PB&J pancakes for the ultimate comfort food 👅👅 I have so many camera angles from these bad boys that I just HAVE to share 😂 I’m not working my usual Saturday shift today, so I partied last night and plan to chill all day 🙌🏼 Can not wait to gym, eat and sleep! Pancake Recipe: 1 cup of oats (ground). 1 banana. 1 cup of plantbased milk. PB2 and cinnamon to go in the batter. Blend it all up, cook and top with coyo, berry compote, banana and peanut butter 👌🏼

Yesterday’s lunch at @theannexcafe 💕 50/50 salad bowl, perfect way to get my veggies and enjoy a lunch date with friends 🌱 • So I’ve decided to really cleanse/detox myself in these next few weeks. I feel like I’ve neglected vegetables for too long during exam season, so I’m definitely going to make more of a conscious effort to get more greens into my day! My antibiotics have got my skin and gut all out of whack, so I’m really going to put emphasis on gut health too, in order to feel my absolute best 💕 I’m not cutting out anything (because what is life without #treatz), but I’m just making more of an effort with my meals and that 2 + 5 a day 👌🏼 I’ve also realised that I’ve been stuck in my head a little bit lately, so I’m going to find some new books, incorporate more stretching/yoga/breathing into my routine and spend more time outside + in nature ☀️ What intentions are you guys setting for the week? xx (at The Annex Cafe)

Leftovers salad for lunch 🌱 ((followed by a million snacks bc my appetite is BACK)). Don’t ever tell me that there is ‘nothing in the fridge’, because my specialty is making something out of nothing 💪🏽 I love the challenge of making a meal from random ingredients! Today we had: • the bottom of a spinach bag. • no rice/potatoes = quinoa. • half a broccoli stalk. • carrots. • literally TWO Brussel sprouts. • frozen corn. • leftover lentils. • and of course, nutritional yeast! Salads are the PERFECT way to use up the last of the veggies or leftovers in the fridge. It minimises food waste and always leads to a yummy concoction 🌱 It’s all about that experimentation fam.

2014 >>> 2017. It genuinely makes me giggle when I think about what used to rule my world back in 2014. I was consumed by thoughts of food and weight. I planned my whole life around what and when I was eating. I counted my almonds and weighed my oats in the morning. I put every tiny detail into myfitnesspal (God, the day I deleted that fucking app was the best day of my LIFE). I remember starving myself on that particular day to look good in my size 4 dress… I’m such a WORLD away from that mentality, and I’m genuinely so happy with life right now. I’m back to my giggly, adventurous self - and FUCK I’m glad about it. I’ve never felt so damn alive. I write this in the hopes of inspiring those who are struggling to push through and keep moving forward. Getting over the bumps in recovery is so worth it. Ask anyone who is on this side, it’s WORTH IT.

Taking a well earned rest day today and snacking on my new fave combo 👌🏼 Thick rice cakes, smashed pumpkin + chickpeas, cucumber and nooch 🌱Followed my PB and banana 🙈 Finished a whole packet of rice cakes in 2 days with these combos…something about the textures gets me 🙌🏼

Peanut Tofu Stirfry for tonight’s picnic ☀️ I have a major confession guys…this is the first time I’ve ever cooked tofu 🙊🙈 I’m a big textures girl, so I’ve always found tofu to be one of those foods that I’m constantly iffy about 😂 But I decided to give it another try, and it’s actually pretty good if you get the flavours right! I see many more tofu experiments happening in the near future 💪🏽 Happy Sunday folks xx

@the_lost_deli 😍 Burgers. Curries. Pastries. Pastas. Pancakes. Good hearty vegan food. What a time to be ALIVE. Can not recommend this place enough 👌🏼 If you’re in Adelaide, you’ve got to make your way through the menu. Today I woke up with swollen tonsils (again) and am not too happy about having tonsillitis for the 8th time in 3 months 😂 Have my specialist appointment with a surgeon tomorrow and am hoping they can fix me up before life gets crazy (crazier?) again 💃🏾💪🏽📖 In the meantime, I’ll eat my puréed food and daydream about my next lunch date 💕 (at The Lost Deli)

Burrito bowl w/ brown rice, lentils, vegan chilli, spinach, avo and nutritional yeast (which was continually added through the meal bc NOOCH amiright). Soz to disappoint the vegan community, but avocado isn’t exactly my fave thing in the world. Something about the texture and taste just doesn’t sit well with me 😂 BUT they were cheap this week, and I decided to branch out and mix things up, so I’ve been slowly incorporating little amounts into my meals. Personally, I’ve found that the extra fats in my diet (hello PB addiction) has me feeling lean and lifting heavy 💪🏽🌱 I’m all about that plant power.
