Hi guys. Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you what
my family eats in a day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I'm also going to include
my workout routine at the end of this as well. So I hope you really enjoyed it. I also want
to say a huge thank you to HelloFresh for sponsoring this video. There is a very good
discount code in the description, and I'll show you more about them at dinner time, but
with all that said, let's get into what we had for breakfast.
So first off, when Jackson wakes up, he normally asks me for a yogurt and he really likes these
Banana Suckies ones. Here you go, Bubba. Then for the kids' breakfast, they're going to
start out with cereal and because it's Sunday, they're allowed more sugary cereal. When I
was little, I was only allowed a sugary breakfast on the weekend. So they're going to have some
Weetos and then some of them want some Shreddies. So you'll have a bowl of that each and then
I'm also going to make them some pain au chocolat. You may have seen these before on my stories.
We tend to make pastries on the weekend as well. So they're super simple to make, you
just roll them out, add the chocolate, stick them in the oven and they really, really love
them. Again, it's like more of a treat breakfast because it's the weekend.
So it's that easy. They go into the oven for 12 minutes and then come out like this. Then
I also bought this little chocolate shaker, which you normally use to put chocolate on
top of coffee, but I filled it up with icing sugar so now, when we do the pastries, I can
like easily put the icing sugar on top ... and ta-da, the kids will just eat all of these,
like they'll be gone. Then every morning, I always give the boys a little multi-vitamin
as well. Then for my breakfast this morning, I'm just going to have very simple, scrambled
egg on toast. It's nice and easy and healthy as well and I don't know what Matt's having.
He's currently eating some Shreddies, but he normally has pancakes every morning. I'm
going to make my scrambled egg. So we've just got back from Fraser's football
match and the park so now it is lunchtime. For the kids, pretty much every Sunday, they
have beans and cheese on toast, which I know doesn't sound that inspiring and it sounds
like a bit of a student meal, but it's actually such a good, like refuel after football. It's
quite a complete meal. It has complex carbohydrates in it and protein as well and the kids really
like it so I pretty much made that for them every Sunday. It's nice and warm as well,
so it's like a nice hearty meal. I don't know if you guys overseas eat beans on toast like
that. Let me know if you do in the comments below, I'd be interested to hear, but for
me, I'm actually not that massively hungry after all of my scrambled egg on toast and
everything so I'm going to have a protein shake.
I've shown you this before but basically, when I started doing my health kick in January,
one big thing that showed when I started tracking what I eat was that I really did not have
enough protein in my diet. So I've started to supplement with a protein shake, sometimes
for breakfast or sometimes for lunch and it's made a huge difference. So today I'm making
an apple cinnamon chocolate protein shake. So I'll show you how I do it. So for this
protein shake, I put some ice cubes into my little NutriBullet thing and I'm adding in
one peeled and sliced Gala apple. Then I'm also adding in a cup of almond milk. I'm using
this one here and I put it into this little measuring cup, which I actually got from Anthropologie,
I think it's so cute. So I'm adding that in. Then I just add in a big scoop of my protein
shake. This is the Whey Chocolate Smooth Protein Shake from Myprotein and a little scoop like
that will give me 23 grams of protein. So it's quite a lot for like, for my intake
today and then I always added like a little bit of cinnamon just 'cause I really like
it and I feel like when I add that in with the apple, it tastes a bit like apple pie.
So that's it and then I just whiz it up and then that is going to be my lunch for today.
So there you have it. That is my lunch today so I'm just going to like walk around drinking
this now and I should update really, I've drunk one big liter of water and now I'm on
to the second one. So tonight for dinner, we're having one of
our HelloFresh meals and we tend to order a HelloFresh box with three different meals
in it for four people and that will feed our entire family. If you don't know what HelloFresh
is, it's a flexible subscription box. So they deliver all of the freshly sourced quality
ingredients to your door and they tell you exactly how to make it with their very easy-to-follow
recipe cards and it's just the easiest way to meal plan and we love using their service.
Their meals also start out from just £3.25 And as I said, they use fresh, seasonal produce
and from local British suppliers whenever possible. So tonight we're making a Mango
Chutney Glazed Spiced Chicken Breast and this week we also ordered a surf and turf and a
Roasted Pepper and Aubergine Linguine, but there's literally so much choice on the HelloFresh
website. There are 35 different recipes to choose from each week so there's something
to suit everyone and different dietary needs as well.
They also vary the cooking times to suit every lifestyle. I just love how all of the ingredients
come pre-proportioned out so there is very little wasted. Once again, HelloFresh have
said that you guys can have an amazing discount. So if you want to try it out for yourself,
I'll put that link in the description down below and my code is going to be EmNorris50,
and that will get you 50% off of your first HelloFresh box and then a further 35% off
of your next three HelloFresh boxes, so you can test it out for yourself. You can see
how easy it makes you a life, but with all that said, I'm now going to make this chicken
for the whole family. Okay so, tonight Matt is actually going to
make the dinner. He loves to cook and it suits me because then I can hang out with the kids.
