Coconut Carrot Cake Overnight Oats 🥕🥕🥕 Breakfast inspiration sorted 🌟🌟🌟 Recipe in full below - and on my blog via the link in my bio 😘👉 . . 🌟 Pop the following into a tupperware/jar/bowl: 50g oats, 250ml milk, 1/2 medium carrot grated, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg, 1 tbsp desiccated coconut + your fave nutty toppings (pecans + walnuts are LIT in this!) 😍 Leave overnight + in the morning tuck in - I usually add an extra spoon of nut butter 😂 . . 🌟 I always want my foodie photo game to be better BUT my photos are also my real life meals + my phone = my camera + there are not 25 hours in the day (my goal is to find the 25th 😂) So trust me when I say - this brekkie is LEGIT tasty 😊 I've also done a protein version with extra liquid + a scoop of @nutristrength vanilla pea protein! . . 🌟Enjoy guys & tag me if you try this one out! Happy Tuesday - I've got my oats packed to refuel after an early gym sesh + before college! 😊 You'd think I'd be sick of oats by now... NEVER 😂Made using @flahavansuk @tasteofavonmore 😊 #overnightoats #recipeoftheday #breakfastrecipe #breakfast #carrotcake
Motivation 🌟 Mindset 🌟 Finding Your Why 🌟 NEW PODCAST episode is UP guys & gals ⭐⭐ . . ⭐ To kickstart your week I am bringing you this week's Podcast episode to answer my FAQ these days - How do I stay motivated? 🙉 A LOT of you asked for this topic on the Podcast - so I've broken it down into my motivation for healthy habits AND for career 🤗 I don't pretend to have all of my shizz figured out, trust me - far from it 🙉 . . ⭐But a key part of what keeps me motivated and driven is my why. Both in my personal + doctor life. My Ikigai - my reason to jump out of bed in the morning (jump might be a strong word - but I do dramatically fling the covers back after taking 3 deep breaths when I wake up to get up 😉) Have a listen into the episode to hear more - and I would LOVE to hear your thoughts! And what motivates you! . . ⭐Happy Monday - it's a brand new week gang 😊 I'm starting mine with my Yoga mat and a Strength flow with @caleyalyssa @aloyoga 🧘‍♀️ Mixing it up from the gym this morning - the mat was calling 🤗 Then its coffee, refuel & tuck into a busy day 😉 Have a good one gang! 😘 . . ⭐Photo @rainforestspa 😊
CREAMY DREAMY CHICKPEA CURRY 🌟🌟🌟 Oh YES gang - I am VERY excited to share this latest recipe with you all! 😘 This curry was an absolute #mealprep game-changer for me this week - You know those moments when you go 'Damn. I did good!' 😂 They don't happen often but holy moly it did for this curry ❤ Link in my bio if you're meal-prepping today or in need of a mid-week meal idea! . . ⭐My 2019 foodie resolution, as many of you will know, is to try one new #plantbased recipe per week. So far, I've just finished Week 6! And this curry was definitely my fave to date 😊 I frickin LOVE chickpeas - so versatile, cheap as chips to buy & full of the good stuff from plant protein + fibre 😊 . . 🌟Let me know if you give this one a go! Happy Sunday folks - I hope you have a lovely day planned before we start a new week! 😊 I've got a morning of work ahead so I've kicked things off with my morning ritual on the Sundays - a walk, yoga, + now tucking into coffee + Carrot Cake Overnight Oats (look at my story for recipe!) with my laptop ready to go 🤓 Going to see an absolute hero tonight - @dollyalderton at @nationalconcerthall - I AM SO EXCITED. ❤❤❤ #chickpeacurry #healthyrecipes #mealprepsunday
What Was The Last Book YOU Read??? 📚📚📚 One of my 2019 resolutions was to use my phone less + read more - especially at times of the day like before bed + on my train commute to college ⭐ Why? Because I absolutely adore reading, and I found I was letting 'working on content' get in the way of the books I wanted to tuck into 🙉 . . ⭐ I made this decision after finishing Everything I Know About Love by @dollyalderton in October. I hadn't resonated with a book like that in a LONG time + it sparked that reading love in me again 😊 You guys know I ADORE writing - I can lose myself for God knows how long writing. And reading too. I used to enter Readathons for charity + write books as a kid 😂 . . ⭐Then I read Becoming by Michelle Obama. Holy moly. 2 game changers straight 💜 I shared both as book reviews on my Instagram + loved your feedback! Over the Christmas break after exams I picked out some new reads - and at my first @galzgonewild_ hike I met @roisinmckeonn and ended up joining a new book club she had just joined too! 😊 We just finished Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (I don't have enough characters to review it here now! But WOW 😂) - and our current is Normal People by Sally Rooney which I finished yesterday... and will post a review on after our next meet up. But for now - HIGHLY recommend. I'm on the hunt for her first book now! . . ⭐ I would LOVE to know what YOU guys are reading? I use @audible too + have Dean + Anne Ornish's Undo It on now! Paperbacks I'm currently working through - Deep Work, Eating Animals + fiction is the latest Cormoran Strike novel! . . ⭐Reading is one of life's simplest pleasures in my book (get it 😂) Let me know your faves! Happy Saturday - I'm off to my first Reformer Pilates class! @reformation.ie ! #reading #bookclub #books #bookreview #saturdaymorning
Healthy Eating On The Go 🌟🌟🌟 A Brand NEW ARTICLE on my blog for this week's Friday Focus gang - all about my top tips to fuel your busy day +commute right! 😊 Link in my bio! 😘 . . ⭐ In this week's article I share my top tips I follow to keep my brain + body nourished during a busy week on the go 💪 It can be tricky during the week for us all, between work, collage, hobbies, making time for family + friends... I know for many of you guys cooking + planning ahead for food can often end up way down the list! . . ⭐ I hear ya! BUT there are some simple little hacks to minimise the time + work you give to cooking + food prepping - and which instead give you all the enjoyment + deliciousness instead 😊 In the article I chat about Meal Prepping (in more ways than one!), Making your Freezer your Friend, Snack Attack Solutions, + I share some recipe ideas too! . . ⭐ This photo is a RARE lunch out I had @groundstatecoffee this week - normally I'm a MAJOR Meal Prep princess as you all know 😂 But it's my way of showing you sometimes it's nice to give yourself a little break from that Tupperware life - especially when it's for a Buddha Bowl like this ❤ . . ⭐Happy FRIYAY! I'm going Gym 👉 College for lectures + library for the day - big deadline next week so the head is down 🤓 BUT I am VERY excited for a work break for my FIRST Reformer Pilates class tomorrow on the opening day of @reformation.ie ! Have an awesome day 😘 #fridayfeeling #healthyeating #buddhabowl #lunchideas #mealprep
