Hello!
Today I have some fabulous food to share with you from yesterday, as well as some sneak pictures of my new bike! I was finally able to pick it up from the bike shop yesterday and took it out for a spin up to Bushy Park and back.

I need to get used to the very different riding position and balancing such a light bike (I can pick it up with one hand!) and generally stopping and starting is a little wobbly at the moment, but I’m sure that will improve. I love love love how easy it is to ride fast (or it felt fast to me!) and the gears are so easy to use. Plus it looks pretty sexy 😛
Anyway on to the food! As always head over to Peas&Crayons with Jenn for some more mouthwatering photos…
Breakfast – Scrambled eggs with raspberries
Lunch – Spicy chicken with mango and peas and sweetcorn
Afternoon snack – Apple with cashew butter *

I went for my bike ride after work and had a second snack in Bushy Park in the sunshine watching all the other cyclists, walkers and runners enjoying the evening. It was lovely. I ate a slice of carrot protein cake which I whipped up at the weekend – recipe to follow!

Dinner – Pan fried salmon with green beas and peas
Evening snack – 4 squares dark chocolate with ginger with a Yogi chocolate chilli tea. A great combination 🙂
*This may have replaced almond butter and peanut butter as my favourite nut butter of all time! I need to buy a bigger jar next time, I got through this one in 4 days – oops!
Any tips for getting used to my new road bike? What are your favourite snacks for exercising?

I just bought some of the new meridian cashew butter- I have not opened it yet as I don't want too many jars to be open at once, and have pb and almond butter on the go! Carley's do great nut butter too- their rainforest one with brazil nuts and cashews is amazing 🙂
