Broccoli Swallow - a healthier alternative to eba, starch, pounded yam & amala. 🥦🥦🥦 Ingredients ~~~~~ Broccoli, Semolina flour, & Cassava starch. ~~~~~~~~ This is my current go to for an alternative to the regular swallow. An added benefit is that you can store it in the fridge for use over the week. I tried to ways of heating it up, I used the hot water soak for five minutes and microwave for 90seconds. Both options worked okay, I did favour the microwave version just because it saved time. At first I was going to use just the semo but I wanted a starch like consistency so I added cassava starch and it made a lot of difference. If you don’t have semolina or starch, psyllium husk will have a similar effect. I need to order more Eforiro from Oyin 😍 ~~~~~~~~~ Do let me know if you try this, I have so many nutritional hacks, that’ll have you enjoying healthier versions of your favourite meals with simple swaps.

My go to salad dressing is #balsamicvinegar. I love that it’s light and doesn’t clash with the natural flavours in the salad. I do add a teaspoon of EVOO sometimes to give it an extra kick. ~ What’s your favourite salad dressing?

Ouchea doing the most 🤣 these feel great tho 💪🏾

Even if it’s just one person that embarks on a healthy lifestyle after reading this post, I’d be extremely happy. . Words can’t describe how fulfilled exercise makes me feel. It’s my therapist, my confidant, my motivation, my pick me up and more. Even if I didn’t see the physical benefits, for the mental benefits alone, I’d still maintain this lifestyle. . You don’t have to start with burpees or deadlifts, even if all you do is a 30 minute walk, you will feel better; even if all you do is an 15 minute circuit, you will feel better! Don’t take my word for it, try an active lifestyle. Your future self will thank you! . . . . N.B please consult your Doctor before you start

I try as much as possible to keep content on this account all about health and fitness and leave other topics for my second account @untypicalmej but today while driving something hit me... I’ve been single for 5 years now! I don’t say this as a negative but more as a positive. ~ I spent most of my life trying to fit into relationships that somewhere deep down, I knew were not going to work. I tried being what I thought other people wanted me to be. Over time, I’ve grown into myself and now, I try as much as possible to live my life on my terms. ~ It’s not that I haven’t had interested parties, I’m just more honest, straightforward and independent; that means I have no problem in letting someone know there’s no need to even try dating cos we have almost nothing in common. I don’t need a relationship to define me. Yes sometimes I do wish I had that shoulder to lean on but I’d rather lean on my pillow than be in something that’s not real. ~ I’d really love to have a conversation with other singletons ... what do you think about dating? How do you make time to date when the 24hours we have are not even enough? Where do you meet new people? Do you let people know on day one what you like and dislike or do you wait for date 50? My take is, if the information is going to be a deal breaker eventually then why not just say it in the beginning 🤷🏾‍♀️ ~ One thing I have come to learn is, being single isn’t something to be ashamed off. It’s very okay to be proudly single and just end the sentence at that. It’s okay to be single and not searching. It’s okay to be single because you want to focus on other things. Don’t feel pressured to get into something just for a title change, believe me - you’ll eventually long for the lonely nights; cause it’s much worse being lonely with someone next to you than being lonely by yourself 💕

Hating your body won’t make you thin and being thin won’t make you stop hating your body. Believe me, this quote is so true, I remember when I was a size 10 and I couldn’t stop finding faults all over my body, I was so hard on myself. I look back at those pictures now and wish I had a time machine to tell my old self that it was okay to love her body despite the folds. #TrainWithJamie #bodypositivepower #Exercise #curvy