So as I said, we're making a Mango Chutney Glazed Spiced Chicken Breasts with cumin,
bulgur wheat and roasted carrots. So I don't normally cook with bulgur wheat so it's something
new for us, but the kids actually really love rice and they love couscous so I think that
they will like this as well. So first off, Matt is prepping all of the vege. He's finely
chopped the red onions and put them into a frying pan to soften. Then he's roughly cut
up the carrots and he's sticking them onto a baking tray with oil, salt and pepper, and
then he's going to roast them in the oven. Then he's going to put some natural yogurt
into a bowl and then we also had mint leaves come with this meal so he's going to pull
off the mint leaves and finely chop them and basically the yogurt and the mint leaves are
going to be a topping on top of this dinner. It was actually really nice.
Then he's got the bulgur wheat on. I don't think he filmed that. Then he added some grated
garlic and the softened onion with some ground cumin and water as well to the bulgur wheat,
to give it loads of flavor and you're just going to let that boil through. Then for the
chicken, he's adding some pasanda seasoning and oil into a bowl, and then also seasoning
it with salt and pepper. Then he's going to put the chicken breasts into the bowl, and
then he's going to heat up a frying pan and put the chicken into the pan until it's nice
and golden brown. So I think it was like four minutes on one side and then flipped it and
did another four minutes on the other side. Then put the chicken onto a tray and stuck
that into the oven so that it would cook through for like a further 8 to 10 minutes.
Then, as you can see, he's adding on the mango chutney that came with it and that is like
the secret ingredient because it made it really nice and sweet. Then Matt is just plating
it up for the whole family so everyone's having a little bit of bulgur wheat, the roasted
carrots, and then the chicken on top as well. So he sliced it like this for us and then,
obviously, we cut it up a lot smaller for Jackson and Caleb as well. Then he's just
going to put it on top of everything and then top it with the yogurt and the mint if people
wanted it. Obviously, I did. That is it, a delicious dinner and it was quick and easy
to make and healthy as well. So for dessert, I'm going to have two Oreos
and the boys each had one of these, it's like a little Kit Kat, but it's actually got honeycomb
inside. All of the boys are in bed now as well and Matt is just meal prepping for the
week. So every Sunday night, Matt will make his vegan pancakes for the week so that every
morning, he just needs to put it in the toaster and then that is your breakfast with your
grapefruit and your berries.
'Cause I'm not good in the morning, am I?
You're not a morning man, are you?
No, I'm not [crosstalk 00:10:20]
I think I've shown it before. This is the Fearne Cotton pancake recipe, isn't it?
I'm not a vegan by the way.
You just like these pancakes.
I just like pancakes.
So-
And one banana, 300 ml of oat milk, 80 grams of flaxseed, 90 grams of spelt flour, and
two teaspoons of baking powder.
Ah.
You can tell I've made them before.
Yeah, yeah. And then what, you whiz it up? What have you done in there? Whoa.
So anyway, Matt is going to fry up those pancakes now and then put them into Tupperware, and
then he'll have that for the week. I forgot to update on my water intake. I try to drink
three of these a day, which is three liters. I try to have one before noon, one in the
afternoon, and then I've had about that much since about four o'clock. So I've had that
and then probably like a couple of teas today as well. Anyway, that is everything in terms
of food. I'm now going to insert my workout routine so for those of you that are interested
in seeing that, that is coming up now. Okay guys. So I'm not going to do my little
workout for the day and I've got my water here to drink while I do it and because it
is Sunday, I didn't want to spend like an hour lifting weights or anything like that.
I pretty much want to spend the day with the kids so I'm just doing a 10 minute core blast.
So you do different exercises for like 30 seconds each and you do it for 10 minutes.
So I'll show you the positions that I'm going to do. It's super simple. You can pause it
and do it with me if you want to. But I get my little workout on an app that I use and
she just puts workouts on there for me. Three times a week, I have 45 minute workouts so
they're like a bit longer, but they're also less intense. They're more like just lifting
weights while I'm watching TV and stuff, nice and slow.
So today, it's just a 10 minute blast and then I'll just feel like, at least I've done
something and then I still always try to reach my 10,000 steps a day on a little step counter
and this really motivates me to move that bit more. But yeah, let's do this.
First up, lying single leg raise. Reverse crunch for 30 seconds. Rest for 15 seconds.
Spiderman plank for 30 seconds. Cross body mountain climber for 30 seconds. Heel tap
for 30 seconds. Russian twist for 30 seconds. Rest for 15 seconds. Plank hip twist. Plank
jacks for 30 seconds. Rest for 15 seconds. Flutter kick. Ab crunch for 30 seconds. Planked
push-up for 30 seconds. [inaudible 00:13:59] for 30 seconds. Bird dog for 30 seconds. Bicycle
crunch. You're done in 3-2-1. Rest for 15 seconds. Single leg drop. V twist for 30 seconds.
Yeah so anyway, that is it for this video. I really hope you enjoyed seeing what we eat
in a day and my little workout routine, as well. As I mentioned earlier, that discount
for HelloFresh will be in the description down below, and I'll see you in my next one.
Bye guys.
