Peel the yellow item. Unscrew the jar & undertake more slathering but this time with chunky, nutty goo….this snack is ideal to help fuel a high intensity workout session.

I’m not a fan of the marketing term, “superfood” however, if ever there was a hero in a full shell that packed a massive nutrient punch then it’s the egg. Preferably organic, hard boil a couple of these bad boys & pop them in a container with some pepper & mustard and you’ve got yourself the perfect snack for on the go.

Combine half a cup each of water & coconut milk with a tablespoon each of pumpkin seeds & tahini. Then add a teaspoon of cinnamon, half a banana, a handful of spinach and a scoop of protein powder. Whizz up in a whizzy appliance and refrigerate until snack time!
