I am a huge fitness fanatic BUT, unfortunately, I have the worlds largest sweet tooth- not something that normally goes together, right?

Well, I've made it my mission to show the world that it IS POSSIBLE to have the best of both worlds...you literally CAN have your cake and eat it, you just need to know how.

  • MONDAY ❤️ • Happpppppppppy Monday 😁 • The Monday after a long weekend can normally be quite a sucky one 😏 And for those of you that aren’t on holiday like I am, I realllllly am sorry and I’m sending TONS of love & positive vibes your way 💫 • Social media has been an incredible place for me to be able to connect and ‘meet’ sooooo many of you and I would LOVE to get to know you a bit more ☺️ I thought that adding a bit of spice to Monday morning would be quite special 🤪 • What’s one random fact about you, that not many people know? PLEASE comment below 🎉 I can’t wait to read them 😉 • I think a random fact about me is that I eat an entire cucumber every. single. day 🤣🙈 I’m obsessed with the stuff...I put spices on it to make it savoury, I throw some sweetener or pb2 on it to make it sweet...I could literally eat cucumber until the cows come home 😂🙈Random, I know 😝 • Now it’s your turn... • All my love (and peanut butter) Jo
  • So no one guessed the exact ingredients I used in these guiltfree treats...although a lot of you were very close 😜 • Baby marrow and pumpkin are my FAVOURITE veggies to bake with 🎉 They are low in calories and add a ton of volume to whatever it is that you are baking. I also love cauliflower EXCEPT it can bloat me (but that’s just me 🙈) • Whey and egg whites are another firm favourite 😍 And the 2 typically go hand in hand when it comes to my style of baking ☺️ Although I have actually been experimenting with some egg replacer that I discovered and am loving but more recipes to come using that later in the week 😉 • Now as I said...these are grain free so no flour has been used and you can only get so far with whey and baby marrow as a replacement for flour...I knew before I started that I would need to add something that could act as a thickening agent BUT xanthan and guar gum can also cause bloating so they were out...this was when I decided to give custard powder a try 😁 And the best part- I couldn’t be happier with the result!!! • Not only are these brownies simple to make, they don’t even require a blender, and all of the ingredients can be bought from your local grocery store 😊 • 25 CAL BROWNIES • INGREDIENTS: 2 baby marrow, grated 300 grams pumpkin, steamed and puréed 2 egg whites 1 egg 2 servings whey protein- As always I used @npl_international @npl_prolifestyle 1/4 cup cocoa (I like my brownies super chocolatey) 4 TBS custard powder 1/2 tsp stevia powder or sweetener of choice A few drops of liquid sweetener (optional) 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp himilayan salt 15 grams dark choc chips from @woolworths_sa • METHOD: 1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a brownie tray with tinfoil. Set aside. 2. Add the pumpkin, egg whites and egg to a bowl and mix together until combined. 3. Add the baby marrow to this mixture and then stir together. 4. Add the cocoa, sweetener, whey, custard powder, baking powder and salt and mix until a delicious and thick batter starts to form. 5. Pour into the prepared tray and top with a sprinkle of choc chips. 6. Bake for 35 minutes or until the brownies pass the fork test 😁 Who is going to give these a bash? 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • Does anyone else feel like a scientist when baking healthy treats 😂 (or is it just me? 🤷🏻‍♀️😝) Either way...I don’t care- it’s probably my FAVOURITE thing to do (apart from actually eating the treats 😉) • I shared the macros in my story for these little bad boys...and they are a mere 25 calories each!!!! With 3 grams of protein and 2 grams of carbs and virtually 0 fat 😱 • When I’m baking, I typically think about a few things: 1) What am I craving? 2) What else have I eaten today? 3) Which macro have I not gotten enough of today? 4) When do I want to eat my treats? Breakfast, after a meal or just throughout the entire day? 😜 • So with load shedding, I wanted to have something on hand that could be eaten willy nilly (I’ve used that saying waaaaay too much this week 😂), and something that was jam packed with veggies and micro’s 🥒 • These brownies were made without sugar, dairy, oil, flour, grains or nuts...I also didn’t want to add xanthan gum as it can bloat me and I am trying to cut back...soooo what do you think the secret ingredients are? 😉 • Comment below...When someone gets it right I’ll share the recipe and the steps- deal? 🤪❤️😘 • Also...if you are finding macros confusing let me know 💕 I have received a few messages of late and am hoping to be able to help you all 😘 • Much love and peanut butter Jo xxx
