Beans beans beans… 🫘 We all need to incorporate more, if you listen to the Secrets of the Blue Zones, where they live long and thrive. I’m loving crisped Butterbeans in olive oil and garlic granules, alongside my eggs and crispy chilli oil for lunch, but a family friendly batch idea is to blitz a can of white beans with your passata before you add to a bolognese sauce. It doesn’t alter the taste much, just lends creaminess alongside more fibre, protein and gut goodness.
Highly recommend a watch on Netflix too if you haven’t already… Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones Dan Buettner

Oh Italy, your dumbbells are too pretty. And I mean, how easy would it be to hit our protein and fibre goals if someone presented us with this bowl of gorgeousness every lunch? (Burrata to die for, beetroot crisps divine.) Alas. Back to the land of the meal deal. Ciao for now ⭐️

My face when everyone’s complaining about the heatwave and they realise I have air conditioning. Impressive attendance from my ladies this week!!
👏🏻 ☀️ 💪🏻
If it makes you feel any better, I had to chuck out 3 chicken breasts today because my fridge isn’t coping. And you know how much I love my protein

Frailty doesn’t have to be our destiny 💖
Do you know that muscle is a calorie burning organ, even at rest, that eats glucose? Muscle mass supports bone health, improves balance, and helps us stay strong and independent as we age.
Let’s lift, ladies 💪🏻

Lovely buzz around the BBC highlighting this new evidence today. We lift heavy shizzle for the cognitive benefits, the heart health, the bone health, the best quality of life we can. 💪🏻
