After a whirlwind of work stress, I needed a reset. Some quality time with those that matter most and some nourishing foods that stabilise energy, calm the nervous system, and support my gut.
Hereโs what I prepped and why these foods are so grounding:
- Egg Muffins
Perfect for a protein rich grab and go breakfast.
Benefits:
โข Keeps blood sugar steady
โข Supports muscle repair
โข High in B-vitamins for energy
โข Veggie additions boost fibre + antioxidants
- Blueberry Muffins
A lighter no UPF sweet alternative when you want something comforting.
Benefits:
โข Packed with antioxidants
โข Supports cognitive function & stress resilience
โข Helps curb sugar cravings with natural sweetness
- Carrot Cake Oat Bake
Warm, high-fibre, and tastes like dessert.
Benefits:
โข Oats support gut health & digestion
โข Carrots add beta-carotene for skin + immune health
โข Slow-release carbs help sustain energy through stressful days
- Banana Bread
A cosy classic packed with feel good nutrients.
Benefits:
โข Bananas provide potassium for nervous system balance
โข Natural sweetness from dates = less energy crash
โข Pairs well with yoghurt or nut butter for a balanced snack
- Walnuts & Blueberries
My go-to brain-boosting duo.
Benefits:
โข Walnuts omega-3s for focus + mood regulation
โข Blueberries reduce inflammation
โข Together, they stabilise energy between meals
Why this reset matters
When stress peaks, loved ones, movement, and nourishing food help rebalance our mood, energy, hormones, and gut. This reset isnโt about perfection, just supporting the body so we feel calm, nourished, and back in control.