  • I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve loved having these in the fridge...especially considering that one of my load shedding times are 12 to 2 😏 • The other night I was waaaaaaaay too tired from Rishape that I actually ended up slicing a few and popping them into the airfryer for dinner and honestly...GAME CHANGER 😍 • I shared the recipe in my story but in case you didn’t get it...here it is 😉 • SALMON FISHCAKES 🐟 • INGREDIENTS: 2 tins of salmon, drained (I also picked out the visible bones but they are very soft so you won’t actually notice them) 1 bag of sweet potato, steamed in the microwave and then blended into a purée...I used a 350 gram bag 2 egg whites 2 large baby marrow, grated 2 TBS chopped peppadews (You could use bell peppers as well) 1/2 cup oat flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp himilayan salt 1 tsp mixed herb 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes 1/2 tsp stevia powder ***You can add whatever spices etc you like, I have always love the sweet chilli vibe though, especially if you plan on topping the muffins with some cottage cheese 😍 • METHOD: - Preheat oven to 180 degrees and spray a muffin tray with some cooking spray. - Add the salmon, sweet potato and egg whites to a bowl or to a blender and mix until combined. I added mine to a blender because I wanted to make sure that any bones left behind had been blended up (that sounds sooo unappetizing, sorry 😂) - Add the salmon mixture to a bowl, followed by the remaining ingredients and mix. Spoon into the prepared muffin tray (I recommend adding enough mixture to each folder so that they are 3/4 full) - Bake for 49 minutes. - Store in the fridge ❤️ How simple is this? I have been having these with some fat free cottage cheese and a salad as big as my head 🤣 When we didn’t have load shedding though, I made some sweet potato fries and had sweet potato on sweet potato...There’s NO shame in my potato game 😝 • What would YOU add as a side?
  • TODAYS LUNCH 😍 (load shedding edition) • In fact, this has been my lunch every day this week...paired with a huge salad that’s not really worthy of the gram 🤣 • What you see here is my salmon and sweet potato fishcakes that I prepped on Monday morning and I have enough to last me until Friday 😁 • High in protein, carbs and healthy fats so I would say this is a balanced meal all round 😜 • I actually bought the tinned salmon on special so my entire week of lunches cost me less than R100...I’m pretty sure you can’t get a week’s worth of lunch for that anywhere else 🎉 • What are you having for lunch when there’s load shedding? 🤷🏻‍♀️ • Let’s do a recipe or meal idea exchange...comment below and I’ll be sure to share this recipe with you ⤵️
  • LOW CALORIE BLISS BALLS 😱❤️😍 • Well...I prefer to call them Cheesecake protein bites, if I’m honest 😉 • I love the convenience of bliss balls... ▶️ They are 110 % foolproof...ANYONE can make them!!! ▶️ They are made with very few ingredients ▶️ They can be hidden away for months in the freezer, or weeks in the fridge ▶️ They can pack a serious micronutrient punch • Now, what I don’t always like about bliss balls (and I’m just going to be honest)... ◀️ If something is made solely from dried fruit and nuts, the chances are they will be high calorie. Now these are GOOD calories and are GREAT energy sources, HOWEVER, if you are trying to watch what you are eating...you can’t just map a batch of these willy nilly (Does anyone even say that anymore? 