Pecan and Carrot Cookie Vegan Pie: new recipe on t Pecan and Carrot Cookie Vegan Pie: new recipe on the blog 🥕🥕
If there’s one thing I love (aside from chocolate) its carrot cake and cookie skillets! So here you have an epic combination of the two in a healthy, gluten free and high protein recipe! 
This carrot cookie pie has a crunchy outside and that soft gooey cookie center we all love. Plus you can top it off with some ice cream or creamy yogurt for a little fancy snack or dessert. 
You’ll need: 
🥕55g (1/4 cup) creamy almond butter @myproteinuk 
🥕20g (1/4 cup) melted coconut oil
🥕90g (1/3 cup) unsweetened applesauce
🥕1 flax egg (or sub pasture-raised egg)
🥕1 teaspoon vanilla extract
🥕45g (1/2 cup) ground almonds
🥕2 Tbsp coconut flour
🥕100g (1/2 cup) coconut or @natvialiving stevia sugar
🥕2 Tbsp @myproteinuk Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder
🥕½ teaspoon nutmeg
🥕½ teaspoon cinnamon
🥕1 teaspoon baking powder
🥕60g (1/2 cup) organic shredded carrots
🥕30g (1/3 cup) chopped pecans
Check my blog for the full method and nutritional info.... linked in bio and stories 😀 you don’t need a skillet for this you could use a round silicone cake tin which might actually be easier than a skillet!

How to deal with reducing exercise: both HA and ge How to deal with reducing exercise: both HA and generally as I feel this may affect many people. 
P.s. totally unrelated pic of my being daft and yes those are stomach rolls and I’m not mad about it 😀
I absolutely love the gym, lifting weights for me is way more than just keeping fit or healthy it’s a passion! I used to go to the gym 5-6 x a week and avoid rest days wherever possible. I’ve never been one for cardio really except the odd HIIT so that wasn’t so much of an issue but I really wasn’t allowing my body time to recover and I certainly wasn’t fuelling enough to cope with the sessions. Realising I had Amenorrhea was the big push I needed to change this. 
WHAT did I do:
1️⃣Reduced my time in the gym to 3-4 days (light strength training much lower intensity than I was used too) 
2️⃣added in yoga 1-2 times week 
3️⃣ 7-10k steps a day 
HOW did I make this change: 
✅ I began listening to my body and prioritised sleep, rest and recovery
✅ Asked myself why I felt the need to exercise as much as I did: I would tell myself it was to build strength and muscle when I knew I’d actually be more likely to achieve this with fewer focused sessions and actually this was no longer my priority: my HEALTH was. 
✅ reminded myself that in 6 months time I would not be happy or proud of myself for going to the gym or building muscle but I would be if I regained my period 
✅ I knew the reduction in exercise needed only be temporary while I focused on other things 
✅ I really enjoyed yoga which replaced some of the feeling I got from the gym and I knew it was better for my recovery 
Since regaining my period I have moved my goals back to strength but I’ve stuck with all the changes I’ve made. My sessions have increased in intensity again but I keep to 4 full body sessions a week and still continue with yoga. I also still listen to my body and only train when I’ve had good sleep and feel good which is something I would have ignored! I hope this was useful in some way, it really does take a shift in mindset but there’s so many benefits when you do ❤️

My face when someone tells me the ‘average’ se My face when someone tells me the ‘average’ serving size of peanut butter 😂
I can’t say I eat an average serving size of anything! I swear they are largely meant for children with how small they tend to be!
This is the same face I pull when people presume they shouldn’t be eating the same portion size as their partner! As believe me I generally eat the same as him for dinner! This was actually a little hack I used during my weight gain period I would make sure I was eating the same as him if not more sometimes! 
If you have a partner (or any person you live with really) try these things out: 
✅ let them choose more meals... I knew he would choose food I maybe wouldn’t have done such as fattier meat or big pasta bowls etc 
✅ get them to plate up your food for you or give yourself the same amount as you would give them 
✅ ask them to not comment on the amount you are eating if this would put you off
✅ encourage them to cook for you... for example my boyfriend always puts loads of butter and cheese into mashed potato which is something I never used to do 
❤️
Although some people struggle to let their control of food go I think it’s the best thing you can do when trying to gain weight!

Weight gain journey- June 2020 (1st pic) no period Weight gain journey- June 2020 (1st pic) no period to 1st period Sept 20 (2nd) and post period recovery now (3rd pic)! 
You guys voted in my stories yesterday to hear a bit more about my weight changes over this time and how this correlated to my calories. Ive never actually shared numbers with you before so I’m a bit nervous as I don’t want anyone to aim for the same as we are all different but thought I’d include them to give you a bit of a better picture. 
So in June 2020 I was eating around 2000 calories at 51-52kg. I increased calories to 2500-3000 the beginning of July and began gaining around 3lb (1.3kg) a month. I regained my period end of sept after 3 months of eating this amount of calories and gaining weight to around 57kg I continued to make sure I ate similar calories until around November when I had my second period and then end of December to now I relaxed on the amount I was eating as I didn’t need to be eating 2500+ and I now eat intuitively according to my hunger but obviously still ensuring I eat enough. I tracked a few days last week out of interest and I’m eating between 2200-2400 a day I now weigh around 58.5kg. 
Overall that’s 7kg (15lb) weight gain. My weight has pretty much stayed the same now for a month. 
I know a lot of people worry that they will never be able to stop gaining weight but I truly believe your body finds a happy place which for me is the weight I’ve been at for the last month. I also felt quite ‘puffy’ for the first 4-5 months but this has reduced in the last month. 
Little takeaways: 
✅ The rate you start gaining weight won’t necessarily be the way your body continues to gain weight so don’t worry if it initially seems quick 
✅ your body is likely to find a weight it’s happy at and you’ll stabilise with the weight gain 
✅ the time taken for your body to find that happy place will vary for each person as will the amount of calories needed
✅ your likely to be able to maintain your weight at a much higher calories than where you started 
✅ that feeling of ‘puffiness’ or almost inflammation will reduce over time 
I hope that was useful but like I said don’t read too much into my specific numbers ❤️
Protein Pumpkin Pancakes 🥞 The fluffiest, ligh Protein Pumpkin Pancakes 🥞 
The fluffiest, lightest pancake stack that is healthy, gluten free and high in protein (with vegan subs)! 
I know pumpkin season has ended but I just love using it! Especially in pancakes and if you can still buy it then I’ll keep using it 😀
I’ve uploaded the recipe on my blog but here it is: 
✅40g Oat Flour (gluten free oats blended)
✅15g Protein powder - I used @myproteinuk cookies and cream flavour
✅¾ Tsp Baking Powder
✅Pinch Salt
✅Tbsp Pumpkin Puree (sub with mashed banana or apple purée) 
✅½ Tsp Pumpkin Spice or cinnamon 
✅A few @myproteinuk Toffee Flavour Drops (optional)
✅ 60g @twochicksproducts Egg Whites (sub with almond milk or 1 egg + a couple of Tbsps almond milk)
✅Tbsp Stevia or coconut Sugar
✅3 Tbsp Almond Milk
✅Coconut Oil for Frying
Instructions:
1. Combine all the above ingredients together to form a smooth batter. You may need to adjust the amount of almond milk depending on whether you use egg whites or not. I aim for a thick batter that's still pourable from a spoon.
2. Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan until melted and the pans hot. Fry around 1 tbsp and half of the mixture until the pancakes are golden on each side
3. Stack and top with your favourite toppings- I used yoghurt, pecans, blubs @myproteinuk cacao nibs and maple syrup 😍😍
Have a great Sunday!
