New series | Food Friday

Hey girls, I hope you're all well.

This week I decided to start a new series on this blog, (mostly to help me stick to some sort of schedule) called Food Friday. I chose Friday for 2 reason, 1) for the allitteration, I mean it sounds cool, right? and 2) because Friday's are probably my most varied days diet wise.
If you follow me on Instagram (Username: BritishRandomness) then you'll know how much I love healthy eating, I am always Instagraming my food (which I will still be doing) but I wanted to share with you all my diet in a bit more detail.

For my breakfast I had the Tone It Up protein pancakes, but I didn't use the Perfect fit protein, because the shipping to the UK is ridiculously expensive, so instead I used a different one that I can't remember the name of. I will find out and edit this bit a bit later on.

The for my lunch I was hungry and almost forgot to take a picture (oops) Anyway I had a Sour and Chive New York bagel with a light cheese spread from Asda. This is the first time I have tried a bagel, and ohmyword, these are amazing! I also have the wholegrain ones too, and once I have tried them out I'll let you know what I think (most likely on Instagram)

A bit later on I got a bit hungry and wasn't sure when we would be having tea so I grabbed a pear and an apple. I ended up not eating the pear, because it wasn't ripe enough. You know the texture you get in your mouth after eating a still green banana? Well it was like that but 5x worse, I just couldn't finish it. But it was ok, because not long later my mum told me to start preparing my tea.

Every Friday we have pizza, but because I am all about clean healthy eating, I made the flourless pizza from blogilates, and then had 2 slices of garlic bread because everything is ok in moderation. I'm not someone who likes topping on their pizza, I mostly like the sauce, so there is almost half a jar of tomato and garlic pasta/pizza sauce on my pizza with a little bit of light mozzarella. I like this pizza, but the base definitely is not pizza tasting. You can't cut it into slices like you can with a normal pizza, it just doesn't stick and I have made this 3 times, having the same results each time. But if you slather it in toppings, then it's gorgeous. Actually I think it's gorgeous anyway, so I do recommend you try it out.

On a Friday we tend to watch a movie, so we have cookies, and some cake, and I also like to try out a healthy recipe for a cake I have found. This week I re-tried a recipe that I tried last week, but modified it. The recipe is the Beetroot chocolate fudge cake from the Cook Yourself Thin recipe book. I didn't like it with the beetroot so took that out this week, I also didn't add the coffee because my mum can't have coffee, or make the topping. I liked this, I do recommend you try it out. If you try it without any modifications let me know how you liked it? And if you did modify it, how, and how did it work out for you?

I  didn't eat anything else. Looking back on this it doesn't look like I ate much, but I just wasn't that hungry today, which is strange because I am always hungry. Maybe next week I'll have eaten more

What did you guys think of this post? Did you like it?  Do you think it's a worthwhile post? I always love getting feedback from you guys, because you are the ones reading these, so I want to make sure you like what you're reading.

Have a beautiful day

P.S. This is supposed to be posted on a Friday night, but as I was writing it, my laptop switched itself off, and is kinda slow to load back up; so I am very sorry that this is late, hopefully  it won't happen again. I do have a post planned for today, so check back later for that. Also follow me on Bloglovin' to keep updated. This was a really long P.S., I'm sorry.

  1. I love the idea of Foodie Friday! Well anything to do with food really! I like the look of the sour cream and chive bagels, I will have to check those out. Hopefully we may get more sun in the UK soon so fruits like strawberries may be more on the cards!

      Yeah, I know how you feel. I love strawberries, but they just taste so much better in the sun :)
