You may notice...

So, something that will pop up ALOT on my blog is Total 0% Greek yogurt...
The reason I choose this brand is because as well as being no fat, it also only contains 4g of carbohydrate per 100g, so it's pretty much like having a protein shake...
And all that whilst tasting AMAZING and creamy! :-)
I eat it for breakfast and constantly think up new toppings (warm blueberries is a general fave), I have it as an after workout snack with banana, and I also have it with dry fried mushrooms and black pepper to make an awesome steak sauce!
Oh, it is also GREAT as a sub for sour cream in things such as fajitas, baking recipes etc...

Anyhow, my breakfast this morning... (pic attached)

- 500g tub of Total 0% Greek yogurt (yes the WHOLE, big tub)
- 1 1/2 cups of FROZEN blueberries
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon

1. Put your blueberries and cinnamon in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for approx 2 mins, sometimes takes an extra 30 seconds...
2. Pour onto your tub of 0% and really ENJOY!!!

And it really is THAT simple. NO excuses people, it takes me literally 3 mins to make in a morning, and that 3 mins is my coffee being made...
It's super easy for kids too, just make sure to buy full fat Greek yogurt for them, and if it's breakfast add some cereals for them!

Workout for mums with babies...

 
Good morning blogger world...
So, being an avid pinner, I quite often spend my early mornings/late evenings browsing the fitness section of Pinterest for great new ideas to keep my workouts and diets interesting.
I am a person who gets bored VERY fast, so if I don't keep myself trying new things, I just don't do!
 
Anyway, I found this link to Self magazine's website, providing a GREAT, crossfit inspired workout for mums with babies...The excercises featured are designed for you to be able to do with your LO in a pushchair/stroller, so no excuses!
 
I don't like to say these workouts are for 'new mums', as anyone who has recently given birth knows, as a 'new mum' there are a few very important things to remember...
1. You MUST take it easy for at least 6 weeks after birth, longer if you had a C-Section...
2. Unless you're a frigging robot, you feel like if you so much as cough, your insides are going to fall out through your arse...
3. You have to gradually work yourself back into fitness, gently! Unless you have been working out throughout your pregnancy and know what you're doing, then please please don't over do it. It's FAR more important to be able to function for your new bub in those first weeks, so NO OVERDOING IT!!
 
Anyway guys, here's the link!
 
 
Enjoy!!
