Your Saturday night takeaway, courtesy of me.

This takes about 15 mins, quicker than the time it takes to get a Deliveroo!

Being healthy doesn’t mean giving up on your favourite foods, it just needs you to make a couple of healthier choices along the way.

Chicken Souvlaki

Ingredients:

4x Large Leaves of Lettuce
1/2 Cucumber
1/2 Small Red Onion
Black Olives
10x Cherry Tomatoes
15x Feta Cubes
2x Tbsp Tzatziki
2x Chicken Breasts
1x Tsp Olive Oil
2x Flatbreads

Method:

Prepare your garnish: slice the lettuce, red onion, black olives, tomatoes and cut the feta into cubes.

Butterfly your chicken breasts - Slice into the chicken longways, leaving a 1cm section. Place onto a chopping board sliced side down and tenderise. You want it to be as thin as possible, without it falling apart. Generously season each side with salt and pepper.

Heat a frying pan to high, with a dash of olive oil. Once it starts spitting, add the chicken to pan and cooking until there is a good sear each side.

Preheat grill, once it has reached high heat, place your flatbreads underneath. When blackspots start appearing on the flatbreads, turn over and grill the opposite side.

Once the flatbreads are cooked, cover one side with a thin layer of tzatziki, then add the lettuce, red onion, feta, black olives, tomatoes and feta. Place one chicken breast on top and add another dollop of tzatziki. Take the widest part of the flatbread and wrap together.

A heathy lifestyle is exactly what it says on the tin. Getting outside and going for a walk is always a great way to keep leading a healthy life, plus you see some pretty stuff when you go outside!

Walks are the perfect way to spend a rest day, helping to relieve the aches and pains from DOMs/fatigue.

Bloody get outside and go get lost... luckily I had a tour guide.

Spicy Shakshuka 🌶

This has to be one of my favourite lunches and is a regular meal in my diet. It’s high in protein, low carb and bloody delicious.

Not only is it the perfect winter belly warmer, it’s also a lovely light meal to eat in the summer too!

This is one spicy mama, so feel free to amend the recipe to your own spice levels - I like it HOT 🥵

Also, I forgot to take a picture of all the ingredients laid out

Ingredients:

2x Eggs
400ml Chopped Tomatoes
1x Tbsp Tomato Puree
1x Garlic Clove Crushed Into Paste
1/2 Diced Red Onion
1/2 Diced Scotch Bonnet Chilli
1/4 Diced Red Pepper
1x Tsp Worcester Sauce
1x Tsp Hot Sauce
1x Tbsp Red Pesto
25g Cubed Feta
1x Tsp Cumin
1x Tbsp Paprika
1x Tsp Coriander
1x Slice of Sourdough
1x Chopped Spring Onion
1x Radish Thinly Sliced

Method:
Preheat a small frying pan at medium high heat with 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil.

Once hot and oil is quickly moving around the pan, add the diced onion and cook until see-through.

Add Worcester Sauce, Hot Sauce and season with salt & pepper, cooking until the onions caramelise. Add the Red Pepper and cook until it starts to sweat.

Add the Tomato Puree, Garlic Paste, Red Pesto, Scotch Bonnet, Cumin and Paprika, then cook until a paste forms. Add in the Chopped Tomatoes and turn up the heat to high, bring them to a boil.

Turn the heat to a simmer, then use the back of a ladle to create two divots and place each cracked egg into the gaps. Sprinkle the feta on top of each egg and place a lid onto the frying pan. Toast the Sourdough.

Once the eggs turn white, remove lid, transfer to bowl and then garnish with Radish, Spring Onion and Coriander. Serve with Toasted Sourdough.

Vegan Sunday Shake 🥤

For the final day of Veganuary, I thought I’d give you a tasty shake recipe that you can either use as a meal replacement or for a massive calorie hit.

It’s bloody delicious, whether you’re a vegan or not!

Ingredients:

(Serves 2x)
400ml Almond Milk
1 tray of Ice
2 Tbsps of Peanut Butter
2 Tbsps of Vegan Vanilla Yogurt
2 Scoops of Vegan Protein Powder - I used White Chocolate & Coconut
2 Scoops of Oats
2 Scoops of Raw Cacao Nibs
1 Tbsp of Chia Seeds
1 Tbsp of Flax Seeds

Method:

Place all the ingredients in a blender, making sure that coarser ingredients that need more grinding closer to the blades. i.e. Put the ice closest to the blades of your blender and the milk the furthest away - Press go!

I bloody love breakfast, it’s by far my favourite meal of the day.

Here’s a gurt bowl of oats, topped with flaked almonds, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter, some Fuel granola and a sprinkle of cinnamon (also splashed in some zero calorie salted caramel syrup, but shh 🤫).

What’s your favourite meal?

We all have set backs...

The left was my progress after months of relentless training, football and living a pretty full-on lifestyle. The right is myself today, the first day back training after a very lazy lockdown 2.0, tearing a ligament in my knee mid-December and getting Covid at the beginning of 2021. ‘Appy FACKIN’ New Year, right?!

Today I began the rehabilitation of my knee, cardio fitness levels and getting back to full health.

This year I will be posting far more content, as I’ve spent the past 2 months putting together some extremely tasty recipes (hence the pot belly) and will be finishing my qualifications.

It’s going to be a big year!

🎵 We’re going to Lockdown 2, Electric Avenue... 🎵

So here we are, Lockdown 2.0. During our three months of freedom and permission to return to gyms, I decided to revisit an old gym routine from that I’ve completed before, named AX-1. It’s weight based training, but with athletic performance and functionality at the forefront of its goals.

During the 12 week program I tried to keep my calorie intake high, in the hope to bulk a little and here’s the results.

As gyms close, we all need to refocus our plans and ensure we keep exercising, at probably the most challenging part of the year to prioritise health. It’s cold, wet, windy and dark, with no attractive place to go and exercise.

I’ll be doing my best to workout from home, and would love help out anyone struggling with what to do with no equipment!

A great way to help motivate you to get outside and exercising, is playing in a team sport.

I play Sunday League football for and it’s been my main motivator to get fit and exercise.

The idea of contributing to a team that’s bigger than any individual in the squad, is not only grounding and humbling, but also gives you a healthy level of competitiveness.

The camaraderie you build with your teammates, along with sense of contributing to a community, means team sports are not only great for fitness, but also for your mental health.

Whenever I step on a football pitch, I can promise you I’m not thinking about anything else in the world. Even though I may be shouting at everyone, it’s my personal happy place.

Here I am taking the squad through a warmup routine, focusing on mobility, flexibility, injury prevention and also raising their core temperatures for an effective training session. I’m

Welcome and thank you to all my new likes. Here’s a video of some peanut butter melting in porridge.

Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth.

They're a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

Studies show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits, including weight loss, lower blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of heart disease.

Plus they have loads of protein in them, so great for fuelling your muscles.

Another 6 weeks, and this time I adapted my diet to get on a bit of a bulk.

Though, I didn’t plan on my hair bulking too

I followed the exact training programme as before, so here’s an example of the difference diet makes to your overall results!

Slide in my DMs and let’s talk about your own training and how I can help you reach your goals.
