SWEET POTATO PROTEIN BOWL


2 servings

1 large sweet potato 
(mine was 400g once cooked and peeled)
2 scoops vanilla protein 
(I use Forever Living Vanilla Protein)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk of choice 
(I use almond milk)

Pierce some holes in the potato and wrap it in tin foil and bake in the oven
Allow to cool and peel
Mash the potato really well (you don’t want any lumps)
Mix in all the other ingredients to form a nice creamy consistency
Enjoy hot or cold with sliced banana, mixed berries, peanut butter and yogurt 

This would be lovely with a teaspoon of cinnamon too!
If you don’t use protein you could mash some banana with the potato instead
Im going to try some of Aldi’s Nutty Muesli on top tomorrow.




Let me know if you try it out 🌻

Did you ever wake up feeling a bit low for no reason at all? You try to figure out what’s making you feel down and you just can’t put your finger on it? I woke up like this last Friday morning.  I just felt a bit "meh" and found it hard to get out of bed but I got up and went to the gym anyway.  I had a great workout but felt no better after it.  Normally a workout would lift my mood but it hadn’t done the trick so I drove home thinking I’ll lie down on the sofa with a blanket and watch a movie and that will make me feel better. When I got home Lenny was hopping out of his skin looking to go for a walk.  The internal battle began.  The good Bernie said go out for a walk in the fresh air, it will make you feel so much better.  The bad Bernie said lie down on the sofa, you deserve to have a bit of a rest, and you can take Lenny out later sher…. The good Bernie won the battle and I put Lenny’s lead on and headed out the door.   By the time...

HELP

Have you ever been working on your computer or laptop and found that it becomes annoyingly slow?  You think it’s because of a poor internet connection but you soon discover that it’s because you have too many tabs open. Well my brain has been doing this since before Christmas.  I’m totally distracted and I’m finding it so frustrating because I’m not able to focus on any single task at a time without my mind jumping to something else completely.  It’s so annoying and totally unproductive. I HAVE TOO MANY TABS OPEN IN MY BRAIN Can you relate to this? This brain fog led me to take a complete break from my phone, social media in particular, during the Christmas holidays.  This little break was pure heaven but enough is enough Bernie!! It’s time to get back to work!!  Easy to say but not so easy to do.  I’ve been talking to myself trying to urge myself to write a blog and my newspaper article but I JUST CAN’T FOCU...

Chocolate and cake for breakfast

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day we want to make sure it's delicious and nutritious and most importantly that it doesn't become boring. Until recently I always thought of porridge as the big pot of lumpy goo we were forced to eat for our breakfast as kids. Not any more... I ADORE PORRIDGE NOW. I have it for breakfast, lunch and as a snack and I'll eat it hot or cold.  Basically I'm not fussy because it tastes so good 😍 Did you know that porridge and oats are not the same thing? I didn't until just last week 🙈 The dictionary says porridge is a food commonly eaten as a breakfast cereal, made by boiling ground, crushed or chopped starchy plants—typically grain—in water or milk. Armed with this new info I've been trying out different grains to make my porridge with and I've been experimenting with lots of different add ins. Here's my top 3 (so far) What I love about these recipes is that y...
