The Healthy Indulger Day on a plate:
7:00am
I start my morning with a mindful meditation for 10-20 minutes.
7:30am
I do 30 minutes of exercise – either an interval run, strength training, Pilates or a jog.
Before breakfast I drink 1L of water. I drink around 3L throughout the day.
8:30am
Breakfast:
I think breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I like to make sure I have a nourishing meal full of protein and good fats, but I don’t always have time to make something. My go-to for days like these is bircher muesli.
Bircher muesli:
- Overnight, soak ½ cup homemade sugar free muesli (a mixture of oats, raw nuts and seeds, shredded coconut) with 2 heaped tbsp. organic Greek yoghurt and ¼ cup almond milk.
- In the morning I add 1 serving of natural vanilla whey protein and topped with fresh strawberries, freeze dried berries, cinnamon, herbs and raw nuts for an extra crunch.
Mid-morning I have a green tea – there are so many health benefits for skin, digestion, brain function and overall health and it’s full of antioxidants.
1:30 pm
Lunch
Rainbow bowl:
I often use leftovers from the night before to put together my lunch, as I’m quite busy and it makes life easier:
Coconut oil roasted veggies of mushrooms, cauliflower, capsicum, cinnamon carrots, broccolini and zucchini) with green tea poached chicken and sprouts on a bed of spinach.
4:00pm
In the afternoon I have my second green tea with some carrot sticks and cottage cheese.
7:00pm
Dinner
Individual frittatas:
2 eggs with a dash of almond milk, fresh spinach, pumpkin and mushrooms cooked in an individual ramekin. After dinner I have a peppermint tea.
