Breakfast : Blueberry and Banana Breakfast Smoothie

Due to not having any gluten free cereals, I decided to make a Breakfast smoothie, packed with goodness to start me off for the day.

Recipe -

1 banana
1 cup of blueberries
1/2 cup of water
1 1/2tbs Chia seeds
1tbs Oats
1tbs Almond butter
3 dates

I slightly tweaked the recipe and added more blueberries and didn't have flak seeds to added a few more chia seeds.

It was so simple to make as you just throw it all in the blender and 'bam' you have a delicious breakfast smoothie!

Lunch: Gluten free Ciabatta and salad

Recipe -

1 Waitrose gluten free Ciabatta roll
Handful of iceberg lettuce
Cucumber
1 tomato
Vinegar

I heated the Ciabatta roll in the oven for 5 minutes and prepared my salad and drizzled it with vinegar.

This lunch was so quick and easy and filled me up a treat!

I then ate a cupcake my friend made me for my Birthday and was soo yummy, but due to the flour made me very bloated (whoops)

Snack - Apple, Pear and Mint juice

Recipe-

2 apples
2 pears
1 cucumber
handful of mint

Simply juice these all together and enjoy for a refreshing afternoon energy boost, full of all the nutrients needed to keep you going.

Dinner: Sweet potato cakes and salad

Recipe-

4 sweet potatoes
1tsp Almond butter or Tahini
2tbs tomato puree
handful of fresh coriander
1 lime
1tsp cumin
1tsp chilli powder
pinch crushed garlic
2tbs brown rice flour

Boil the sweet potatoes, this takes roughly 15 minutes depending how small you cut them.
Whilst they cook prepare the other ingredients in a bowl
When the sweet potato is cooked, mash it in a bowl and then mix in the other ingredients
Divide it into four and brush it with rice flour on a baking tray
Then cook for 30 minutes
Prepare your salad and squeeze some lime juice over it
Then enjoy :)

Again I changed the recipe slightly as I didn't have and tahini so used almond butter, and instead of chilli flakes I used chilli powder.

This was a simple meal that took minutes to prepare and felt so good to eat as it was bursting with flavours!