🤣) ◀️ These little bite sized balls of happiness are moreish!!!! You need to practice serious self control with these...That being said, store them in the freezer and that should do the trick 😜 • SO to conclude (and before I give you the recipe for my low cal cheesecake bites), I feel like there is a time and place for both type of bliss ball...and I feel that you SHOULD include them BOTH in your diet...so I plan on trying my best to share enough recipes for both kind of ball to make sure that, whatever you are after, you will receive 😘 • CHEESECAKE PROTEIN BITES • To a bowl add: 1 tub fat free cottage cheese, smooth 2 servings vanilla whey- I used @npl_international @npl_prolifestyle platinum whey (Current fab for baking) 4 TBS coconut flour 1/4 tsp stevia powder, optional Sweetener drops, again optional 1 tsp caramel essence 3 to 5 sugar free wafers, crushed (I used the @woolworths_sa ones) • Mix all the ingredients, except the wafers, until well combined. Crush the wafers and fold them into the mixture and then roll into balls. Coat some in some extra crushed wafer or leave as is...You can add some dried fruits, nuts or sugar free chocolate if you want to change it up 😍❤️😘 • Enjoy xxx • PS: The best part: You can make these even if there is load shedding 🎉 • PSS: Craving something? Let me know and I will see if I can create a healthier version for you this holiday 😉
  • These brainy bites are SERIOUSLY yummy 😍 • They are made from only a few ingredients and pack a serious punch 🤜🏼 • The base is made from dates and nuts 🥜 • Both are great sources of energy...Dates obviously being high in carbs, and nuts being high in healthy fats 😁 • Berries are also used which contain so many antioxidants and vitamins that I really believe you are missing out if you haven’t included them as part of your 5 a day 🍒🍓 • The best part is that this recipe made 24 bites!!! I probably could have made more if I hadn’t eaten so much mixture while making them🤣 • As I said in my story last night...these little bites are relatively calorie dense BUT they are GOOD calories...and are ESSENTIAL for energy...CALORIES = ENERGY 🙌🏼 • I will be sharing a LOW CALORIE bliss ball recipe later today (for those that would like it so comment below 😘) • All my love (and peanut butter) Jo • BRAINY BITES • INGREDIENTS: 3/4 cup mixed nuts, raw and unsalted 1/2 cup coconut flour 1 cup pitted dates (Heated in the microwave or soaked in water to soften) 2 TBS sugar and salt free peanut butter 1 cup fresh berries (Blueberries or raspberries will work best) • 1/3 cup desiccated coconut (For rolling) • METHOD: 1. Add the nuts and coconut flour to a blender or food processor and blend until a flour like consistency starts to form. 2. Add the softened dates, peanut butter and berries and blend until a pliable dough starts to form. 3. Taking a TBS of mixture at a time, roll into balls and then coat in coconut. 4. Serve and enjoy as is for a softer end product, or refrigerate for an hour or 2. 5. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freeze. • Don’t forget to comment below if you would like me to share a LOW CALORIE bliss ball recipe with you all 🥰
  • Looking for an afternoon pick me up? 💕 • Well I was and I came across a Tupperware of these in my freezer 😍 • That’s one perk to #loadshedding...You are forced to look through what you have 😜 • I actually made these a few months ago when I wanted to come up with something that would help children/teens with their studying 🤓 • I’m going with the name BRAINY BITES because ummmm...Brainy balls just doesn’t sound right 🙈🤣 • These are vegan, unrefined sugar free and jam packed with all the good stuff...and they are kid approved too 🙌🏼 • So, as far as afternoon pick me ups go...I’m having a cup of iced @redespresso and a few of these 😍 What is YOUR go to pick me up...load shedding edition? 