Smoothie: Vitamin-Packed Super Sweet Berry

May 22, 2017

Smoothies provide that instant solution to sugar cravings which I often get. When you're watching your weight and are wanting to limit your sugar intake, sugar cravings are really real! Especially when it comes to chocolate, my ultimate weakness. I have already created a solution to get my chocolate fix in a guilt-free way, check out my recipe for healthy chocolate brownies here. But with a busy week, you may not have the luxury of time to make and bake a batch of brownies. A smoothie provides a quick solution. I really didn't even think about what I was putting in this smoothie; I just threw in a load of things I already had in my house and hoped for the best!

Healthy Homemade Chinese-Style Curry

May 10, 2017

About a week ago, my boyfriend said he really wanted a Chinese takeaway but after the recent bank holiday weekend escapades, I said no. We had eaten far too many calories and saturated fat that weekend. Although I didn't regret it as we have been super healthy when it comes to food lately, I still didn't think we deserved it after being a little bit naughty that weekend. Chinese takeaways are certainly a comfort food, full of warm, gentle spices and flavours.

So to satisfy his craving, I made my own Chinese style chicken curry which is tonnes healthier and is just as tasty as the curry from your local Chinese. It is also so simple to make and uses ingredients I always have in the house. Plus it is super cheap in comparison to buying a takeaway!
