Blueberry, natural yoghurt, honey and flaked almonds

I love this dessert, I was once served it by a Turkish friend of mine. 

This is great if you fancy something sweet and healthy. It's also full of all sorts of antioxidants and nutrients.

Method 

In a small pan dry fry flaked 

almonds 

In a bowl place some blueberries, natural yoghurt, a swirl of natural honey and top with flaked almonds 

Salmon, salad and griddled courgettes

I've been to the gym today in my pursuit of a beach body, and when I get home I want something healthy, filling and quick.

On the way back from the gym I bought 2 salmon steaks which come with watercress sauce, avocados, courgettes, and a bag of salad leaves.

First trim and cut courgettes in half, thinly slice, throw in a bowl with a little olive oil and a sprinkling of Italian seasoning or some pepper and chilli flakes would work just as well. 

Griddle until chargrilled.

You can cook the salmon a number of ways, grill oven or I cooked  in a small frying pan as I like a crispy skin.

I served with a green salad and some steamed rice

Mackerel, spinach and aubergine risotto

I've been reading a nutrition book recently and it says you should have 3 portions of oily fish per week, which is far more than what we do at home, so we're trying to eat more.

Method

• Place mackerel fillets on a baking tray and cook under the grill until brown
• Griddle aubergine slices
• Place mixed vegetable such as red/yellow peppers, red onion, aubergine, courgette, in a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil, place in oven for 40 minutes 
• Cook risotto rice
• When rice is al dente, add in cooked mix veg

Quick and Easy Tuna & Cous Cous Salad

I've been up since 7 with the baby, dropped her off at nursery and then took the toddler to messy play. It's now lunch time and I'm very hungry. Problem is I've just joined a gym to get beach ready, and I've got my induction at 2.30 today, so can't be eating rubbish beforehand.

I raided the fridge and made this, I think it's healthy!

Ingredients

• A little bit of Cous Cous as it only takes a couple of minutes to do.
• Chestnut mushrooms cooked in a tiny bit of something, we use soya spread
• Spinach
• Salad leaves
• Cucumber  
• Half a tin of tuna
• A drizzle of olive oil
• A squeeze of lemon juice

And I served it with a popodom. I know that sounds a bit strange but other than the fact I love popodoms it's great to pick up the Cous Cous.
