Perfect Protein Pancakes

After a workout, it is very important to eat a good serving of protein – I aim for about 20-30g but this will differ for everyone depending on your height, weight, intensity of your workout, your goals. It is important to eat protein after a workout in order for your muscles to recover - essentially during a workout what you are doing is tearing your muscles, and protein helps repair them. This is a more interesting (and delicious!) way of getting your protein in, rather than just having a shake or some chicken.

Sunshine Lemon Drizzle Cake

I love a good Lemon Drizzle Cake. What spurred me on to make this was that my Mum had actually bought one from Marks and Spencer's and I thought to myself - I can make a better one that isn't packed full of sugar but still bursting with that zingy lemon flavour. Well, let's just say my Mum will never be buying a lemon drizzle cake from Marks and Spencer's again!

Sweet Saturday Fries

Sweet potatoes are a great alternative to regular white potatoes. They are packed with vitamins and minerals and offer over 400% of your RDA of vitamin A; they also contain more vitamin C and fibre and contain less calories and carbohydrates than regular white potatoes. 

There are so many ways of cooking sweet potatoes but for this recipe I will be making fries; baked not fried! I also made an absolutely delicious garlic "mayo" to go with them.
