Not another boring brekkieI am forever being asked about breakfast options. When I have clients looking for slightly lower carb breakfast options and want to increase satiety, I will suggest they up their protein and healthy fats. With all the new found freedoms people have been experiencing, this recipe also works well if you have had a couple of wines too many during your fond reunions.Since I am here to help (not judge) here's something you can prep in advance my Smoked Paprika Baked Cauliflower with Pomegranates and Avo smash (cause Melbourne!).This brekkie also contains approx 8 grains of protein so if you add a couple of eggs you have a high protein breakfast to die for! If vegan opt for nut cheese and felafels would be a great addition to boost protein.Makes 4 serves.Ingredients:- 1 whole caulflower- 1 pomegranate (blue berries or other tart fruit would also work)- 1/2 preserved lemon (diced) or capers or olives- 1 whole soft avo- 80gms feta- Juice of half a lemon- sleeve of flat parsley chopped- 1 tsp cumin seed- 1 tsp smoked paprika- coconut oil spray- salt and pepper to taste1. Prep the cauli- Chop or rice a whole cauliflower (or buy pre-chopped)- Blanch with hot kettle water (literally pour over in a colander)- Dry on paper towel.- Spray with a little coconut oil and on a roasting pan on over-proof paper (or in an air fryer).- Dust with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1tsp cumin and s&p to taste.- Roast about 10-15 mins on a high temperature (200 degrees) or until golden.2. Smash the smash- Combine 1 soft avocado, 80gm of soft feta and 1/2 a lemon juice, stir or blend until smooth3. Plate or put in containers- Add your cauli first then mix in the arils of a pomegranate (of a pre-seeded box of arils), and 1/2 a preserved lemon chopped up- Sprinkle with S&P and a handful of flat parsley per serveMacros: with 2 eggs this meal comes in at roughly 297 calories19 gms Protein16.5 gms of fat13.5 gms carbs
Making Change
Be brave.Heading back into the gym this week may seem a little daunting.You may not look the same physically as you used to.You may not feel the same mentally as you used to.You may not move as well as you used to.Be humble.You may not be able to lift as much as you used to.Or push as hard. Be better.It’s better to start now while the safety measures are strict and the gyms are capped so they’re quiet. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll reap the benefits.Have patience, leave your expectations at the door and enjoy training again in the open space with equipment you may not have used in months.Work on establishing those healthy routines and habits once more. Consistency is the key to making long term change. Above all be proud of yourself, it’s been a tough year and you are doing this for you. Don’t forget that and let your fears and anxieties stop you from working on the new improved you!#bebrave #behumble #bebetter #workout #gym #fitness #health #selfimprovement #strong #justlift #train #work #strength #selfcare #selfesteem #mentalhealth #prestonpt #southmelbournept #melbournept #wereback #strongerthanyouthink
