Hello lovely people and welcome to a day on my plate. I know this type of video is very common on here in the health and wellness space, however I think that one’s diet is highly personal and depends on many factors (e.g. lifestyle, activity level, age, gender, preference, allergies, etc.). So I do not intend for this video to be taken as a guideline for how people should eat, it’s simply what suits my body and lifestyle. I recommend you eat in a way that makes you happy, fuels your body with nutrient-dense foods, and allows you to do all that you want to do in the day 🙂
My 6 week wellness challenge ebook will be releasing this December!! Get notified when it launches here:

Cooldown & stretch
Blueberry buckwheat protein pancakes (makes 3-4 pancakes)
1 very ripe banana (the browner, the better)
1 egg
50g flour (I use buckwheat, though all purpose, almond, whole wheat would all work)
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt & cinnamon
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
splash of milk to thin it out OR chia seeds to thicken it (trust your pancake instincts here)
Add ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, other fruit
Instructions:
1. Combine everything in a bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in cooking oil of choice.
2. Spoon in pancake batter to desired pancake size. Allow to cook 3-4 minutes until little bubbles start to form and then flip, cooking for another 2 minutes or until golden on the other side.
3. Top with peanut butter, honey, jam or whatever your heart desires and enjoy!
The recipe for the Basil Tuna burgers was inspired by Sarah’s Day 🙂
Rough recipe (makes 2 tuna patties)
2x100g canned tuna, drained
1 egg
1.5 tsp mustard
50g buckwheat flour (or whatever flour you have on hand)
salt and pepper
Chopped basil or coriander
Instructions:
Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Using clean hands, form two patties from the mixture. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat (add 1 tsp oil if your pan is not nonstick). Cook the patties until just crispy and golden brown (about 2-3 minutes on each side).
Serve with sliced tomato, avocado, sesame seeds and a bun.
Enjoy!
