Wow your guests with a delicious, healthier version of Christmas pudding! 🎄🍮 . Everyone will be taking about them 🙌 . Mini Christmas Pudding Bliss Balls 👌🏻 . Ingredients . Pudding 🔺1 cup dates 🔺1 cup almonds 🔺 ½ cup pecans 🔺 ½ cup sultanas 🔺 ¼ cup dried cranberries 🔺 1 TBSP orange zest 🔺 1 TBSP lemon zest 🔺 1 tsp cinnamon 🔺 1 tsp ground ginger 🔺 1 tsp nutmeg 🔺 currants or cranberries for decorating . Frosting 🔹 ½ cup raw cashews soaked for at least 3 hours or overnight 🔹 2 TBSP sugar free maple syrup 🔹 2 TBSP soy milk or almond milk 🔹 1 TBSP lemon juice 🔹 1 TBSP coconut oil 🔹 drop of vanilla extract . Method . 1️⃣ For the pudding: add the nuts, dried fruit, orange and lemon zest as well as the cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to the food processor and blend for a few minutes until the mixture becomes sticky. Process the nuts first if you are wanting a finer texture . 2️⃣ Roll even sized balls and flatten the tops slightly . 3️⃣ For the frosting: add the cashews, maple syrup, milk, lemon juice coconut oil and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth. Soaking the cashews really helps give a much smoother consistency. Make sure there are no lumpy bits from the cashews. You can pop the frosting in the fridge to help it firm a little before using it but I preferred to use mine straight away, so it could fall down the sides of the balls . 4️⃣ Decorate with three fresh currants or cranberries if you can find them . 5️⃣ Store in the fridge or freezer in a container with a lid. Enjoy! . Dani Xx . .

Don’t get me wrong sometimes I will enjoy Fish and Chips from the local take away store but for the most part I would be far more satisfied with Home baked fish and chips 😉 This recipe has been on the menu the last few weeks…served with sweet potato chips and a green salad (see my pic in comments), you’ve got yourself a winner 🙌🏼 . “Whole Baked Snapper with Salsa Verde” . 1 kg whole snapper 60 ml olive oil 3 lemons, halved and sliced 4 garlic cloves, sliced thinly 3 long red chilli, sliced .

Dani Xx . . . #health #happiness #friends #family #love #gratitude #grateful #bethankful #focusonwhatyoudohave #innerwestmums #stellarperformance #stopandthink #writeitdown You will be jumping for joy when you put to practice these amazing tips for improving your plank time 👯‍♀️ . Planking is a full body exercise. It's more than just a core exercise. It's strengthens your back, chest, shoulders, deep abs, glutes, hamstrings and quads! Winning 👏👏 . 👉 Step 1 - Positon your elbows directly under your shoulders (not forward or behind this point) . 👉 Step 2 - Press your elbows and forearms firmly on the ground and imagine you are trying to separate the floor with them. This will engage your lats (back muscles) and take the load off the shoulders . 👉 Step 3 - Pull your chest up away from the floor slightly seperating your shoulder blades (do not over round your upper back) . 👉 Step 4 - Drop your bottom down and tuck your hips to your ribs, scooping your ribs together and away from the floor. Avoid having your bum in the air like a down dog as you will affect your shoulder/elbow position . 👉 Step 5 - Contract your bum, quads and hamstring muscles to assist with the holding position. Really activate your legs so they don't sag to the floor . 👉 Step 6 - Imagine your waist like a corset, draw in front, back and sides of your waist towards your spine really focusing on your lower belly between your hip bones pulling in . 👉 Step 7 - Finally, remember to breathe and keep scanning through the steps so your are on top of area's that may be letting you down . Give it a go today and let us know how you go? Did it help? Have you improved your time? . Note - Although it is a great exercise, this variation is not recommended for a post natal mums with Diastisis (muscle separation of your abdominals) as it puts too much load on your rectus abdominus 🙅🏼‍♀️ .

I’m always looking for a desert option that is less in sugar but still big on taste and this one is a winner for your Christmas festivities 🎄🎉 . Macadamia, mango and coconut tart (3 of my favourite ingredients for desert) 🥭 . INGREDIENTS . 🔺145g (1 cup) roasted salted macadamias 🔺 50g (1/2 cup) rolled oats 🔺 30g (1/2 cup) moist coconut flakes 🔺 1 tablespoon coconut sugar 🔺 75g butter, melted 🔺 2 mangoes, peeled, thinly sliced 🔺 2 passionfruit, halves 🔺 Toasted flaked coconut, to serve . FILLING . 🔺 170g carton vanilla quark-style yoghurt 🔺 250g cream cheese, at room temperature 🔺 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 🔺 1 teaspoon gelatine powder 🔺 1 tablespoon maple syrup (you can use sugar free maple syrup) 🔺 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste . METHOD . 🥭 Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Grease a 22cm fluted tart tin with removable base with olive oil spray. Place macadamias, oats, coconut and sugar in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Add the butter and process until the mixture just comes together. Wipe the bowl of the food processor clean . 🥭 Press the mixture firmly into the base and side of the prepared tin. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes. Place the tin on a baking tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the base is lightly golden. Use the back of a spoon to flatten the base and side of the pastry case evenly. Set aside to cool · 🥭 For the filling, process the quark and cream cheese until smooth. Pour the lemon juice into a small heatproof bowl. Sprinkle gelatine over the lemon juice. Place the bowl inside a larger heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water into the larger bowl until it reaches halfway up the side of the smaller bowl. Use a fork to stir to dissolve gelatine. Add to the cream cheese mixture and process until smooth. Add the maple syrup and vanilla. Process to combine. Pour into the cooled tart base and smooth the surface. Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours or until just set . 🥭 Remove the tart from the tin. Curl mango slices and place on top of the tart. Drizzle over the passionfruit pulp and scatter with the toasted coconut . Enjoy 😋😋 . Dani Xx .

