Fish with Plum & Herb Salad
Someone once said to me, "wow, you're a nutritionist and you don't love to cook?". 100%!! It surprises some people that not all nutritionists are recipe creators, chefs, and love to spend every spare moment in the kitchen. If I'm honest I'd rather be out trail running. I'm lucky enough to have a partner who loves to cook and is bloody amazing at it - yep I know, scored on that one.

If you are seeking a carbohydrate-free mix you can use stevia as a sweetener, however, keep in mind this will not provide energy.Can add 100mg magnesium citrate/bisglycinate to the mix.Not a maple syrup fan? Swap for honey or 60g glucose. ...

It's not even cool weather, but I had a hankering for a bowl of porridge this morning and I was after a protein hit post-training so here was the protein peach porridge.

Ingredients 40g vanilla protein powder1/2 cup rolled oats1/4 tsp cinnamon1/2 small apple (grated)Fresh peach1/4 cup coconut yoghurt Instructions Mix the oats, grated apple and cinnamon with 3/4-1 cup of water (this will depend on how thick you like your oats!Bring to the boil, add protein powder and simmer with the lid on until cooked.Serve with sliced fresh peach and coconut ...