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • MAY YOUR MONDAY BE SHORT 💫 • AND MAY YOUR LOAD SHEDDING BE CANCELLED 😜 • I hope you all had an amazing weekend 🎉 I was a bit MIA buuuuutttt I’m back AND I’m on holiday so brace yourselves for a bucket load of stories and content 🤣🙈 #sorrynotsorry • I was about to start my meal prepping when Eskom decided to give me a 2 hour break 😏 This is when meal prepping is 110 % crucial...Not being able to cook means that I just have to grab whatever I can find for breakfast so I will be sure to learn from my mistakes and make sure that I have a fridge packed of cooked proteins, carbs & veggies (and treats 😉) • If you would like me to share how I plan on tackling load shedding...let me know 😘 • I also sent a new email out this morning...if you didn’t get it, please let me know & if you would like to be on my mailing list, please send me your email addie 🥰 • Once again, thank you so much to everyone for your support, messages, replies to my questions...I appreciate you all more than I can say 😘 I have a long list of veggie protein powders that I will be going on the search for and an even longer list of online shops I plan on splurging on 😝 • All my love (and peanut butter) Jo
  • You guys asked for it 😁 • And I’m so grateful that you did...THANK YOU 😘 • I will share the steps, one by one, on my story so be sure to check it out...but as always, if you have any questions...comment below 😋 • INGREDIENTS: 300 grams cauliflower, blitzed into a rice 1 bag fettuccine @nocalorienoodles, drained & rinsed & blitzed into a purée (look at my story) 3 egg whites 1 tsp vanilla essence 2 servings vanilla whey protein (I always bake with @npl_international @npl_prolifestyle Platinum whey so it’s 6 scoops of that) 1 tsp xanthan gum 3/4 tsp stevia powder 1 heaped tsp baking powder A few drops of @supashape cafe infusion drops (optional) 1 TBS ginger (optional) • METHOD: 1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and spray a silicone muffin tray with some cooking spray. Set aside. 2. Put the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 2 minutes. Allow to cool. 3. Add the whey, sweetener and ginger to the cauliflower and mix. 4. Add the noodles to a nutribullet or food processor and blitzed until a purée starts to form. Add this to the cauliflower. 5. Lastly, add the egg whites and the vanilla essence and mix again. 6. Spoon into the prepared muffin tray and bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins pass the toothpick test 💫 • I told you the recipe was simple 😝 • You can add cocoa to make them chocolate flavoured, cinnamon if Cinnabon is your weakness, pb2 if you love peanut butter or even coffee for a high protein caffeine kick 😜 • If you have any questions...comment below 🎉 • Have a wonderful weekend 😘
  • I’ve been keeping this recipe close to my heart the WHOLE week ❤️ • It hasn’t been easy not sharing it, especially since I am STILL munching on these muffins and it’s been 6 days since I made them 😂 • I thought I would share this recipe closer to the weekend so that it can hopefully be made as part of your prep for next week 😋 • This recipe made 14 muffins and each muffin works out to be only 25 calories (P: 4.1 C: 1.8 F: 0.2) 🎉 So I think it’s safe to say that these are COMPLETELY guilt free 🤤 • As I’ve said in one of my stories before...I always ask who would like the recipe (I’m sorry it’s annoying) because of the insta algorithm sooooo WHO WOULD LIKE THE RECIPE? 😋 • Let me know lovely humans and keep your eyes peeled for my stories later today as I make them and show you the steps (I’ll also save that to my highlight reel) 😘 • Have a wonderful Friday...and don’t forget to comment below if this is a recipe you would love to make this weekend 🥰
  • SHOUT OUT to all the peeps pushing past their comfort zones 💕 • It’s flippen hard and something that I struggle with on a daily basis. I go through stages with my anxiety...some days are good...some days are bad...but I think looking back- The good days definitely outnumber the bad 💗 • What I have realized though is that’s it’s all about mindset so that’s currently what I’m focusing on...Once again, it’s not easy and some days I let my monkey mind take over 🙈 BUT the only way to grow is to push yourself and I’m honestly seeing this more and more ☺️ • Talking on my stories used to be something I never thought I could do...my first thought would always be ‘What is everyone going to say?’ 🤷🏻‍♀️And I always assumed the worst...It wasn’t until I decided to just do it, and to not care about what others said, that I was actually able to grow...and now it’s not something I’m all that scared of 😁 • So...my beautiful lovelies...if you have been in a similar boat before, then HERE’S TO YOU 😘 You CAN do ANYTHING 🥰 • Have the HAPPIEST Thursday 🎉
