“Charlotte, has been absolutely amazing in my recovery, her wealth of knowledge and personable delivery and support is second to none.

I would highly recommend her.” Nadine R.

“I have been working with Charlotte for the last few months and can’t recommend her highly enough. She has been helping manage my fatigue issues and migraines + plus generally giving me healthy eating and living advice. I’m a 50+ husband, father to 2 young daughters with a busy and stressful job. I feel more alert, energised and weigh less. Thanks to Charlotte I know what to eat and when to eat that works best for me. She provides a tailored advice based on evidence and science which is easy to follow and understand. Her advice has meant I have a healthy eating lifestyle that I can commit to and continue with.” Phil Y.

“Cannot recommend Charlotte highly enough.
After reviewing my food diaries Charlotte made only a few subtle changes to my diet which have made a world of difference - i have more energy, skin complexion improved and thanks to the recipes i have developed a taste for more vegetables and less fatty foods and sugary sweets.
Amazing result considering i didn't seem to making many diet sacrifices and the changes were not burdensome.” Ricky F.

“Charlotte is a pillar of support, a font on knowledge, a pleasure to work with and a total professional. I've never felt, as a client, that someone cares as much for my results as I do but with Charlotte I do. Nothing is too little or big for her to deal with, she responds quickly, kindly and has an answer for everything (in a good way!!). Whatever your obstacles or challenges or health goals are- invest in Charlotte and she'll invest more back into you. She literally saved my life.” Annabel L.

“I wish I had known about Charlotte years ago. She is positive and encouraging every step of the way. She doesn't shame you if you come off plan but instead looks at ways to tweak the plan to make it work for you. Her knowledge of macro and micro nutrients and how they work together to bring health to each individual is amazing. I'm veggie but after just the first meeting Charlotte had put together a brilliant plan with all my favourite things (well, except the doughnuts and Coca Cola) and I'm actually falling in love with food and cooking again.” Ruthanne M.

“I’m very new to this kind of support/way of living, having previously lost weight by going to a slimming club. I decided that that way of dieting wasn’t sustainable and started looking around for something new. I found Charlotte on Social Media and haven’t looked back. Her guidance and support have helped me to fully transition from vegetarian to vegan, she has introduced me to intermittent fasting and also advised me about the right kind of exercise to reach my goal and going forward. Her knowledge is extensive and the support she provides is amazing. I really can’t recommend her enough if you are looking for nutritional advice.” Victoria T.

 High Protein Vegan Recipes #1

Fresh falafel is so amazing and its incredible just what you can make from dried chickpeas. I initially thought it would be a big effort, but they are so easy to make and the perfect go-to convenience food- make up a big batch, put some in the fridge, some in the freezer and you're good to go. It all starts with the humble chickpea! Prepare your dried chickpeas by soaking them in water for 24 hours in a bowl in the fridge

When these are ready, prepare your falafel spice mix. Fry the herbs and spices with around 3 onions properly to get all the flavours out.

Ingredients:

1kg of presoaked (overnight) dried chickpeas

(a tsp of each spice, but you can adjust to personal preference)

Coriander seeds
Cumin (all ground fresh in a pestle and mortar)
Turmeric
Paprika
Baharat seasoning which includes cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin
Fresh ginger
Garlic
Fresh coriander
Juniper berries
Pepper mix
Vegan stock cube

If you can use freshly ground up spices it will make a big difference to the flavour…

Spoon out your spice and onion mixture and blend until you get a smooth, slightly wet consistency but not too wet so you can mould shapes with a spoon (or use an ice cream scoop!) Add more water from the soaked chickpea liquid as you go along to get the desired consistency.

Shallow fry, we worked out around 6 mins at 180 C or until crisp and brown on the outside and Enjoy 

Vegan Low sugar, skin supportive protein shakes

 With so many protein shakes on the market it's not always easy to choose the right one.

The key recipe I recommend is a low sugar, high protein and healthy fat vegan anti-inflammatory shake with nutrients for beautiful skin.

Any sugar even from fructose and fruit sugars will put you on what I call an 'insulin rollercoaster' which will have you craving more sugar.

Here's my recipe, I really hope you enjoy 😊

- Two scoops of Pulsin Hemp or pea protein powder
- Half an avocado
- 1-2 drops vanilla stevia drops
- 1- 2 cups sugar free almond or hemp milk
- a generous amount of omega 3 mix seeds
- turmeric, cinnamon and nutmeg
- half a handful of hazelnuts
- optional: 1-2 dates or for a caramel flavour or half a banana for a higher sugar shake for pre-work out where cardio or resistance training exceeds 30 minutes

I always add an Omega 3 seed mix or add flax seed oil into the mix, since the British Journal of Nutrition found that supplementation of alpha-linoleic acid rich flaxseed oil significantly reduced skin roughness and redness while increasing hydration over a 12 week period, which is quite remarkable! These supplements may also benefit sensitive skin.

An omega 3 seed mix, hemp oil or hemp protein powder are fantastic smoothie editions to supplement yourself with these powerful skin conditioning nutrients.

For this anti-inflammatory shake l, I focused on adding some beautiful and well documented skin soothers. As inflammation along with redness and pruritis is a major hallmark of skin problems in frequent dermatology trials, I thought it would be a fantastic experiment to utilise some of the best known anti inflammatory ingredients, and this shake is creamy, spiced, sweet and delicious! Turmeric, common to Ayurvedic medicine is getting a lot more attention in the western medical field. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric and certain phytochemicals in ginger have been found to be strongly anti-inflammatory.

The addition of avocado not only makes for a super creamy consistency, but The American Journal of Nutritional Science found that avocados increase the absorption of other fantastic molecules such as beta-carotene and lycopene.
