Snack and meal ideas

It's now been just under two weeks since I started bootcamp and I'm defo getting better at it.  Still a challenge with some of the workouts but I'm more than willing to push myself more than ever. The healthy eating has been going well too and the family are loving it!!  It's so amazing what you can achieve with just a few small changes to your diet. 

I really thought I'd miss most of my previous ways of cooking but nothing! Not even a little bit.  I've become a little obsessed with avocado and yogurt to be honest, they seem to go with everything i.e. salads, spreads, desserts etc...I've been trying to get creative with absolutely everything I prepare and so far so good.  I'm also learning that PREPARATION IS EVERYTHING!!  Once I have my menu and meals set for the day, I prep everything and make sure it's ready for cooking either in the evening or for my post-workout meal.  I try to use things that are quick to cook like sweet potato, pak choi though the long grain brown rice takes foreeeeeevver to soften lol.  I also use foods that can be eaten raw like peppers, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, garlic etc. The meals are also incredibly quick to cook or put together if no cooking requires, anything from 10-20 mins.

It's all fun and I'm definitely interested in learning how to cook more healthy meals.  Protein shakes and fruit are fast becoming my favorites for breakfast and the Soya milk is working wonders too.

I've also started a few challenges on Instagram by @fitspobook and @fitspobod.  If anyone is willing to give them a try then let me know how it's going.  I'll post the pictures up and you can give them a go.  Follow me on Instagram @lilcherub3 as I have tons of pictures showcasing my new healthy chef skills >.<

I'll leave you with some snack and meal ideas I've been munching on over the past week.  Enjoy and remember : "THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM TO DO AND BE BETTER" xxxxx

Just munched on these little goodies as I was blogging

Brown rice with carrots and beans (englishman's jollof rice lol), skinless chicken thighs with mixed peppers and pak choi with garlic

Great snack or post workout meal.  Have only one slice it you're going to have it as a snack.  Spread1: Tuna with raisins and yogurt.  Spread2: Salmon, avocado and yogurt

Omlette with smoked salmon and peppers + watercress and yogurt

Great for breakfast/pre-workout meal with a glass of water or juice

Perfect pre-workout munch!!



My fajitas are the best!! chicken breast, red cabbage, lettuce, red peppers, onions and yogurt



This salad is just the best ever!!  Slowly becoming my fav.  Boiled sweet potato, avocado, mackerel, carrot and yogurt

Grilled seabass and sweet potato chips (grilled also) with pack choi and garlic

The vampires made me do it!!! lol...Blood oranges freshly squeezed with a dash of lime.  I only used the lime because it looked quite lonely sitting in the fridge all by itself, haha!!
