The best goddamn homemade granola ever
Here’s my favourite recipe for homemade granola. I make a big batch that lasts me for 2 weeks at a time stored in the fridge. This recipe is so jam packed full of healthy foods like nuts and seeds, wheat germ & dried fruit that you will get a mouthful of goodness in every bite! It’s also […]
Tips for athletes on staying healthy during stressful times of training & competition
Today’s post is inspired by the unit I am working through at the moment in my nutrition studies. I have been doing a lot of research on athletes, competition and impaired immune function. I thought it would be a good time to do a blog post on it, seeing as we are right in the […]
Overnight Chia Fruit Pots
Here’s the recipe for my overnight chia fruit pots layered with caramelised figs, strawberries and blackberries. I based this recipe off the Jamie Oliver one and just added/changed a few things. Chia seeds are pretty cool if you flavour them well. They’re really high in protein & fibre & are a good source of magnesium! […]
Thoughts on self-sabotage and how my “so what” rule helps me out

Spicy Thai fish curry with rice noodles
Here is a yummy recipe for spicy Thai fish curry that I cooked last night. I based mine off of the one from www.delicious.com.au & I just changed a few things around. I have it with thin rice noodles (Pad-Thai noodles). The thing I love about this dish is that even if you aren’t the biggest fan of […]
Exercise bulimia: the new eating disorder
Did you know there are other eating disorders that can be a lot more subtle and less talked about than the bigger, more well known ones like anorexia?

Pad Ka-Prao (Ground meat stir fired with Thai basil)
Growing up in Thailand, this was one of my favourite dishes. It’s a simple & very tasty dish you can make. You can have it on its own, in lettuce leaves or with Jasmine rice. It’s great for meal prep as well as it tastes even better heated up the next day! You can actually […]

Baked Moroccan Lemon Chicken
Here’s a chicken dish I made last night. It’s my go-to recipe for baked Moroccan lemon chicken. I love making this because it’s so easy, tastes great and is also good for food prep and leftovers. Chicken thighs are the best to use for this recipe. Many health-conscious people shy away from eating chicken thighs and chose only […]
How much weight loss per week is healthy and sustainable?
I always laugh when someone comes to me and says something along the lines of: “I need to look good in this swimsuit in two weeks!!” or “I want a six pack in 6 weeks” No. just no. What you need to do is have realistic expectations before beginning your diet and training program or […]
Spicy Tahini Dressing

You can serve it with rice, couscous, bread, fish, meat, chicken, or as a salad dressing & it also makes a lovely vegetarian & vegan side dish. It’s delicious with tofu & other vegetarian friendly foods. Tonight I had it with grilled fried […]
