Mediterranean Diet Plan (What I’m Eating Daily)

Mediterranean tomatoes and mozzarella with olives

Hi Lovelies,

I have been following the Mediterranean diet for a while now and I’m enjoying the benefits so far. I have just introduced 5:2 intermittent fasting into the mix so I am happy to be losing weight and feeling great. If you want to read more about this diet, check out my previous post on it here “The new 5:2“. The first couple of weeks take a bit of adjusting to since the calorie reduction to 800 is a bit restrictive, but actually it isn’t too bad at all. The newer version of the 5:2 allows 800 calories instead of 500, as it was previously. The extra 300 calories is a lot less difficult to stick to. read more

Healthy Oatmeal Cup Snacks

I made these yummy and healthy oatmeal cup snacks with my 3 year old the other day and she absolutely loved them. I was delighted because she normally asks me to bake cakes and these are super healthy. They are a perfect snack without sugar and packed full of nutrients. They were really quick and easy to prep and they are perfect for baking with kids.

I had some oatmeal and bananas and decided to mix in some dates to substitute the sugar. Both the banana and dates add a natural sweetness and you can add in some frozen berries or else raisins for an extra taste if you like. The healthy oatmeal cup snacks are ideal for a healthy mid morning snack or to give the kids for school. read more
