𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗢, 𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗜 & 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗣 🥦

The change of season & the chilly evenings has literally made me obsessed with soup-making! 🤪 We have so much in our freezer now that #FitDad thinks I’ve lost the plot, but I think you can never have too much soup in Winter, right? 🥶

I kind of made this one up so you may need to taste as you go, but here’s the rough recipe 📝

𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦:

▪️1 tbsp olive oil
▪️1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
▪️3 leeks, sliced thinly
▪️4.5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
▪️4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & chopped
▪️3 cups broccoli florets, chopped
▪️1/2 cup water
▪️1 rotisserie chicken, taken off the bone & shredded

𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗:
1. Fry the onion & leeks in olive oil until nice & soft.
2. Add the stock & bring to the boil. Throw in the sweet potato & let it cook for approx 15-20 mins until soft.
3. Remove from the heat & with your stick blender, blend the sweet potato until smooth & creamy.
4. If too thick, add the 1/2 cup water. Place on a low heat & add the broccoli. Allow to cook for a few minutes.
5. Here I blended the soup a bit more but not too much so it still left a few chunks of broccoli.
6. Throw in the chicken and heat through.
7. Salt, pepper & you’re ready to go! 🤤

We had it (for about 3 nights in a row 😂) with delicious ciabatta warmed up in the oven. Yuuuuuum! 💛

We live in a society which fuels instant gratifica

We live in a society which fuels instant gratification. How often do you start a diet on a Monday, only to be disheartened when not much has shifted by Friday? 🧐

When it comes to your health & fitness, it’s so important to remember that the goal should be a sustainable lifestyle that you actually 𝙚𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮, not just a number on a scale. 🤸‍♀️

I am always sceptical when it comes to transformation stories. I think to myself: “Well done, you’ve reached your goal weight! BUT, have you managed to keep the weight off? Have you continued to workout 5 times a week & lead a balanced life?” 🌈

I know I sound like a broken record but this all comes down to 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙎𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙔 🔑 That 80/20 rule they all talk about - I promise it’s legit! 🌟
