They’ll help you warm up in the colder months and kick-start your digestive system – helping to repair and restore your gut. You can prepare the night before, and pop it straight into a Thermos Food Jar for a natural sweet and warm breakfast on-the-go.

1/2 cup organic rolled oats

1 tablespoon chic seeds

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Squeeze lemon juice

  1. Mix oats and chia seeds together in a bowl, and allow it to soak for a couple of hours in 1/2 cup water/milk.
  2. Cook oats and chia seeds in remaining 1/2 water/milk in a pot on the stove until the oats become thicker in consistency (around 2-3 minutes).
  3. Once cooked, keep the stove on medium heat. Add in the rest of the ingredients and stir. Add in the glutamine powder to the oats, stirring well.

Sesame & Tamari Salmon On A Bed of Cauliflower Mash

Muscle Building Meal

I find this dish to be the most nourishing and cleansing meal at dinner. I usually cook this dish for my husband and I throughout the week, because it is filling, delicious and the perfect post-workout dinner. It’s ideal for keeping trim or if you’re preparing for a half-marathon.

Ingredients
Serves 4
Sesame & Tamari Salmon
4 x 180g salmon fillets, bones removed and skin on
1/4 cup spring onions
Marinade
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 tamari
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup sesame seeds, white or black
1 tablespoon honey or teaspoon stevia powder (optional)
Cauliflower Mash
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1/2 cup milk of choice (I use almond milk)
1 tablespoon virgin organic coconut oil or organic butter
3 tablespoon crushed walnuts
Himalayan salt and ground pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (to serve)
Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius (180 degrees celsius fan-forced) and then line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Once complete, marinate the salmon for up to 30 minutes in a  covered bowl or large snap-lock bag.
  3. Remove the salmon from the marinade and put the marinade to one side.
  4. Lay the salmon skin side down on the lined tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
  5. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and pour over there reserved marinade. Scatter the spring onions on top.
  6. In a pot of boiling water or a steamer, steam the cauliflower until very well cooked, then let it cool.
  7. In a food processor, add the cauliflower, milk, coconut oil or butter and walnuts, then pulse the mixture. Alternatively, you can use a stick blender until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little water.
  8. Finally, season with salt, pepper and paprika to taste.
  9. Add the meal to a pre-heated Thermos Food Jar.
