About Me

My photo
I think every meal (yes, every meal!) can and should incorporate some kind of fruit or vegetable. This is a blog that will show you how. I'm a Health Advisor by trade, which means I help people find easy, realistic ways to tweak their eating and exercise habits to maximise their health and well-being. I firmly beleive being healthy is not about dieting, skipping meals, cutting out food groups or exercising until you can't see straight. All you need is to move more, and vegetate your plate!

Banana Breakfast Pod


The perfect grab-and-go breakfast for those who simply do not have time in the mornings (aka- everyone).

Make this the night before in approximately 1.7 minutes flat, pop in the fridge overnight and let time do the rest!

Contains one of your five a day, oats for  slow-release energy, chia and flax seed for fibre and omega-3, and Greek yoghurt and sunflower seeds for protein to keep you full - at least until your mid-morning snack (don't pretend like you don't have one).

What You'll Need:

- half a banana, the riper (and therefore squidgier) the better
- 1 tablespoon oats
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 tablespoon flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yoghurt
- sprinkling of pumpkin seeds
- squeeze of honey
- cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water
- a little Tupperware pot to build it in. (Make sure has a well fitted lid! Greek yoghurt spillage in work bag: sub-optimal)

The How-To:

1. Mash the banana in the pot with a fork. 
2. Pop the chia and flax seeds on top.
3. Add water into the pot and stir well.
4. Add the oats, cinnamon and Greek yoghurt, stirring well again to ensure everything is mixed thoroughly. 
4. Top with sunflower seeds and honey. 
5. Fridge overnight. 
6. Don't forget to grab on the way out the door in the morning!
