    ¼ cup of almonds

    ¼ cup almond butter

    ¼ cup of maple syrup / honey

    ¼ cup of matcha

    METHOD

    1) Place the almonds in a food processor until the almonds become a floury consistency

    2) Add all of the other ingredients to the food processor bar the desiccated coconut and blend until the mixture becomes a thick, sticky mix you can roll into small balls

    3) Once the mixture is ready, roll the mixture in to small balls and then roll each ball in the desiccated coconut.

    250 grams of all purpose flour

    1 tsp of baking soda

    1 pinch of sea salt

    60 grams cacao powder

    4) Pour the mixture into the lined tin. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until cooked through but still a little fudgy in the middle. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack, before cutting into brownies.

  • Apple and Coconut 'Overnight Oats'

  • Blueberry Smoothie

    This recipe makes eough for 3 smoothies so you could make 7 portions of this recipe and freeze them in different containers, puling them out the evening before to de-frost or make around 3/4 portions to keep in the fridge then make a fresh batch when needed.

    handful of spinach frozen if possible

  • Butternut Squash Salad

    You may need to make another batch of this mid-week if you plan to have this as your lunch through-out the week. You can either decide to mix the salads and have both for lunch or just focus on one salad for one day and another for another.

    1 butternut squash

    1 tsp of olive oil

    ¼ tsp of cumin

    ¼ tsp of coriander

    ¼ tsp of cinnamon

    ¼ tsp of cayenne

    6 cups of mixed leaf salad

    1 cup of feta or vegan greek cheese

    2 medjool dates

    ¼ cup of pomegranate seeds

    METHOD

    1) Preheat the oven to 200°c and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the butternut squash cubes on the sheet and drizzle with olive oil and pinches of sea salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread evenly on the baking sheet. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender and browned around the edges.

    2) In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cayenne. Set aside.

    3) Remove the butternut squash from the oven, let cool slightly, and, while warm, toss with the spice mixture.

    4) Assemble the salad with the spring mix greens and half of the roasted squash. Drizzle with more olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, feta, dates and pomegranates.

  • Lentil Tabbuleh

    You may need to make another batch of this mid-week if you plan to have this as your lunch through-out the week. You can either decide to mix the salads and have both for lunch or just focus on one salad for one day and another for another.

    1 1/2 cups of lentils

    4 cups of water

    4 tomatoes

Bilingual 7-day nourishment schedule in Welsh and English, featuring activities like water & lemon, barre class, smoothies, breakfast with overnight oats, matcha latte, salad lunch, matcha energy balls snack, and rose brownie dessert.

NUTRITION + MOVEMENT.

I want to enjoy the following schedule as much as possible and nothing should feel overwhelming or stressful, so with that in mind adjust the following schedule as needed so it works for you and your lifestyle!

However, some of the schedule has been create to help you feel your ultimate best such as water and lemon, smoothie and Barre class each morning. This sets a solid foundation for the day ahead and leaves you feeling happy, energised and proud of yourself, however if it’s not possible to fit all these things in each morning, please don’t worry!

You can practice the class whenever suits you but I would leave the brownie as an evening treat rather than having it after lunch and instead enjoy the energy balls after your lunch.

You’re more than welcome to get in touch if you have any questions or to share feedback - my e-mail is ceri@saib.yoga.

Enjoy and I’m already so proud of you!!
