METHOD
01 Blend the cookie
ingredients in a food
processor until it
forms a dough, then
refrigerate. Almond
flour is a bona fide
hunger suppressant.
Rinse out your
blender, then blitz
the cream
ingredients
together, too.
02 Form the dough
into 16 discs, then
press eight of them
into a muin tin. Top
with cream, followed
by another
chocolate disc.
Freeze your cookies
overnight, then pack
in your Tupperware
for tomorrow’s pre-
session snack.THE RAW

THE RISE’N’
GRIND SHAK“Fasted training is a great
way to burn fat,” says
nutritionist Matt Hodges, but
it can also awaken an
appetite like no other. Your
hunger hormones spike
when your blood sugar
drops, so mainlining nothing
but whey post-workout could
be what’s triggering you to
overeat. Instead, try stocking
up on glucose with this
smoothie, then let your body
rebalance for 30-50 minutes
before eating.INGREDIENTS
(SERVES 1- Pineapple, 100g
- A kiwi, chopped
- Fresh ginger, grated
- Maple syrup, splash
- Coconut water,
20 0ml
METHOD
01 Chop the fruit,
leaving the skin on
the kiwi for triple
the satiating fibre.
Grate in the blood
sugar-stabilising
fresh ginger.
02 Add the syrup- choose maple
over golden for an
additional source
of antioxidants –
and the coconut
water, then blend,
adding extra water
to achieve the
texture you fancy.
