Got leftovers from the last few days of festivities? Consider your meal prep for the next few days practically sorted 🙂‍↕️🙌🏼

If there’s one thing I can’t tolerate, it’s food waste. But also grazing on random bits and bobs leftover doesn’t make anyone feel very good…So finding ways to up-cycle and use those leftovers in some new delicious and fuelling meals is one of my favourite things!

Here are some easy, fuelling and balanced, but definitely not boring ways to use up those Christmas leftovers, that’ll also keep you full and energised ⛽️🤍🎄

Cup is very full 🥰✨🎄

Whilst I can’t quite put a name on it, this feeling is something I will never ever take for granted for as long as I live.

For a good 10 years of my life, Christmas was hard and isolating. Food brought me so much stress and anxiety, and the tension this created meant we always ended up fighting.

I never felt like I could participate, and I would have rather just skipped Christmas so I could stick to my usual routine and safe foods where I felt in control…

That’s the reality of having an eating disorder. It ripples on to affect every part of your life, especially your relationships and connections with loved ones.

Food is fuel, but it’s SO much more than that, and recovery is so damn worth it 🫶🏼❤️‍🔥

Ahh the classic unsolicited comments on how much and what you’re eating. Don’t we just love it 🙄

Whilst they can sting and make you feel uncomfortable, friendly reminder that your food is no one else’s business, and these comments always stem from the person’s own insecurities around food.

Whilst you don’t owe anyone an explanation or justification on what you’re eating, and sometimes ignoring it and changing the topic is what’s easiest…I personally think the best way to handle it: make them feel awkward 🤪

A pause, ask them to repeat what they just said and calmly reply with one of these responses to make them think hard about what they just said and how unnecessary it was 🫣🫣🫣

Quite possibly one of my favourite deserts of all time 😮‍💨😍

Bonus points for being one of the easiest recipes to make ever, but makes the most rich, creamy and delicious vegan chocolate mousse that is perfect for the festive season!! 🎄🙌🏼

It also packs a whopping 16g of protein per serve. NOT that desserts need to be high in protein, but here adding protein powder aids the thickness and fluffiness of the mousse, which is just unmatched🤌🏼

I’ve made a few varieties of this using different types of chocolate: my favourites being orange infused dark chocolate, and hazelnut dark choc. YUM.

And the whole fam approved too✅❤️‍🔥

*the protein powder you use here likely will affect the texture, taste and sweetness so just bare this in mind, if it’s not sweet enough for your taste, try adding a little maple syrup! I used my fave from 🫶🏼

The holiday season can be a really challenging time for many when it comes to food 🫶🏼🎄

It can feel messy and all over the place.
Different foods to usual, more food just in general.
Less structure and routine.
A lot more social meals and celebrations involving food and drinks.
More people making comments on what you are or aren’t eating 🙈

I get it and if that’s you, know you are SO not alone.

What’s important to know is that nutrition is NOT an all or nothing thing and food is SO much more than just fuel.

This time of the year is about spending time with the people you love, connection, joy…and sharing food or eating together is a big part of that. And so is allowing yourself to eat a little differently to/more than usual for those occasions, knowing it’s not going to cause you any harm🙂‍↕️🙌🏼✨

Food isn’t good or bad.
Progress isn’t lost by a few bigger meals or extra treats.
You harm yourself a lot more by stressing about food or isolating yourself in fear of food.
And restricting yourself or over exercising to ‘justify’ food is neither a necessary or healthy thing to do.

Here’s a few tips to navigating food during the festive season ❤️‍🔥🎁