Jess✌🏼 . . #saturdaysport #mumlife #uberdriver #stellarperformance #fitnesscommunity #fitmums #fitchicks #innerwestmums #groupfitness #outdoorfitness #innerwestsydney #fitmums #womenshealth Tuna Poke Bowl 🐟🥒🍚🥑 . This Hawaiian inspired dish packs all the flavors of sushi into a convenient and easy to make bowl 👇🏼 . INGREDIENTS 1 cup white rice Japanese short grain (or I sub brown rice) 12 ounces yellowfin tuna sushi grade 1 tbsp green onions chopped finely 1 tsp sesame seeds sea salt to taste 1 mango sliced thinly 1 avocado sliced thinly 1 cucumber sliced thinly 1 red onion sliced very thinly 1 red bell pepper sliced thinly furikake seasoning (seaweed seasoning), optional . Poke Bowl Dressing: 1/3 cup coconut aminos or sub 3 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar 1 tbsp honey 1 tbsp sesame oil 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice or to taste sea salt to taste sesame seeds to garnish green onions chopped, to garnish . INSTRUCTIONS 1. Steam rice, and set aside. 2. Prepare the fish by cutting it against the grain into small cubes. I prefer to buy slices of sashimi, and then just cut them into smaller pieces. 3. Season the ahi cubes with sea salt, sesame seeds, and green onions. 4. Mix all the sauce ingredients together, and mix well with a fork. I find that coconut aminos taste more like soy sauce with an extra few pinches of sea salt. If using soy sauce or tamari, the salt might need to be omitted. 5. Top bowls of rice with a variety of thinly sliced vegetables, avocado, or mango. Add a scoop of the seasoned fish to the top. Drizzle or serve the bowls with the sauce. Serve immediately - while fish is at its freshest. . Enjoy! Jess ✌🏼 .

Dani & Jess Xx . . . #baliretreat #fitnessretreat #fitnessmotivation #fitspo #yoga #pilates #hiit #cycle #massage #shopping #stellarperformance #innerwestmums #ilovebali #seminyak #canguu #christmasgiftideasforher Do you add incidental exercise to your day?🤔 . Incidental exercise refers to any situation where you choose to be active 🚴🏻‍♀️ This form of activity doesn't happen at the gym, but instead relies on your daily choices . Society is becoming more sedentary each and every year. Many are consumed with work, cooking, cleaning, kids and family commitments. Lives are just too busy 😩 . It’s just the way it is now! I hate to think what the world will be like in 10 years time 😔 . We simply can’t use it as an excuse 😬 . This is why (more than ever before) we have to make a conscious effort to move our bodies each and every day 👊🏻 . Here are some top tips to add movement into your day without thinking too much about it . 1️⃣ Give yourself a goal to do 12,0000 steps every day 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ . 2️⃣ Grab a friend, son, daughter or your dog for an early morning walk before breakfast (especially if your kids are early risers) 👬👭 . 3️⃣ Walk to your bus stop or train station in the morning and afternoon 🚞 . 4️⃣ Take the stairs over the lift every time 🙌 . 5️⃣ Add in a lunch time walk for 20 mins with a colleague. Have lunch far from your office 😀 . 6️⃣ Get up out of your chair for a few stretches and a lap around the office every hour 👌🏻 . 7️⃣ Go for an evening walk (15-20 mins) after dinner with your whole family before cleaning up 🐶👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 . 8️⃣ Do a few squats whilst you are cooking at the stove 🙈 . 9️⃣ On the weekend organise short/long family bike rides or bushwalking 🌲🚲 . 🔟 Park at the opposite end of a park or beach you actually want to sit at and walk the rest of the way 🏖 . 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️ Have a lap race in the pool with your kids . 🤗 My personal favourite - Select 2 songs on Spotify and dance by yourself or with the kids. This is at least 5-6 mins movement 🕺🏻💃🏼 . The list goes on and on! You really can add movement in anywhere! I challenge you to add it into your day everyday for the next week! 💪 .
