While I’m recovering from surgery, nutrition isn’t optional - it’s essential.
This is where healing starts. Not just rest… but what you fuel your body with every day.
Right now, I’m prioritising protein and focusing on simple, whole foods that support recovery, reduce inflammation, and keep me moving forward - even if progress feels slow.
🍐🍎 Apple, Pear, Walnut & Chicken Salad (Single Serve)
Fresh, nourishing, and exactly what my body needs right now.
You’ll need:
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• ¼ pear, thinly sliced
• ¼ apple, thinly sliced
• 80–100g cooked chicken breast
• 2 tbsp crumbled feta
• 2 tbsp walnuts
• ¼–½ cup crispy chicken noodles (optional)
Caramelised walnuts:
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 tsp honey
• Pinch cinnamon
Dressing:
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• Small pinch Dijon mustard
How to make it:
• Add spinach to a bowl and layer over the apple and pear
• Slice or shred the chicken and add on top
• In a pan, melt butter, then add walnuts, honey, and cinnamon — stir 2–3 mins until glossy, then let cool
• Whisk dressing ingredients together
• Add feta and walnuts, drizzle dressing, and toss gently
Right now, it’s not about perfection. It’s about showing up, fuelling my body, and taking small steps forward every day.
Progress is progress 💛
