Meal prep Sunday's

If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail, if you set one day or one afternoon to prepping your food for the week you will find you stay on plan!

If you can get a slow cooker and a big pan then all you have to do is pop it all in the pan and make big batches of meals.

My favourite meals to batch cook is:

Bolognese 

Curry

Lasagne

Chilli

Fajitas

Risotto 

Spanish stew

You can buy slow cooker books and as long as you have basic ingredients in the cupboard then you are all set for prepping clean healthy foods for you and your family

Pancakes

This morning I really fancied pancakes, I have such a sweet tooth for breakfast, I would happily choose pancakes, waffles over a cooked breakfast any day, however traditional sweet breakfasts are actually worse than you than a 'fry up' due to the fat and suave and all the extra toppings that you choose

Here is the recipe that I used, I made it up but the pancakes turned out lovely

1 egg white

2 whole eggs

A splash of coconut milk

A quarter cup of coconut flour 

Make sure you cook them small to flip them over as they are thinner than normal

To make the sauce

A scoop protein powder

Splash of coconut milk

Top it off with blueberries and pear
