WHAT I EAT IN A DAY #2

Back in December I posted my first ever ‘what I eat in a day.’ Over two months later I’m finally getting round to putting together another. My apologies if you were looking forward to this mini-series. My only excuse is that I’ve had a lot of other things that I’ve wanted to talk about and felt that my daily consumption of food could wait.

Breakfast

Weetabix with banana & honey

If I’m not eating porridge for breakfast, I’m most likely eating Weetabix. Most people may find this a rather bland cereal to eat, but like with porridge, I love it for the fact that you can be really creative with your toppings. The banana & Weetabix combo is simple but a favourite, however I decided to change it up a bit by adding some honey. I have to admit that before this week I had never tried honey before. I’ve had honey flavoured things but not pure honey. I bought some last week as I was making Ella Woodward’s (Deliciously Ella) sweet potato pancakes so I have an almost full bottle to get through! Good thing I’m enjoying it. This was devoured alongside my morning coffee.

10 PORRIDGE TOPPERS

This week marks National Breakfast Week! Yes, from the 24th to the 30th January, we are celebrating all things cereal and toast. To show my own appreciation to this under-the-radar celebration, I’m going to be sharing 10 ways to spruce up your porridge.

1) BANANA & ALMOND

This is one of my own go-to porridge combos. The banana makes a great natural sweetener and you can even mash half of it into the porridge. The almonds give it some added crunch.

SOURCED BOX | JANUARY REVIEW

If I could live my life just eating breakfast foods and snacks I totally would. I’ve always been a snacker. Probably something to do with having ‘snack time’ ingrained in me from a young age – 10am & 3pm. I may not follow these rigid snack rules now, but you can still catch me snacking throughout the day, especially between lunch & dinner. This year my love for snacking and healthy food has combined. The result: Sourced Box.

HEALTHY SNACKS FOR 2016

Something that I have a huge interest in, yet don’t actually talk much about, is healthy eating. 9 times out of 10 I would much prefer to be snacking on a nakd. bar or rice cakes with almond butter. That’s not to say that I completely dismiss a packet of crisps or a chocolate bar, but I can easily go without these indulgences for a good few weeks.

What I Eat In A Day #1

Some of my favourite blog posts and YouTube videos are those where we are shown what that person has eaten in a day. It seems pointless with no real purpose – unless these videos are targeted at ‘clean eating’ or a certain diet – but I still find them entertaining nonetheless. So, I thought I would start a little series here on my blog about what I eat on a normal day and despite what I said above I feel as if these posts can serve of some purpose.
