💚 In all the protein kerfuffle…we lost focus on plants!!
🌱 Whatever your health journey, plants play an important role!
🌱 Fibre for gut health, heart health, blood sugar level control
🌱 Antioxidants for immune support and skin health
🌱 Polyphenols for gut health and overall well being
🌱 some plants are a source of carbohydrate and other plants contain some protein too
🌱 And as for the flavour, colours and textures….!
💚 As a perimenopausal woman, protein is important yes, but don’t lose focus on plants and working towards including more variety of plants in your diet.
It’s not about taking away, but adding in!

🩷 I don’t have the “perfect” diet or lifestyle!
But I understand perimenopause, real life and the challenges that perimenopausal women experience.
I can relate.
🩷 If you are perimenopausal and feeling stuck, low in energy, frustrated with a plateau…

🩷 Are you coming off a weight loss medication like Mounjaro or Ozempic or Wegovy and concerned about the long term?
🩷 These are some of the points that are super important to help you establish long term habits!
1. Make breakfast count!
2. Eat regularly…don’t be tempted to skip meals
3. Don’t underestimate the value of nutritious snacks!
🩷 Undernourishing and skipping meals will lead to poor nutrient intake and overcompensating later in the day.
🩷 Weight loss medications are a fantastic tool for some, but relying on them to do all the work will land you right back where you started pre medication.
🩷 No diet is perfect. Aim for consistency of good habits!
🩷 If you are feeling stuck, I can help you!

🥐 I don’t want to tell you what to do, but you HAVE to try these.
Are your mornings crazy busy and having a tasty breakfast is not on your radar??
These baked oats are DELICIOUS and super easy, mega filling, and can be prepared in advance…
(I have previously posted a recipe but I feel like they deserve more air time!)
🥐“𝐀𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐭” 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞
Ingredients (Serves 4)
Base:
200g oats
2 bananas
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 egg
50g ground almonds
1 tsp almond extract/ vanilla essence
200ml milk
1-1.5 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional)
Filling:
20g ground almonds
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp nut butter
small amount of water/ milk to bind
To top:
1 tbsp flaked almonds
icing sugar (optional)
Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients for the base together in a large bowl
2. Mix the ingredients for the filling together in a separate bowl
3. Divide the base mixture evenly between four oven-safe glass dishes. Add around 1 tbsp of the almond filling to each and swirl it through the oats.
4. Sprinkle over the flaked almonds, then air fry at 180°C for approx 15 minutes.
5. Once baked and slightly cooled, sprinkle over the icing sugar if you would like to have more almond croissant vibes.
ENJOY!
Top tips:
☀️ I used peanut butter as did not have almond butter - it was delicious
☀️ I baked all the base mixture together in one larger glass dish - for 20 mins at 180; and have been heating up a serving every morning
☀️ You could prep the bowls and bake each morning
☀️ I served with yoghurt and blueberries - so delicious.

Are you on Mounjaro and your bowels are more sluggish?
Swipe for some general tips!
Everyone is individual with different guts, diets, lifestyles, and health conditions.
Small, sustainable, individualised changes are key. There are more niche tips but these are more specific in terms of amounts and overall gut health.

💛 On Mounjaro or Wegovy?
Fibre is one of the most underrated tools for anyone on weight loss medication. It helps with fullness, helps to control blood sugar levels, and is great for your gut health- but most people still fall short!
The good news? It might be easier to hit your goals than you think. More mindful choices at each meal can get you to 30g a day. Check the post for simple ways to make it happen.
