The Pumpkin Spice Latte Craze!

Hi everyone!

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are all the rage these days, but they are full of calories and sugar!! I have made my own pumpkin pie spice that can be added to coffee, protein shakes, oats, in cakes, whatever you want!! This recipe makes enough for a small tin, each serving in coffee or oats is less than 1 Tsp, so this should last you the season!

Chicken Fried Rice

Hi everyone!!

Today's recipe is for Chicken Fried Rice (the macro friendly version)! This is such a simple recipe, especially if you already have some chicken and rice cooked (or even the bags of microwave rice are perfect)! Of course all ingredients and amounts can be adjusted to suit your macro needs so you can use more/less rice, chicken, eggs, egg whites or even switch up the veggies!

Simple Shredded Chicken

Hi Everyone!

Today I am back with a super simple recipe for shredded chicken which can be put together in less than 10 minutes! This is a great one for meal preppers out there as it keeps in the fridge for a few days and can be added to so many different dishes throughout the week! It is great cooked up with peppers and onions for a quick fajita filling, or added to soups, in sandwiches, or with rice and veg.

Will Lifting Weights & Drinking Protein Shakes Make Me Bulky??

Hi everyone!

This is a blog post I have been meaning to write for a while now as I still see so many girls just pounding the pavements and running on treadmills and lifting no weights or doing any kind of resistance work. I am here to dispel the myth that lifting weights makes girls bulky. First of all if you think you're going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger after one session (or even 100 sessions) you are very mistaken. It took Arnie years to build up that kind of muscle and also he is of the male species which means he has a much higher percentage of lean muscle mass than females, due to the higher amount of testosterone males produce. It is significantly harder for females to gain muscle mass, so you really shouldn't be concerned you're going to look like Arnie any time soon. This quote below comes to mind.

Creamy Mediterranean Pasta with Chicken

Hi everyone!


I made this super simple (and Macro Friendly) pasta dish for my family last night for dinner and it went down an absolute treat so I thought I would share the recipe with you. I haven't given specific amounts for the ingredients because it can be adapted to suit your own macros with as much chicken, veg and pasta as needed. You can also use whatever veg you want, this is just what I used. For my portion which used 75g high protein pasta, 125g cooked chicken and 50g sauce it came to 521 calories 52C/9F/61P.

Make Your Own Almond Butter on the Cheap

Hi Everyone!

I am back with a recipe for you this time. I have made my own almond butter before and it's just so delicious - this time I tried out two different variations by just adding one ingredient to each batch. Simples. I made a vanilla almond butter and a white chocolate almond butter! 

Almond butter can be quite pricey to buy, ranging from €4-5 per jar, so if you're like me and go through a lot of nut butter, it can get very expensive! I picked up a few 200g bags of raw almonds from Lidl for under €2 each and the extra ingredients I used were less than €1 each so each 180g jar works out at under €3.
