  • Isn’t @spiceroutepaarl the best place ever??? We love spending an entire day just doing EVERYTHING they have to offer: coffee, ice cream, beer, wine, gin, gorgeous views, and gorgeous food! . Your belly will be full - but totally happy✨ My advice is to head through early, and laze on the grass between tastings to give your tummy some time to make space😝 . . . . . #capewinelands #sundayfunday #spiceroute #capetownfun #thingstodoincapetown #winetasting #winelover #winefarms
  • Weather is getting chilly I know - but today was so nice and toasty, I decided to make a little cold brew using my fave local coffee @mikro_coffee_co☕️🙌🏻 . How I made it: - add 1 cup coarse ground coffee to a large glass jar then add 4 cups cold water - close jar and allow to steep overnight - next day, filter out coffee by passing the coffee through a cheesecloth - pour coffee over ice, and add whatever flavorings you like! I love adding a teaspoon of vanilla and 6 drops stevia for sweetness. Milk is completely optional😉 . Have a rad Monday✨ . . . . . #coffee #coffeeaddict #coffeelover #mikrocoffee #hermanus #bestbrands #favecoffee #coldbrew #blackcoffee #capetowncoffee #blackgold

  • All I need sometimes is a good chicken dinner recipe that’s easy, healthy and delicious👌🏻 . For me, it’s stuffed chicken variations👉🏻 like these easy hasselback chicken breasts! . Just cut a few slits not all the way through and stuff with peppers and onion 👉🏻 bake for 15 minutes 👉🏻 then top with a little mozzarella and Parmesan 🔥believe it or not, you can still have cheese and stay healthy by just controlling portion sizes 👉🏻 here it’s about 15g of mozzarella and a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. . For a little video of the recipe, click the link in my bio for the full shpeel🙆🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #fitnessfood #chickenrecipe #healthydinners #stuffedchicken #dietfood #weightlossfood
  • WORKOUT WEDNESDAY 💪🏻 . Hard to believe, but it takes more than one day a week to get into MAD shape🙄 Not that I’d say I’m in mad shape, but I’m really proud of my consistency and dedication over the past 2 years. . 👉🏻 haven’t been on a diet - which is amazing because I used to be a huge victim of yoyo dieting 👉🏻 I’ve been working out consistently with whatever I have available, gym or not 👉🏻 Been eating healthy and without feeling guilty about anything so-called BAD like beer, pizza, burgers, chocolate - moderation has been such a challenge! . And my body hasn’t been this happy in ages! Fulfilled, healthy and happy! . Have an awesome week guys!✨ . . . . . #workout #workoutwednesday #workouttips #workoutprogress #fitnessprogress #getfit #capetownfit #balancedlifestyle

Wooohooo🙆🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #plasticfree #zerowaste #marketday #capetown #capetownmarkets #zeroplastic #wastefree #healthybaking #healthybakingmixes
  • There’s just something about being a tourist in your own city... . How many of us actually do these things in Cape Town? Like go up Table Mountain or get your face painted at Moyo? Funny how we dismiss these things as too Touristy sometimes - but maybe it’s good to indulge in cliche every now and then😜 . Maybe give it a go in your own city🤷🏼‍♀️ Just a thought😜 . Happy Wednesday guys😘 . . . . . #wednesday #wednesdaywisdom #wednesdaythoughts #capetownlife #capetownliving #capetowngirl #moyo #facepaint #africanfacepaint
  • Nothing like a good spread of fresh fruit, creamy yogurt and crispy granola in the summertime ☀️ my all-time favorite healthy breakfast option (that is, if you have granola that isn’t packed with sugar like the shop-bought stuff) . Some things you should know about granola: 👉🏻 shop bought is usually packed with sugar (so it tastes amazing, but just be weary). This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, for example when you are highly active and not insulin resistant. 👉🏻 granolas are usually very energy dense, so should not be consumed like other cereals (2 cups with a little yogurt or milk). You might be shocked that your breakfast bowl ends up being about 1000 calories😱 Instead, sprinkle granola over fruit and yogurt to add crunch - a serving 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup. High energy density is often due to addition of sugar, fat or when granola contains nuts and seeds. 👉🏻 granola is delicious! And incredibly versatile - think granola bowls, shakes, energy bites, granola bars, desert crumbles✨ . This granola is from @nakdorganics - with ZERO unhealthy additives (you can shop the link in bio)🔥 . Let’s get the week going! . . . . . #granola #granolabowl #breakfastbowl #breakfastlover #breakfastplate #gloobyfood #myplate #healthyfood #capetown #foodblogger
