create your order selecting the products you would like and adding them to your cart. I advise using the wish list function as an easy way to list the things you want, as you might need to mix up the different products in each order to be able to fit the shipping weight and total cost rules detailed below.

5. Decide on shipping options using the rules For us in the UK we have two main postage options – airmail or DHL / UPS. For DHL there is a high shipping fee added, however your order will arrive much quicker than by airmail. You will be charged additional customs fees and DHL tend to withhold your order until you call them and pay those charges. I have used DHL in the past, but would only use it now for really large orders and if I was desperate!

The much more affordable option is airmail. To ensure you can use the airmail option and avoid customs charges if you are in the UK you need to follow these rules:

• The package has a shipping weight of less than 4lb
• The total of the goods (sub total) is less than £15 (at the moment this equates to $23.24, but use a currency converter to double check)

If both of those rules are followed you should not be charged anything additional other than the $6 shipping fee. I have recently placed orders for Sun Warrior Protein Powder which is more than £15 and NOT had any customs charges, so sometimes Royal Mail might not check!

Standard international airmail is $6 on top of your order (unless your order totals more than $40 but then you would get charged customs charges anyway). Below you can see a breakdown of what customs would charge you if you went over the £15:

6. Decide if you need to split or order else where If what you would like to order is made up of several smaller cheaper items it will probably be worth splitting them down into a few packages to keep their totals under the £15, regardless of weight. If you are ordering something which is over the £15 in its own right, then you will need to work out the additional charges you may get, check to see if you can purchase that product from a cheaper source in the UK, and if not weigh up how much you really want that product! Make sure you use code AGA105 for $5 off your first order.

7. Place your order! Once you hit ‘proceed to check out’ you will be asked to confirm the shipping option and review your order before confirming it. If using airmail your package will tend to arrive in about 10 – 15 days. I like to make a small order once a month or so, its a lovely surprise when it arrives!

Hi Everyone, huge thank you to those that commented on yesterday’s post, thankfully I’m feeling completely back to my old self!

Today kicked off with Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred. I’ll be changing up my DVD’s for next month so this was my last shredding session for a while. I can’t say I’m going to miss it!

For breakfast I decided to make some super creamy pumpkin porridge on the stove. I used the same ingredients as the last time I made it but used plain scottish oats instead of the Rude Health Fruity Date and added a huge tablespoon of full fat greek yoghurt. I topped this bowl with two chopped dried figs and some flaked almonds. I also made a cup of my gingerbread coffee.

Such a great breakfast, the porridge was amazingly creamy but the coffee wasn’t as gingerbready as I’d hoped. I think I need to use a little more ground coffee to my cafetiere and add some agave to bring out the sweetness.

Lunch was some of my Chickpea and Vegetable Curry from the freezer served with some spinach and steamed cabbage with a little soy sauce. I also had a pear.

Mid afternoon I snacked on some hummus with carrot and seeded crackers plus a jazz apple.

I headed off to my yoga class which was brilliant again, we did a mix of standing and sitting postures and ended with a shoulder stand which I was really chuffed I could manage.

After yoga I went to Costas but since I had drank coffee this morning (and I knew anymore coffee would keep me awake until who knows when) I went for a green tea to drink along with the slice of apple and parsnip bread and jazz apple I’d brought with me.

Earlier today my iHerb order arrived, I was like a kid at Christmas! This is what I ordered:

Sun Warrior Raw Vegan Protein Powder in Chocolate and Vanilla flavour, Bob’s Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten, Guar Gum and 10 Grain Hot Cereal, Spiru-tein Fruitein Rainbow Protein Powder, Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Eden Foods Ume Plum Vinegar, Luna Chocolate Peppermint Stick Bars, Lundburg Sweet Dreams Organic Brown Rice Syrup.

Ok, this cost a bloody fortune, however (I’m only justifying this spending to myself by the way) I had the money available, I’m selling my old stock of processed whey powder to my sis in law, and above all else - this makes me happy! Some people are into keeping horses, others are into motorbikes, this is my little hobby and its cheaper than either of those!  Ok justification over ;-)

I’ve always wanted to try Sun Warrior and as I’m trying to clean up my eats alongside eating a more plant based diet so I though protein powders would be a good place to start. This is made from brown rice protein, has an amazingly short ingredients list and is vegan. Yes, this is a lot more expensive than my usual whey but I’m planning on eating it in moderation anyway.

