#41 How to find a consistent movement routine and a delicious gluten free oat bread recipe
The Weekly Dose
Happy New Year to you all.
I hope you enjoyed the festive break and are easing into the year in a mindful way.
We kicked off The January Pilates Challenge this week which has been INCREDIBLE. I couldn’t believe how many of you have committed to showing up for the live classes. It means the absolute world to see you all on zoom, hear your feedback from the recordings and share the benefits you’re all feeling from only just a couple of classes, so thank you.
If you’d like to join us for the remainder of the month and experience the endless physical and mental benefits of a regular pilates practice, you can sign up here.
Lottie and I are thrilled to welcome lots of amazing clients into our nutrition coaching packages. We cannot wait to continue supporting our wonderful clients (current and new) to feeling their best over the coming months.
We are currently fully booked for January but Lottie is taking Discovery Calls for clients looking to start working together in February, so please do reach out if you’re interested in working together.
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2024.
This week’s recipe: Oat Bread
This super quick, gluten free bread recipe works well with both savoury and sweet additions. If you don’t have oat flour, simply whizz up the oats in a food processor until you get a flour like consistency. I love this toasted with either nut butter, berries and cinnamon or eggs, avocado and kimchi!
Ingredients:
4 eggs, whisked
280g plain yoghurt, runny (I used kefir)
420g oat flour (gluten free if required)
2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 175c and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
Either in a blender or using a hand mixer, whisk the eggs and yoghurt together. In a separate bowl, mix together the oat flour, baking powder and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and pour into the loaf tin. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden.
Leave the bread to cool completely (roughly 30-45 minutes) before slicing.
Notes:
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or slice up to be frozen and toasted at a later date.
Additional Toppings: Grated dark chocolate, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, fresh fruit, dates, hemp seeds, sunflower/pumpkin seeds
Dairy Free: Use a runny, dairy free alternative yoghurt.
What feels good for you when it comes to movement might look completely different to someone else and that’s okay! Finding the activities that YOU personally enjoy is essential in order to make movement a sustainable habit in your routine. No matter what form this takes, whether it’s Pilates, walking, swimming or another form of exercise, as long as you enjoy it, that is the main thing.
Some top tips for making this easier include setting aside time in your diary each day for this the way you would a meeting or social arrangement, having an accountability partner who you perhaps go for a coffee and a stroll with, joining live classes from the comfort of your own home or trying out something new.
What client’s say:
“I cannot believe what a huge difference just one hour with Lottie has made to my mindset around food and movement, as well as how helpful the resources that she shared with me after our session have been.”
The Power Hour is a great option for those looking for some support with kickstarting their journey into being more mindful with their nutrition in a sustainable, non-restrictive way. If you sign up for anything this January, let it be a Power Hour with Lottie!” - JB
