Wish you were in Thailand?

 Why Trust Us
 

Disclosure

Earlier this year I went to Thailand on a vegan yoga retreat. It was the first time (probably in my life) that I didn’t eat meat for two whole weeks. Did I feel deprived? Absolutely not, the food was amazing. The zero alcohol policy on the other hand was a little more testing. Who goes to Thailand and doesn’t try a Mai Thai?

When I got back to the UK, it was a matter of days before I resumed familiar eating patterns. Blame it on a busy social calendar and work schedule but eating nothing but plants takes quite a bit of planning. And unlike Joe Wicks, ‘prepping like a boss’ evidently wasn’t my forte…

But I have since found a solution with Fresh Fitness Food. A smart food delivery system that does all of the work for you and delivers to your door.

They offer loads of different plans depending on your goal whether you’re trying to lose weight, build muscle or stick to a vegetarian diet. There’s even a specialist package for athletes who need to prepare for competitions.

A nutritionist and chef carefully develop the menus and each is packaged, prepared and delivered through the night whilst you’re tucked up in bed sleeping.

I chose the “Fat Loss” package that came packed inside a cool bag, left neatly on my doorstep. I wasn’t surprised to see a ketogenic style menu with green vegetables, limited starch and sugar and plenty of meat. In fact on a couple of occasions I didn’t manage to finish the meal it was so big!

The best part was how inventive the menu was. Packed with interesting flavours, designed to not only give you the necessary nutrition but taste great.

To celebrate the launch of their new menu, Fresh Fitness Food have shared one of their recipes for you to try at home. (Packages start from £20 per day).

I might not be able to transport you to a tropical beach in Thailand but here’s a little something to whet your appetite…