With the Bob’s Red Mill products I plan to try making my own Seitan with the vital wheat gluten, using the guar gum in my beloved protein ice creams (guar gum adds creaminess) and basically the hot cereal seemed pretty cheap and tasty!

As for the Fruitein powder, I had tried a sachet a few months ago and thought it was delicious. It’s still processed and not vegan (it contains bee pollen) but the nutritional stats are very impressive and it tastes lovely.

I’ve read about coconut oil across the blog world pretty much since I started blogging and I basically want to see what the fuss is about! I certainly plan to try making homemade chocolate with it!

The Ume Vinegar is an ingredient I read about in The Kind Diet and fancied giving it a try, along with the brown rice syrup which you in the same way as agave or maple syrup.

I’ve also wanted to try Luna bars for ages and the chocolate peppermint stick flavour sounded right up my street!

So with all of this stuff my kitchen is in serious need of re organisation. I’ll be spending the weekend doing a Monica from Friends impression. I’ll also report back as and when I try these products out.

I’m off out tomorrow night (yey!) with my sis in law so I’m going to take the night off from the blog. But hope you check back over the weekend as I have loads to blog about including my first organic veg box delivery, a new haircut (I’m still on the fence about going for a big change!) and I might even show you the state of my kitchen cupboards! Hope you have a great weekend :-)

As predicted I felt totally out of sync this morning when I woke up. My body had been expecting a Monday routine, but no, it was up early for my strength DVD - Davinas 3 30 Minute Workouts Pump Section. I haven't done this DVD in ages and really enjoyed it. It was made tougher due to the DOMS I was experiencing pretty much all over. I don't get DOMS very often but it must have been due to the strength on Sunday and Cardio yesterday.

After I done that I went and made myself a huge Chocolate Cherry Green Monster with loads of spinach, frozen cherries, scoop of chocolate whey, vanilla rice milk and water. This was just wonderful, I love Green Monsters so much!


Work hasn't been too bad, I have no meetings for the rest of the week which makes a huge change so I can really catch up with my to do list.

Lunch was a bowl of Asian Chicken Soup from my frozen stash. I'm trying to demolish the giant pile of frozen stuff in my freezer as its getting rather crowded in there!


Followed by 2 juicy pears.


Mid afternoon I snacked on an apple and two babybel light.


After work I popped to the supermarket for some more grocery shopping, considering I'm trying to eat stuff from the freezer I'm still buying a load of fresh stuff! I really need to try and focus on getting my shopping bills down a bit too. Its just very difficult when you try and eat a clean, healthy diet and you like experimenting with food, if I was happy to eat ready meals and crisps I'd save a fortune! But I wouldn't be very healthy and sometimes you can't put a price on that!

Anyway, speaking of spending too much money on food, when I got home my first order from iHerb had arrived!


My wish list this month had included maca powder, chia seeds and nutritional yeast and iHerb seemed like the best place to be able to order all three 'Superfood' products. I've read so much about them on other blogs I really wanted to give them a try. Heres a brief description for anyone who hasn't come across these before -

Maca Powder - powdered maca root, has been used in South America for years to help general nourishment and healing. Is nutrient packed and can support the body to deal with stress. I've seen it used on other blogs in smoothies, porridge, sprinkled on apples with cinnamon etc.

Chia Seeds - high in omega 3 fatty acids and an array of other nutrients also very high in fibre. Can slow the absorption of sugar in to the blood stream. I've seen this used in numerous blogs added to porridge / oatmeal and smoothies

Nutritional Yeast - good source of protein and vitamins, especially Vit B12. Can be used in a similar way to parmesan cheese, sprinkled on popcorn or mixed with hummus and water to make a humnut sauce for vegetables.

I can't wait to try them all out!

For dinner I continued with trying to use up some frozen stuff so I had some defrosted and microwaved homemade chilli with a big pile of salad and topped it with a sprinkling of nutritional yeast so I could have a taste.

I couldn't really taste it that much but it has a nutty cheesy flavour. I can see me trying this in a few different dishes. For desert I whipped up a bowl of tofu vanilla pudding.


Photographed on my new butterfly tea towel!
Drinks - water, green tea, decaf tea

Have you tried maca powder, chia seeds or nutritional yeast? Can you give me any ideas for recipes I can use them in? Hope that if today was your first day back at work after the Easter break it wasn't too bad! Hope you've all had a good Tuesday! x
