Egg Fried Pasta 🍝

This is another super easy favourite of mine for a quick meal when I don’t have time to plan and my cupboards are empty 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s basically an alfreddo pasta dish which is really simple to put together and really tasty 😋.. For a gluten free option you could choose gluten free pasta or rice – it would also taste great I just tend to choose wholemeal pasta since I prefer the texture and I find it’s easy on my tummy ☺️☺️ so the ingredients are:

30g boiled pasta or rice of your choice 🍚

2 eggs and 2 egg whites beaten together 🍳

Tuna (or any fish of your choice) 🐟

1/3 Ripe avocado 🥑

1 large tbsp Greek yoghurt (0% fat)

A splash of lemon juice 🍋

Salt, pepper and a pinch of paprika 🌶

Basically once you’ve cooked the pasta you just need to drain it and place it back in the pot and ‘stir-fry’ it with the egg mixture and spices (salt, pepper and paprika) on medium heat ☺️ – it is very important to continuously stir the mixture otherwise you will get a pasta omelette 🙈🙈 – once the egg stops being goo-ey (usually around 10 mins) then remove the mixture from the pot and let it settle for 10 minutes..

In the meantime begin to blend the avocado with the Greek yoghurt and lemon juice and once you have a nice consistency take it out of the blender and stir in the tuna.. by now the pasta should have cooled a little so just mix it all together and voila… I tend to put snow peas or sugar snaps on the side too and have a couple of energy balls for dessert 🙈 (check out the pic below)… 🤤 Yummy!

The Monster WOD

Hey everyone 👋🏻

So  last Friday I had two special occasions in one day – a farewell WOD with a super member all the way from the USA!! and a very good friend’s wedding 👰 where there was an abundance of food and goodies… so they kind of made sense together… basically burn as many calories as possible before we make up for it heavily in the evening 😂😅 The WOD we did in honour of Jared joining us for 6 weeks – it’s a see you soon and not a goodbye – was a team workout called ‘1776’ together where we had to accumulate 1776 total reps between the following movements:

KB Swings  200

Burpees  200

Pull ups  200

Push ups 200

Sit ups   200

Squats  200

Cals Row  200

Double Unders  200

DB Push Press 100

Box Jumps 76

And here we are after the killer above:

Jared was an awesome member and an even better WOD partner (who happily took on nearly all the pull ups in exchange for burpees – my favourite – 😅😅 who could ask for more 🙈🙈)

This WOD is super fun and also really motivating since it’s done in teams – so definitely worth a try!

Give it a try 💪🏻

🍪 Energy Balls 🍪

So the very first recipe I wanted to share with you guys are these super amazing energy balls – I usually make these when I’m craving something sweet as they keep me satiated and give me that sweet kick I need 😅 – I absolutely love dates for these types of foods – they are so naturally sweet that they are all you need as a source of sugar 🙃 so the ingredients are as follows:

• 1 cup mixed nuts (I used almonds and pecans with a few cashews)
• 1 cup dates (standard pitted dates are fine – if you use medjool dates you need less)
• 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)

Super straight forward recipe.. all you need to do is put the nuts in a (nut friendly) blender and blend till they are finely chopped – in the meantime place the dates in some hot water to soften them… once this is done add all the powders to the nuts in the blender and finally the softened dates (they should be soft enough after about 7 mins) and blend away.. and you should get something that looks like the below:

Once you have this mixture you just take heaped teaspoons of the mixtures and roll them up into pretty little balls 🍪 as you can see below and pop them into the fridge and take out and eat as required 🙃😃

Hope you ❤️ this recipe as much as I do!
