Healthy Recipes

Here I aim to add one or more recipes a week that I have tried and tested to ensure they are as tasty as possible. I will aim to get all the calorie information if possible.

Here is my first recipe, it is very basic but a favourite of mine.

Banana-Berry Smoothie

Ingredients:
1 Banana
1C Frozen Berries
1/2C Trim Milk
1/2C Natural Yoghurt
1 Scoop protein power, I use sculpt (Optional)

Directions:
Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until you reach desired texture.

*If you want to you can add a teaspoon of Honey to sweeten the tartness of Natural Yoghurt

Without the honey and protein powder this shake is 250 calories (according to fitness pal) and includes 2 servings of fruit and one of dairy.

This is a great snack for anyone in a hurry or wanting an alternative for breakfast.

My second recipe is another great breakfast that will keep your energy up for the morning.

Power Porridge

Ingredients:
1 Sachet Quick Oats (I use uncle toby's quick oats)
1 Scoop Protein Powder (I like sculpt)
1/2C Water
1/2C Trim Milk
1t Chia Seeds

Directions:
Make up quick oats as per instructions using the water (can use additional trim milk if you wish). Once the porridge is cooked add the protein powder and chia seeds on top. Add the milk last and stir in so that the powder mixes in. Before eating leave for a few minutes to allow the Chia Seeds to hydrate a little.

*You can also add some fruit if you wish, I sometimes like to add a few berries.

This breakfast is worth 240 calories according to fitness pal.

Enjoy xx
