This is your reminder to add this Cookie Dough & PB Belter 🥜🍪 to your recipe bank for the warmer months ahead 🌞.

OR if you’re on the other side of the globe ❄️, freeze it and pair it with a winter warmer. Think brownie, warm cookie, or both. Whatever tickles your pickle!

Trust me, this is one you’ll want to save!

What you’ll need:
✅ ½ cup ice (more if you’re freezing it)
✅ 1 cup milk of choice or water
✅ 1 frozen banana
✅ 4 dates
✅ 2 tbsp peanut butter (we went with crunchy PB & cookie dough for the ultimate combo)
✅ 1 scoop protein powder

No protein powder? No worries. Swap it for a protein-rich yoghurt. The texture will be slightly different, so adjust your liquid as needed, but it’ll still help keep those hanger levels at bay. 🧠

For my texture-loving crew: top with crushed peanuts and a lil’ baby cookie for good luck. Enjoy, and be sure to follow along .kelly__ for plenty more nutritious & delicious recipes to come! ☺️

3. The opportunity to educate and connect with 100+ of our members and spend time with our team 👩‍🏫.
4. Being part of our friends’ wedding 💒 day in sunny London.
5. Many minutes spent sitting on the grass, yapping and laughing.
6. The stunning sun🌞!!
7. Continuing to humble me with my DJ hobby 🎧
8. New movement experiences (still not a Pilates princess). 🙅🏼‍♀️

Feeling safe around food, content in your body, and kind in your mind are what you deserve. Not being at war with them all 🫂.

They’re all possible, and they all come back to one daily habit 👉🏻 where you place your mind in the moment. For example:

1️⃣Trusting your hunger cues, learning to stop when you’re full and continue eating (or go back for seconds) when you’re still hungry, comes from practising the habit of mindful eating 🍽️ . Placing your attention on the food in front of you, tuning into your body, and noticing what it’s trying to tell you.

2️⃣Slowing down and tuning into our body, starts with bringing awareness to whether we’re moving through life from a place of autopilot, or whether we’re intentionally bringing ourselves back to the present moment. 🌀☀️

3️⃣And speaking to yourself kindly while releasing shame. That comes back to mindfully catching those thoughts, challenging them by asking, “Would I truly speak to someone else in that way?” and choosing the most supportive thought available. 🧍🏼‍♀️🧍🏾‍♂️

You get to direct that lovely noggin of yours every minute, every day 🧠 . And while it’s not always easy, it’s incredibly empowering ☺️💪🏼.

So I would love to know - how can you bring more peace and into the week? With your food 🍱? Your training 🏋🏼? Your thoughts 💭?

And you’re in the right place .kelly__ for plenty more mindset support!

When we feel stressed, there can be moments where it feels really hard to get out of our heads and into the present moment. It’s not as easy as just “snapping out of it” or “stopping the spiral.” 🌀 🧠

One daily habit that’s simple, fun, and effective is a colour therapy walk 🚶🏻‍♀️🌳

It helps bring you back into the present by shifting your focus onto the world around you instead of the noise inside your head.

What do you do? You can go for as long or as short a walk as you’d like. Your only goal is to pick a colour and scan your environment for anything you can find in that colour.

You’ll be amazed at what you start to notice, and how freeing it can feel to step outside your thoughts in a completely different way 🌞

Save this for your future self to come back to, follow along for plenty more mindset support .kelly__ , and get your loved ones involved too 🤍

One of the amazing things about sport is that there’s always an opportunity to grow and transfer the lessons into life, IF you’re open to it and willing to shift your perspective 🧠🔄👀

For example:
1. Struggling to get a grasp of a new skill or drill 👉🏻teaches you to build patience and delayed gratification 📊. Not everything clicks on day one, and that is something we have to get comfortable with!

2. Walking into class feeling tired, flat, or not “on” 👉🏻 teaches you that showing up at 70% is still showing up. Not every session needs to be “perfect”🫡.

3. A class centred around basics and fundamentals 👉🏻 a lovely reminder that you are never “too good” to clean up your foundations and understand the power of repetition.

4. Being partnered with someone stronger or more skilled 👉🏻 you can either compare and shrink yourself, or let them pull you forward. Get curious about the skills they embody that you have not YET worked on .

5. Feeling like you’re falling behind or make a mistake 👉🏻 teaches emotional regulation. You can spiral, 🌀 or ask for support, and choose to win the next session/rep/shot 🥊🏃‍♀️🏋🏼.

Sport is truly one of the best ways to build humble confidence, again, if you choose to see these little pockets as opportunities to grow and challenge your perspective.

Food for thought for you 💭.

Truthfully, even sitting in 30–60 seconds of silence used to feel unbelievably uncomfortable for me 🌀.

The moment things got quiet, it felt like a million thoughts would rush in all at once, and not all of them were pretty 🧠.

But I realised that discomfort was probably my biggest signpost 👀. It was showing me where my work was. I needed to build the capacity to sit with my own mind for longer than two seconds without reaching for distractions, and learn how to find peace there.

And this came down to one intentional daily habit 👉🏻: creating more white space.

That has looked like:
– Checking in with myself before consuming anything first thing in the morning (even if it’s just 5 minutes)
– Journalling or a few moments of breathwork ✍️
– Eating a meal in silence 🥙
– Walking without a podcast 🚶🏻‍♀️
– Cleaning dishes and cooking without music playing

Micro, 1% shifts!

