Chunky monkey protein smoothie

I've been wanting to try this for a while, and when i thought about it i though ah a good name would be chunky monkey....the truth is it isn't that chunky but i liked the name so i decided to keep it :)

So the reason i'm blogging during the day is because i have a day off and my dad has my car so i'm tied to the house. So here is the recipe...


It is so easy to do and again a really cheap recipe

  • 200 ml of almond milk - £0.20
  • Protein powder - £0.50 (would be cheaper if you bought your protein in bulk)
  • 1 banana - 11p
Total cost: 81p ... NICE!!

and this is how yummy it looks...


Delicious!

Do you like the pretty wallpaper? Thats in our summer house, so much prettier than our kitchen!

So anyway this is super nice, super clean and super cheap! why not try it?

I'm think next time i make it i'm going to double up the protein but one scoop banana and one scoop cookies and cream...i think this will be amazing!

Anyway enjoy! and let me no if there is anything you want me to try and make healthy and clean? or any ideas you want me to blog about?

Lots of hardwork and dedication

Whim #6

My Ryan Gosling motivation went down really well last week, infact it is the most viewed post that i have done haha so i thought id continue with this sort of motivation...so i bring you... the god of all men...

CHANNING TATUM


So no excuses...if you need to print this off and take it to the gym with you do so, or stick it on your fridge or snack cupboard because who would want to disappoint that? certainly not me!

We had a BBQ yesterday for my graduation, and i ate far too much food, i think i ate my body weight in crisps (my biggest downfall) so when my alarm went off i hit off and rolled over....but i felt bad and the gym gods wouldn't let me go back to sleep so off i went and i'm glad i did. It was a really good workout, as always (which i shall post later) and i really pushed myself today and lifted heavier than i usually would. and i proved to myself that i can do it, it may take me a little longer to complete the reps but i got there and i saw a progression and i felt really proud of myself. So do something today that you can feel proud of and that reflects what you have been working towards, push out of your comfort zone and you will be amazed with what you can achieve!

Happy Monday

Lots of hardwork and dedication

p.s - god i love a p.s don't i? I'm working on a '5 day clean up' i was hoping to post it yesterday but time got away with me so i shall post it later on and hopefully you will all join me!

My color run experience

Well I have just discovered blogger on my phone which means I can reach you anywhere any time...how awesome ;) 

Any way so in a previous post I told you that I would be doing the color run...and I did! In 31 degree heat...it was extremely sweaty but such a great experience!


At every km there are volunteers with what I can only describe as ketchup bottles full of this powder and they squirt/chuck it on you...such a fun run. They don't give you a time because its meant to be for fun with no pressure so would be a great first race if you are new to running/fitness! 

It was crazy...15000 people all wanting to be coloured in like a rainbow and I got extremely covered in fact It won't come out of my blond hair...so girls (and boys) with blond hair don't be a douche like me wearing your hair down trying to make the headband look a bit cooler put your hair up and possibly wear a hat! Unless you don't mind having pink hair...I mind because I have to graduate on Thursday!

 I loved this sign because I thought it mimicked the title of my blog


And at the end they give you a pa let of colour and at the stage they have a finishers festival...they do a count down and then you all chuck colour into the sky and create a rainbow cloud...pure brilliance! 

I was also given coconut water for the first time, it's extremely good for you a d a perfect way to hydrate naturally with flavour! I will def be investing in some in the near future! 

So that was my experience! Have you done a color run? Would you like to do one? Let me know!! 

Lots of hardwork & dedication 



Monday madness

Afternoon all

have you worked out yet? If not have no fear i have finished work and finally have time to share with you the workout i did this morning...This one is curtsy of Lloyd....so remember if you do this workout and want to thank or abuse him head over to the Zest facebook page and let him know.

Now i'm not going to lie it was a HARD workout but it is extremely satisfying when you have finished it.


 But what Lloyd fail to write was that tuck jumps are actually squat to a tuck jump...i no he led me into a false sense of security as well.

So on round one do it exactly as in the picture
On round two reduce all the 50 reps to 25
and on the final round reduce everything to 15 (except stair runs and the 0.25 mile sprint)

Or if you wanna go completely crazy and have the time do what you see 3 times

Okay so if you are working out at home here are some modifications...


  • no dumbbells for the burpee press? go find some cans of beans or water bottle
  • No kettle bells...find something heavy that you can get a good grip on for the kettlebell swing
  • No stairs...go ahead and do mountain climbers for 2 minutes
  • No pull up bar? like ive said before hold heavy weights above your head and jump :)
  • Knee raise's...just do 25 crunches if you have no where to hang from 
Good luck! I felt great after completing this workout and i'm sure you will too!!

Let me know if you try it :)

Lots of hardwork and dedication
