TOO GOOD / Not to repost. This weekend was all round pretty great, but the highlight by far was seeing my youngest niece absolutely shine as the Round 22 Nominee for the 2017 NAB Auskicker of the year. Happy to admit she possibly knows the song even better than I do!
CHIA GOODNESS / The perfect afternoon snack. Rich in healthy omega 3 fatty acids, chia seeds will help keep you feeling super satisfied.

FODMAP / Are you sick of experiencing stomach cramps, feeling bloated or any number of other horrible IBS related symptoms? Often IBS is triggered by a group of fermentable carbohydrates called FODMAPS. Every individual has different thresholds which is the confusing and frustrating thing, and it is often so much more than just 'gluten'.

OATS / Do you need some breakfast inspo? If so, head over to the blog section on my website to listen to my chat with @deborah_knight & @chefdanielaus on #Betterliving where we talk all things Oats. For me, these cost effective, nutritious, delicious and versatile whole grains are at the top of my list of foods you should be eating (and regularly). 📸 Breakfast featuring - rolled oats, cooked with milk, water & cinnamon and then topped with @chobaniau Greek yoghurt, walnuts, blueberries, blackberries & a drizzle of maple syrup.
MONDAY MANTRA / Who doesn't love a little bit of inspo on a Monday morning? Dream big, achieve big 💫
WEEKEND / Well spent 💫 @angelakhoudair
