Delicious Mango Smoothie Recipe

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

We are so excited that Summer is on it’s way and it’s almost time for all of the delicious summer fruits like MANGOS to become in season again!

The last week every day we have been whipping up one of these delicious mango smoothies every afternoon and we had to share this recipe with you.

As always, have fun and experiment with your recipes and you can change to suit your own requirements:

YOU WILL NEED:

1-2 Frozen Bananas

Cup or so of Frozen Mango

2 Scoops Purest on the Planet ‘Natural’ Flavour Protein

Tray of Ice

Water

Honey to taste

WHAT TO DO:

Put it all in the blender, (make sure you use a high powered blender to make it smooth and creamy, we use a Vitamix) only fill the water to just below the top of the mix to make sure it’s nice and thick and creamy and not too watery. (TIP: Add the honey while it is blending to make sure it mixes in smoothly and doesn’t stick to the sides of the blender).

ENJOY!!

We are excited to see you all who are joining our SPRING SUMMER BOOT CAMP and YOGA starting back next week!!

Boot Camp is pretty much totally booked out and we are just finalising the LAST PLACES for Yoga, so if you haven’t booked your place yet or you have a friend or family member who has been thinking about joining us, now is the absolute last chance before registration closes tomorrow!

Have a wonderful weekend,

3 Tips For Staying On Track To Achieving Your Goals By The End Of The Year

3 TIPS FOR STAYING ON TRACK TO ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS BY THE END OF THE YEAR:

When September rolls around each year many are often scratching their heads saying “Where has this year gone?” and realising that the year is almost over. We have exactly 16 weeks left of 2017, so how do you make the most of the end of the year to stay motivated and achieve those goals or new years resolutions you set back in January?

1. Meal Prep is Key — Preparing for the week ahead is so important to make sure you stay on track. Many people become unstuck throughout the week as they become so busy with work and family commitments and their nutrition comes in last on the priority list. Make it easy for yourself by planning out your meals and snacks ahead of time so that during the week that part of your life can flow on ‘auto-pilot’ and be one less thing you need to worry about. Stay tuned for more tips in the coming weeks on Meal Prep as it is one of the keys to getting results.

2. Keep Your Workouts Achievable — We need to be realistic when planning out our weekly workouts to prevent burnout and fatigue. You may have all of the best intentions of training 5 days a week, when in reality you may only need to do your daily morning activations and train at the right intensity twice per week and maintain your nutrition. There is nothing worse then the feeling of not achieving your goals, so make sure you are realistic when planning out your sessions. We have had many clients over the years get better results in 2 sessions per week with us, then they were getting for years by training 5-6 days per week by themselves at the gym. (Or feeling guilty 5-6 days per week for doing nothing and/or paying for gym memberships they weren’t even using! 😉

3. Train for a healthy mind as much as a healthy body — So many of our clients particularly at Boot Camp say that they enjoy it as much for their mind as they do for their body, and that the weekly sessions become an integral part of their mental health “stress relief” for the week. We personally also train as much (if not, more!) for the benefits to our mind as well as keeping our body fit. When you train, you are not only healthier, but you are happier and when you make this connection, you enjoy training so much more and look forward to it each week.

A big congratulations to all who have finished our 12 Week Winter Boot Camp last week – Winter is always the hardest time to stay motivated and has been a challenge for many to stay consistent. The great news is that now you will be leaps and bounds ahead, powering into summer with the results and momentum you have gained.

We hope that you have an amazing week and always remember we are here for you to help you so let us know if you need any extra help, motivation or support.

Our Cornubia Spring / Summer Boot Camp and Yoga are already over half full and are booking out fast – the Early Bird Special finishes this week Friday 15th September, so if you haven’t reserved your spot yet and have been thinking about joining us, get in touch now so that you don’t miss out.

Most great fruits like watermelon are in season through summer, so make the most of them with this simple rocket salad with watermelon or your favorite fruit, almonds and grilled haloumi.

Ingredients

120g haloumi cheese, sliced into 1cm-thick pieces
250g fresh rocket leaves
1 cup of fresh fruit (mango, watermelon etc)
½ cup almonds, chopped
2 individual shallots, peeled, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning

Instructions
Place oil in a fry pan over medium-high heat. Cook the haloumi for 1-2 minutes each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and slice each piece into three. Cover haloumi with foil and keep warm.

Place the rocket, sliced fruit, almonds and shallots in a large bowl. Add haloumi and gently mix the salad together. Drizzle dressing and Cajun seasoning over the salad and season to taste with salt and pepper.
