Breakfast

What I eat: A green smoothie with ½ banana, ¼ avocado, a handful of kale and spinach, a serving of vanilla protein from Form Nutrition, ice and oat milk.
The time I eat it: 11 A.M.
How I make it or where I get it: I made it at home in my blender and took it with me to the office. I tend to have a really late breakfast, and a condensed eating window. I’m never hungry first thing and find I have far more energy if I push my first meal later into the day and eat my meals slightly closer together. This is the same premise as intermittent fasting but I have no hard rules with my diet, if I was starving first thing I’d inhale my smoothie right away!

Lunch

What I eat: A meal-prepped salad combo of kale Cobb salad and beet, carrot and quinoa salad.
The time I eat it: 2 P.M.
How I make it or where I get it: I do major food prep on Sundays, making about 4 big salads I can pick and choose from for lunches in the week. Today I had a combination of 2 recipes from the 28 Day Sculpt Plan – a yummy kale Cobb salad with hard boiled egg, black olives, tomato and cucumber. Alongside this I had a colorful quinoa salad with grated beetroot, carrot and pistachio.

Snack

What I eat: A handful of roasted chickpeas.
The time I eat it: 4 P.M.
How I make it or where I get it: I preheat the oven to 450 F and toss a can of chickpeas in a little olive oil, sea salt and garlic powder. Lay on a baking tray and bake for 30-40 minutes (tossing every 15) until crunchy and golden brown. I take a Tupperware full of these to the office at the beginning of the week so I have something healthy around.

Dinner

What I eat: Thai fishcakes with Siracha-coconut Sauce and Asian Cucumber Salad 
The time I eat it: 7 P.M.
How I make it or where I get it: It’s a recipe from the Naturally Sassy website. I’ve been obsessed with it for weeks now – anytime a recipe makes more than one meal, I’m happy. I’ve now got something else to add to my Tupperware lunches for the rest of the week. While these were baking I went on a quick run to release some stress and move after a day at the office.

Snack

What I eat: Frozen Blueberries
The time I eat it: 8 P.M.
How I make it or where I get it: I freeze fruit, mainly blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and bananas for smoothies. These are also my go-to when I have sweet cravings, sometimes I’ll blend them up into a sorbet but often I’ll just grab a handful to snack on.

Workout

Workout I did: The Wednesday workout mix from the Naturally Sassy online studio and app. The three workouts in the mix focused on arms, legs and abs: Beautiful Ballerina Arms, Royal Ballerina Leg Sculpt and Ab Sculpt. 
The time I do it: 7 A.M.

Overall thoughts

It was a busy day, but I was well prepared with foods to keep me energized. My workout was hard, but I re-fueled afterwards with a good balance of protein, fiber, fat and carbohydrates. I stayed hydrated and avoided my afternoon coffee urges by going for a power-walk outside instead.

What are other wellness activities or habits that make you feel like your best self?

Before I go to bed every night, I’ll spend 10-20 minutes doing the 6-weeks stretch program from Naturally Sassy. It’s not only great for my body after long days both working out and sitting at a desk, but it’s also such a wonderful way to switch off and focus back on my body and breath. This feels especially good after an Epsom salt bath and before an early night’s sleep.
