Have a great week Guys

So guys this week Try out a new healthy recipe.

A couple weeks ago, I tried out the Body Coach Sweet Potato cottage pie. It was scrummy so have made it again this week. 

Eating healthy does not mean just salads, especially in winter, we want lovely warming foods. Aiming to eat as whole foods as possible. 

if it flew in the sky, grew in the ground, runs across land or swims in the sea, then then it’s a pretty good bet, it’s the healthiest option 😄. 

The Body Coach and Clean Eating Alice are brilliant to follow on Instagram as they both post tons of healthy meal ideas that are super simple and quick to make. 

 

Do do let me know how you get on and tag me in your food creations this week on Instagram- @littlemisfitjojo.

 

have a great day

This weeks challenge is to schedule in at least 30 minutes each day just for you!.  You can get a workout in and or It can be the time before bed  – take a bubble bath,  curl up with a cup of your favourite herbal tea and your book, or watch an episode of a favourite TV show.  If you are really pushed for time maybe even  2 x 15 minute segments in the day just to sit and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee without interruption – indeed a true luxury in itself!.

I don’t know about you, but January is  whizzing by in a total whirlwind.  I really am trying hard to slow down but honestly I find myself signing up for all sorts so the diary is getting fuller and fuller. A lot of work projects   and quite a bit  of play time  but not so much rest time scheduled in – oops!.  So in a bid to slow things down a little and catch a breath and actually aim to be more productive  rather than just busy being busy ,  I have opted to make February a month of self care and love here at Mis-Fit HQ.   It is after all Valentines Month, so this year as well as showing Love to loved ones, why not also show a little Love towards yourself?. 

Stress and running yourself down manifests itself in us individually in different ways – for some its a bad back/neck pain as tension is stored in this area. for some you may suffer migraines/headaches or stomach upsets. For me , I tend to lose my voice  – frustrating for me ,though  rather peaceful for my friends and family haha.  Our bodies tend to send us signals but all too often we ignore them and carry on hurtling at a hundred miles per hour ,, and the end result is we don’t get enough sleep, eat properly and generally just run ourselves down. 

If you already feel caught up in the whirlwind of the New year and want to join me in slowing down a little  :-  Drop me an email to info@littlemis-fit.co.uk with the subject line – February self Love and I’ll add you to the email list. Throughout February you’ll receive daily emails with workouts, healthy reciepes and weekly mini challenges  to just help you carve out a little you time in your day to care of yourself. Hopefully a couple will even become habits you can stick with throughout the year!.

Lets talk breakfasts. So Breakfast literally means Break the fast.  For many people  mornings can be a little hectic and too often we  reach for cereal which are loaded with sugar . below are a few quick, simple healthier breakfast options – a few of can even be prepped the night before, to save you  precious time the next next morning. who said eating healthy meant starving yourself!  . so step away from the cereal and 

1. Overnight Oats 

100g of Rolled oats , 75g of FULL FAT Greek or natural yoghurt.  and 250ml of almond milk . mix together, cover and leave in the fridge overnight, the next morning just add your favourite berries and hey presto breakfast is all ready for you to eat . There are a ton of ideas on Pintrest for overnight oats so go check them out and create your own favourite. 

2. Garden fry up  – Boil up a couple eggs, throw some Spinach, Mushrooms and tomatoes in a little coconut Oil and voila   – This one I got from the Deliciously Ella Book

3.Eggs, Eggs , Eggs  –   How do you like your eggs in the morning  ( hands up if you just sang that  line heehee! )   Boiled, poached, dippy , scrambled  – go for it. eggs are a great source of protein and  brilliant for keeping you  filled up until lunch – feeling lavish add in some smoked salmon 

these Mini Frittatas are brilliant for pre cooking and will store in the fridge for about 3 days , making them a great healthy choice for those super busy mornings if they last that long – in our house , they disappear as fast as I make them!!! 

Mini Frittatas with tomato and Rocket , you can pretty much add in anything really – mushrooms , lean ham, chicken, feta cheese. 

Prep time 15mins
Cooking time 20 mins

These could be eaten cold or warm , so again could be made the night before or a day when you have a little extra time

(serves 6)

1 tbsp extra Virgin olive oil
1 onion chopped
6 eggs
3 tbsp almond milk (otherwise I just use normal milk )
6 cherry tomatoes – quarted
1 handful of rocket or spinach leaves – chopped

1. Preheat oven to 175/gas mark 4. Grease a 6 hole giant muffin tray
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion over a low heat until caramilsed
3. In a bowl whisk the eggs and milk together, then stir in the tomatoes,rocket and onion. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper
4. Divde the mixture among the muffin tin and bake for approx 20mins or until they set. Allow to cool a little before removing them from the tin.

4.Fruit and Yogurt   – Probably my most go to breakfast . I use Yeo Valley  Full fat  natutral yogurt. (Low fat/0%fat  are a big no no for me – the fat is removed and replaced instead with things like sugar to try and improve the taste post fat removal making it a lot worse for you than if they left the Fat in. We need good fats in order to burn fat plus its good for our skin – hello J-LO glow!) . I recently discovered the huge bags of Frozen berries in Tesco – £2  for a huge bag approx $2.50 . they last me a good week and as the berries have been frozen they hold the nutrients much longer – more antioxidants  for me yipppeee.  I defrost a few in a bowl in the fridge overnight. I then add them to my yoghurt the  next morning and I also add in a teaspoon of seeds – pumpkin and chia . 

5. Stir Fry  – sounds more like a lunch  or dinner option  but there are no rules to say it can’t be a breakfast option! .  take some steak or chicken or turkey and fry it up with some spinach/kale , mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes  – any of your fave veggies and enjoy! 

Do let me know if you try any of these or if you have your own breakfast favourite!
