TRX training equipment is the ideal portable exercise equipment available. I love it! The versatility of TRX Suspension is amazing, and the instruction is first-class. It is very cost effective too, and probably most people's answer to a home gym, or a gym on-the-move! For those who travel alot - it is ideal. TRX Suspension Training is definitely worth checking out.

Willing on Will Maybanks to London 2012 Olympics

I am sponsoring Table Tennis player William Maybanks with nutritional support, and part of a team helping him to fulfill his dream of competing at the London 2012 Olympics. Currently ranked No 5 in the UK, Will has played for England since he was 13 years old. He turns 18 in June this year. Table Tennis, unfortunately has had it's funding for 2012 drastically reduced, so if Will is to realise his dream and compete on the world stage at London 2012, he will have to raise the necessary £300k himself. So... a talented group of individuals from both the business, and sporting worlds, have got together, and created WillMeOn - a campaign to help raise support, funding and sponsorship to help Will on his journey. Of course, I am thrilled to have been asked to get on board! Will is a young man with great determination, and of course a wonderful talent too. We've already begun working to improve his day-to-day diet and nutrition. Some key dietary changes, such as starting the day with a high-energy breakfast, focusing on energy-boosting snacks, good protein and carbohydrate foods, with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits have made an immediate difference to Will's energy for training, and recovery. He is enjoying some new foods too, which is great. It is not easy for him either, as he's travelling a lot, and training mostly in Hungary, so access to certain foods has been a challenge! But we have come up with some workable strategies, so all in all, it is great start on the nutrition front!

 

You can read more about Will, and all his achievements to date at Willmeon.com. Why not consider making a donation, and/or help promote Will's cause by placing a supporter's badge on your blog? Every little helps.

Hazelnut Granola and Avocado and Chocolate Mousse

I have been working on, and experimenting with some new recipes lately, mainly for work, but also to enjoy at home! AND... on a completely different subject, I had a sudden inspirational "urge" to start a brand new blog! Check out "The Loves and Life of Lucy-Ann". Now, back to the recipes...

I made a gorgeous Hazelnut Granola yesterday, and made some fresh hemp milk this morning to enjoy it with! This week I am also going to do the recipe below - Avocado and Chocolate Mousse. Avocados are my absolute favourite food! Here are both these recipes for you...

Hazelnut Granola
This delicious sweet granola that is grain and gluten-free takes minutes to make and can be eaten hot or cold. It is full of protein, essential fats and minerals, and served best with chopped fresh fruit, or simply by the handful for a quick snack!

6 servings
100g hazelnuts (soaked overnight in water)
100g raisins
50g sunflower seeds
50g pumpkin seeds
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tablespoon of Xylitol
