Who says broccoli is boring? There are so many ways that we can make super healthy food delicious and still keep it healthy, in that it is mostly raw to retain all the enzymes which we need for digestion (and pretty much every other function in our bodies). Broccoli is loaded with vitamins and minerals and has anti cancer and anti inflammatory properties.

My Master Worlds Camp that I held last week at the UFC gym in Blue Diamond turned out to be unreal!. There were so many different people from so many different parts of the word who attended. We had people from Europe, Canada, Australia, Mexico and all across the USA. The morning workshops were ladies only and the evening sessions were for both guys and girls. It was a good opportunity for me to be able to teach techniques that work better for women in the morning sessions but then also share the love of BJJ in general in the evening sessions.
The focus of all the sessions were to keep sharp and stay moving. I did lots of drilling and reps for fundamental movement patterns and we discussed points and strategies.
Teaching the ladie's morning session one of my favourite passes.
The evening session had a great turn out of men too. Gone are the days where only men taught. Ladies are out in the front teaching also. Jiu Jitsu is Jiu Jitsu and we can learn from everyone regardless of gender or size.
So many of the peeps who attended went onto compete and medaled at the podium. I am super proud of all of you for getting out there and putting it all on the line!
Stay tuned for more events that I will be holding at the UFC gym... I am excited and grateful for all the opportunities and all the amazing people who cross my path in the sport that we all love.
Fuji girls!
Black and brown belt ladies at my camp!!!

It is always a juggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle when there is so much going on. I am a single mother who is constantly working but I have found a way to make my lifestyle as holistically healthy as possible. This includes, the right amount of sleep, clean eating, moving my body, connecting with nature, getting sunlight and meditating. They are all important for creating that overall balanced, healthy lifestyle. If you eat right and workout but don't get enough sleep or if you sleep enough but have a highly stressful job and have trouble finding time to eat your meals... then your life needs a bit of an overhaul. Finding balance is the key.
We can all enjoy some tasty treats. Over the years I have found ways to make not so healthy food, much healthier by replacing some ingredients with healthier options, eliminating some ingredients that aren't necessary and changing the way food is cooked.
So here is my healthier version of french toast. Firstly I use sprouted grain ezekiel bread that is bursting with so much more nutrients than normal processed white wheat bread that has zero nutrients. Secondly I cut out more of the not so good ingredients. This recipe is so simple and so easy. Here's how.
French Toast with Summer Fruit. (serves 2)
2 slices of sprouted ezekiel bread
1/3 cup of sweetened almond milk
1 egg
1/3 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp coconut oil (for cooking)
2 cups of chopped fresh summer fruit such as mixed berries, banana or mango
powdered sugar (optional)
Mix the egg with almond milk and vanilla essence. Soak the bread in the mixture and add to a pan coated with coconut oil. Cook the toast on one side on medium heat for about 3 minutes and then flip cooking the other side for about 3 minutes. Repeat with the other slice of bread. Chop up the fruit and serve on top of the toast and serve with a tiny sprinkle of powdered sugar.
