Coconut Chocolate Protein Ice cream

By | Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Nutrition, Recipes, Uncategorized | No Comments

This recipe came about after we decided to put the Chocolate Mousse in the Freezer, and it is absolutely delicious!

Funnily we bumped into one of our clients who said they did the exact same thing, so it must be the natural evolution of this creation 🙂

You will need:

1 Whole Coconut (or tin of Coconut Cream)

Purest on the Planet Chocolate Protein Powder

Raw Cacao

Honey

Method

If you are using a fresh coconut, chop the top off, scoop out the coconut flesh and pour out the coconut water into the blender (we use a Vitamix). Blitz it all up into coconut cream (or just pour a tin of coconut cream into the blender).

Add equal parts Purest on the Planet Chocolate Protein Powder and Raw Cacao into the Coconut Cream and blend in the blender until combined and creamy thick consistency. (Example 3-4 Scoops of each).

Add honey and mix in to taste.

Pour into an ice cream container or alternatively into individual servings (such as freezer-proof ramekins) and pop in the freezer to set.

Enjoy!

You can serve with fresh berries or fruit or variation below:

Variation

Try putting some fresh raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or grapes in the bottom of the container as you pour over the ice cream mixture, and it tastes absolutely delicious once frozen!

Life is all about enjoyment and making things easier and when you have delicious recipes like this one up your sleeve, it becomes effortless to stay on track because you literally never feel like you are depriving yourself!

I was chatting to someone the other day who was saying it is so ‘hard’ to stay on track and how it was so ‘easy’ to eat the wrong foods – This is just a simple case of mindset, what could be easier than peeling a banana or chomping into an apple for a snack, or having a zip-lock bag of nuts handy when you are peckish?

It often comes down to the fact that we are bombarded with marketing campaigns designed to make us crave the ‘unhealthy’ foods, and these companies put all sorts of things and ingredients in these foods to find that ‘sweet spot’ that makes you crave and keep coming back for more.

But when you take your nutrition in to your own hands, and stick to the delicious foods Mother Nature has provided, you will not only notice a difference in your energy and vitality (not to mention weight loss!) but also a difference in your taste buds as you start to re-adjust.

If you are struggling with nutrition and looking for healthy alternatives that you actually enjoy we would love to help you more so make sure you send us a message or give us a call today!

 

Have a wonderful day and we will see you at training 🙂

Give Mum The Gift of ‘Me Time’

By | Inspiration, Lifestyle, Motivation, Personal Training, Pilates, Training, Uncategorized, Yoga | No Comments

Do you feel like you are always running around looking after everybody else; and you’re wondering  when it’s going to be ‘your turn’ to do something for yourself?

After training women of all ages over the past 10+ years, one of the most common themes we hear from women when booking in to come and see us is “I’m so glad to be finally doing something for myself!”

As women we are often really good at putting the needs of others as a priority, whether that is our kids, our partners, our businesses or our work, the household, or even the pets!

Yet it is so important to take time out to nurture and re-energise ourselves or else our own ‘well runs dry’ and we are easily left feeling completely exhausted and depleted from giving, giving, giving!!

One of the side effects from ‘over-giving’ is feeling snappy, resentful or even just simply lethargic and downright tired. Yet when we take time out to focus on ourselves and our needs, we feel re-energised, nurtured, cared for and happy, and then this happiness overflows into every area of our life and we are able to better serve those who we love and who need us most.

Is there a special woman in your life who you know can relate to this?

Or are you craving to ‘treat’ yourself, in order to be the best person you can be for those you love?

With Mother’s Day just around the corner it is the perfect time to focus on nurturing the women in our lives who do so much for us on a constant basis.

We have put together some amazing specials especially for Mum’s in conjunction with our ‘May Specials’ on our Yoga and Women’s Wellness Classes and Personal Training Packages, so to find out more or organise a Gift Voucher just in time for Mother’s Day this Sunday (or to simply treat yourself!) send us a message now and we will send you more details:
