With the sunshine looking like it’s here to stay, the pre-holiday
pressure is building and the question on all our minds is how are we going to
stay in Rude Health during the summer season; most importantly on
holiday. Expert nutritional health coach, Madeleine Shaw (www.madeleineshaw.com), answers our
questions and gives some valuable tips about being prepared for the holidays.
We love madeleineshaw.com,
especially all the delicious recipes, do you have a favourite recipe you can
share with us?
Yes! My favourite thing is my peanut butter
smoothie at the moment http://madeleineshaw.com/index.php/peanut-butter-and-raspberry-smoothie-workout-healthytreat/. My dad grew
up in Boston and my grandparents still live there. I wouldn’t say I have
adopted the American diet but I do like a few of their combos. Peanut butter
and jelly is one of them. The salt and sweet flavours
just seem to go so well together.
Breakfast is obviously a firm favourite meal of
ours, what are your breakfast staples?
Egg and avocado, or an almond milk (Rude Health,
of course!) avocado smoothie. Smoked salmon takes a big feature too. I love
making breakfast, it really sets the day off right. Never skip or restrict
breakfast as it can have a really negative effect on your eating habits later
in the day.
Eat 3 proper meals
Chew your food
Eat food you love
Make sure you eat lots of veggies
Move your body every day
Be kind to yourself
Laugh lots!
There are constantly new ingredients becoming
available with various health benefits, any top ingredients on your shopping
list at the moment?
Coconut sugar I love! I'm much more into
wholefoods rather than new superfoods, I stick to my basics mostly.
At Rude Health, this is the season for summer
oats, including our new Drinking Oats and our soft and fruity Bircher
Muesli, do you have any favourite summer oat recipes?
I love bircher soaked in almond milk with
cinnamon toasted pumpkin seeds! Perfect for a warm summer’s morning!
With summer holidays looming (hello sunshine!),
do you have any advice for being prepared and staying healthy while on holiday?
Eat local cuisine
Rehydrate with coconut water
Take probiotics
Add chia seeds to your smoothies
Wear a hat!
