Broccoli 🥦 Soup. We all love this soup in this house. Last year teacher sent a little questionnaire asking the kids what is their favourite food and One of my boys said broccoli soup 😂 Anyway I also add peas because they so healthy for kids and adults they are high in protein, contain vitamin C, antioxidants, fibre, you name it! Ingredients: 2 medium broccoli heads 1 onion 3/4 cup frozen green peas Handful of spinach 500ml vegetable stock Handful of parsley Sea salt and pepper Pinch of chilli flakes (optional) 1. Sauté onion 2. Add broccoli and sauté with onion for 5 minutes 3. Add stock and bring it to the boil 4. Once boiling add spinach, peas and parsley 5. Bring down the heat to lowest setting, put lid on and cook for 15-20 minutes or until broccoli is tender 6. Serve and garnish with chilli flakes, more parsley or parmesan cheese NOTE: For this recipe today I boiled everything first then took out A few portions for baby girl then added the stock cube to the rest. This is because babies a better off without the salt of the stock for at least the first year of life ♥️

This green couscous is the perfect idea to get your greens in in a very tasty way. I used the broccoli rice from Green Isle to mix in withe couscous which gives you a perfect balance with the carbohydrates on the couscous. This broccoli rice is so versatile and ideal to have as a side dish on any meal! You won’t regret trying it! (Also ideal to hide in different dishes for fussy kids) go to blog to check recipe for this delicious Moroccan Style salad #greenisle #ad #getthegoodness #healthyeating #healthymeals (Please note recipe contains nuts and dairy is optional)

1. Never compensate over eating by not eating 2. Plan your meals and buy foods accordingly 3. Lots and lots of water! For hydration, for a nice skin, to flush toxins, etc! 4. Make vegetables the main bulk of your meals but don’t avoid any macro nutrients on each meal! You need them! (Proteins, carbs and fats) 5. Exercise 3x a week! And enjoy it it’s not a punishment do an activity that makes you feel good. Lifting weights in a gym its not the end all! There’s lot more you could do! 6. Get in the zone slowly. Don’t try to be super healthy and a gym bunny in the same week! You might feel too much pressure from it. Baby steps! 7. Have a list of healthy snacks you can reach for when you feel hungry 8. Some meal prep is essential specially if you are busy! Dishes you can freeze are amazing for when you are having an extra busy day! 9. Stress levels sometimes are out of our hand but if there’s anyone or anything that is robbing your peace kick them out of your life! Stress is one of the main sabotages for a weight loss! 10. Sleeping is so important I know some mammies just can’t sleep because baby isn’t sleeping. I have been there and there’s not much you can do apart from being kind to yourself and don’t put any pressure on yourself. It might take you a little longer to have the energy to do all this but you will get there! 11. Cheatmeals! They keep me sane and keep me make look forward to them every weekend! One or two bad meals wont ruin any progress. If you think about it you eat 3x a day by7 days of the week thats 21 meals. 1 or 2 bad meals are totally ok! Enjoy them and never feel guilty . This are my 11 tips to get you started get in the zone! Hope they help! Recipe content will start next week as soon as I do my weekly shopping 🛒 I’ve no food in the house 🏠

With so many beautiful and genetically blessed ladies pregnant on Instagram I feel at times I’m the only one who is struggling with a belly, weight loss etc but I know there’s lots of us feeling the same way! so I felt I needed to post my current shape postpartum because it might help women out there who are also struggling to feel you are not alone. If you want me to document my weight loss please let me know as i recently saw in another page people doesn’t wanna see any weight loss posts. So if you want I will only create content around recipes, exercises and motherhood rather than weight loss. Anyway, I’ve 20kg (3 stone 😱)to lose so I’ll slowly and healthily I will be working on that! So let me know if you’d like to see the process. . PS. if after all I went through on my pregnancy all am i left with is this extra kilos/ belly I take it anytime and 100x more! ♥️ my little lady is my absolute blessing! . PS2. I was mentally ready to go back to gym tonight but i have a blocked duct and I’m in so much pain 😭 please pray that it doesn’t turn into mastitis 😢🙏🏼