But it within those moments, your mind starts to gain clarity. You create space for your own voice to be heard, rather than carrying around the constant build-up of noise and stress that naturally accumulates throughout the day. 💻👩🏼‍💻

Stress management lives in the micro moments. It’s not always some big dramatic solution!

And don’t get me wrong, I absolutely still listen to music and podcasts 🎵. It’s not about never doing those things. It’s about what I choose to do most of the time.

So I’d love to know:
How could you create a little more white space in your day this week? 👇🏻☁️

And that’s your food for thought today! Follow along for plenty of more .kelly__

Your Balanced Cookies & Cream Snack Attack/ Breaky to save for your future-self!! 🍪😍

What do you need? (2 servings)
▫️80g old-fashioned rolled oats
▫️20g chia seeds
▫️15ml maple syrup
▫️280ml liquid of choice. I like to use a 50:50 mix of milk and water (half milk, half water) for the consistency I prefer.
▫️5ml vanilla extract
▫️2 Oreo cookies

For toppings/layers:
▫️60ml-120ml of high protein yoghurt (depending on your cookie:cream ratio preferences).
▫️2 oreos, crushed
▫️Extra maple if you have sweet tooth

What do you do 🥣?
1. Crush the Oreos into a zip-lock bag until lovely and crumbed.
2. Grab your dry ingredients first and mix up in a sealable container: rolled oats, chia seeds and fine Oreo crumbs
3. Stir well to evenly combine. Please make sure the chia seeds are fully mixed through before adding liquid to avoid clumping!!
4. Add wet ingredients in gradually and mix: milk/water, maple syrup, vanilla extract.
5. Cover with a lid/foil, and chill overnight, or for at least 4-5 hours.
6. Once it is all set, it is time to put your masterpiece together!! 😍. Divide into two jars or bowls, layering with spoonfuls of protein-rich yoghurt between the oats if desired. Top with crushed Oreo crumbs for extra cookies-and-cream goodness.

Additional notes:
✔️These are best stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
✔️ Want extra protein? Add protein powder to the youghurt to bump it up! 💪🏼!
✔️For any parents who struggle with their kids eating breakfast, this could win them over!!

✅And be sure to save it for your future-self, follow along .kelly__ , and send it to someone who may also lap it up.

Enjoy!

Public speaking and event days always remind me of 2 things 👇🏻

1. We ALL have a story. Including you, reading this 👀!!

Every single one of us has lived through experiences that have challenged us in ways we never expected 🧠. We’ve all faced hurdles we didn’t know how we’d overcome, pain we thought we’d never heal from, and successes we once couldn’t even imagine being possible.

Days like these remind me that while every story is unique, none of us are walking this path alone. We all carry our own chapters, and lessons, and there is soooooo much power in sharing them with eachother. I truly believe that we all have something to teach, and something to learn from one another 🤍. My clients have been some of my greatest teachers in life 🫂!

2. Knowledge is power, but applied knowledge creates autonomy.
Education has always been at the heart of my coaching style 📖🔬. But while learning is powerful, it’s the application of that knowledge, paired with ongoing self-awareness, that truly changes lives.

When I stand in those rooms, yapping my little heart out, brainstorming with clients, guiding them through practical tools ✍️🍫, and witnessing those little lightbulb 💡 moments, it always reinforces why I do what I do (connecting your mind to your body). Because information alone doesn’t create change, it’s understanding yourself and the ‘why’ to support you with taking action 📈.

And what a privilege it is to be in a role that I feel so passionate about. I will never, ever take that for granted! Thank you all for following along on the journey 🤍.

In light of Mental Health Awareness Week, I felt called to open up about a common pattern I’ve identified playing out every time I’ve been at my lowest. 🧠

I know it can be so, sooo hard when you’re in the thick of it, but please make me a pinky promise after hearing this today: don’t suffer in silence in the hope of protecting others. 🫂

Speaking up is one of the most selfless, not selfish, things you can do. You allow your loved ones to step in and fulfil their role, and though it may not feel like it in the moment, you are protecting everyone by asking for help. I promise. 🤍

You were never meant to carry the weight of the world on your own. Check in with your people, let them check in on you too, and please remember: you do not have to earn support. Roger that 👀?

Habit #2 - The one to support consistency! 👀. Am I the only who low-key resist meal prepping? The exact same dish a few days in a row? Respectfully, no…

But similar meals? Love!! Structure? I’d dabble in a bit of a type A personality so absolutely!

So instead I make what I call a little food pick n mix habit 🥗🥔🥑. Where essentially every Sunday I’ll prep:

A few protein options ✔️
Tray bake veggies ✔️
Chopped salad ✔️
Easy carbs + healthy fats ✔️

Then throughout the week I get to plug and play depending on what I’m craving, how hungry I am, and what I’m needing to fuel for.

Wrap one day, bowl concoction the next, and a throw-together plate the day after.

Same ingredients, but different bits and bobs 😅

What supports my nutritional consistency is creating systems that make the healthy choice feel easier and actually enjoyable 🧠🌮.

Curious, are you team meal prep or team ingredient prep? 👇🏻🍴
