Roasted Grape Kale Caesar Salad🍇🥬 I wish I could take the credit for this beauty but it’s a recipe from the one and only @ottolenghi - the king of making vegetables cool 🙌🏻✨I made few tweaks, adding fennel which I love and pecans for crunch. If you never roasted your grapes you are missing out! It’s out of this world 👌🏻😋

Kale is packed with vitamins A, C and antioxidants that help support healthy skin and collagen production, while grapes are rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that help protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
Save this one for your next seasonal salad! 🤍

Serves 2 as a side

Ingredients:
1 head of romaine lettuce
2 handful of curly kale - stems removed
1 medium size fennel - sliced really thinly ideally using a mandolin
A handful of pecans or walnuts
400g red seedless grapes
Extra virgin olive oil for roasting
Salt and pepper to taste

For the dressing:

3tbsp Greek yogurt
2 tbsp runny and smooth tahini
The juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp dijon mustard
50g grated parmesan + extra for sprinkling on top
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 anchovies

Add the grapes to a large baking tray and drizzle with some olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together and roast them in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes until soft but still keeping their shape. In a separate tray add the pecans and toast them in the oven at the same temperature for 7-8 minutes. Remove, let cool down completely then roughly chop.
In the meantime add the kale to a large bowl with a pinch of sea salt. Using your hands massaging until it starts to feel softer. To the bowl add in the romaine and fennel.
To make the dressing add all the ingredients into a small blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the kale mix and stir everything together until well coated.
Add in roasted grapes and pecans. Serve with a generous grating of parmesan.

🩰🧑‍🩰”As a professional dancer and a perfectionist, I had spent years learning how to make movement look good, achieve difficult goals and push through challenges. So slowing down and simply noticing could feel surprisingly uncomfortable. There was always a part of me thinking, but what am I supposed to be achieving here?”

Thanks again @_thewelledit and @eleanorhoath_ for the inspiring conversation around Somatic Pilates, why for so many of feeling connected to our body can be so difficult, and how to embrace this slower, explorative way of moving to help shift our nervous system towards calmer states.

👉 Next Somatic Pilates + Myofascial release masterclass at Mortimer House @by_maslows this Saturday.

If you’ve subscribed to The Well Edit and thought I’d ghosted you… I’m didn’t intend to, I’m just wearing a lot of hats right now, and tech manager was never my forte 🫠

Turns out I can balance your blood sugar but not an email automation. Being a ‘founder’ is SO much fun when you trained in nutrition and biomedicine, not business. Juggling everything, fixing tech I don’t understand, and asking Claudette “what is a webhook” at late on a Friday evening with my organic candle keeping me calm!

Here’s what you’ve been missing (and what’s coming to your inbox from now on, I promise):

Yesterday we hosted our biggest RECO HQ event yet 🌟

A full morning dedicated to training, fuelling, recovery, sleep and slowing down. 70+ people. One incredible community.

Our Summer Send Off was designed to be a complete 360 reset as we head into a new season, and yesterday really felt like everything RECO HQ is about coming to life.

We kicked things off with The Full Reset Panel, hosted by our very own @zoekerr13, bringing together some brilliant minds across performance and wellness:

🧠 @drpetertierney on building your training and what actually moves the needle on performance
🥣 @eleanorhoath_, Founder of @_thewelledit, on fuelling, energy and cutting through the noise around supplements
😴 @joshbirbeck, Co-Founder of @sleepgym_ on sleep, recovery and the small changes that make a big difference
🧘🏼‍♀️ @whatsgoodkat, Founder of @yogi.bare & @resette.world, on slower movement and building wellness brands
🧊 And our Founder @emilyhelenhughes on why we’re building RECO HQ around making recovery a habit, not a luxury, and why community is such a huge part of making it stick.

Then it was time to actually put recovery into practice, with ice baths, compression, red light therapy, breakfast, matcha, refreshments, goodie bags and plenty of time to hang out with the community.

A HUGE thank you to all of the incredible brands who helped us bring yesterday to life:
@hyperice @sunlighten.uk @i.am.suki.bains @marchon @newacreswandsworth @perfecttedenergy @eleatcereal @hellonuchu @berkeleyhealthuk @myomaster @sleepgym_ @barebells.uk @aguademadre @foundryuk @thenourishedcore @slowmorningsldn @chrismforde 🩵

And most importantly, thank you to every single person who came down and spent their Saturday morning with us. Seeing so many of you together, connecting, learning and recovering is exactly why we started RECO HQ in the first place.

We’re building the new default social setting for people who care about how they feel.

And after yesterday, we are more excited than ever to get our doors open 🔥

New Acres, Wandsworth Town, we’re coming for you!!

For the latest Living Well City Guide, we’ve asked Eleanor, the go-to person for all things wellness in London, to share the places she returns to for good food, movement, a little downtime and everything in between.

Think favourite Pilates studios, healthy lunch spots, places for a good coffee (and of course matcha), and the London addresses worth knowing - all mapped out through Eleanor’s eyes.

Sweet Potato Yogurt Boats 🍠These are one of my favourite skin friendly treat to make especially when the colder months approach, they are super simple, refined sugar free and they always hit the spot! They have a hefty dose of skin boosting vitamin A + antioxidants from the blueberries 🫐 And baking them like this is the best way to get them super jammy 😋 I promise you, once you try them you won’t be able to stop making them 👌🏻( I bake extra in advance so I can keep them in the fridge)

Ingredients:

2 medium size sweet potatoes - cut in half and skin on
Unsweetened yoghurt of your choice - I used @theestatedairy Greek yogurt
1 cup of frozen blueberries
A generous drizzle of nut butter of your choice - I have used peanut

Line a baking tray with some parchment paper.
Rub the sweet potatoes with some olive oil. Place them face down on the baking tray and bake in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 30-35 minutes until they feel soft.
In the meantime add the frozen blueberries to small pan on a medium heat and cook them down for around 8 minutes until they have a jammy kind of consistency.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and flip them over.
Using a fork mash down the middle slightly. Top them with a generous dollop of yogurt.
Add the stewed blueberries on top and drizzle with the nut butter.

We tend to think of the pelvic floor as something to strengthen after having a baby, and then forget about. But these muscles play a big part in arousal, sensation and orgasm.

What's interesting is that the problem isn't always weakness. For many women, the issue is a pelvic floor that won't let go.

Chronic stress, holding your stomach in and clenching when you're anxious can all leave it permanently "on". More kegels won't help, and sometimes they make it worse.

We're looking at the signs your pelvic floor is overactive rather than weak, and when it's worth seeing a women's health physio.

Thank you @williamcostelloe for inviting me to celebrate what truly is a BEAUTIFUL collection 🤍

Fun fact, my Mum bought me this bag over 10 years a go & there’s something quite funny sipping a matcha waiting for a fashion show in the finance district 💚

Ps; @elevatewellnessuk matcha was worth the wait (and the hype)

Obsessed with my new @merit lip combo 🩷

I have been making this Chicken Meatballs Bowl on repeat lately because not only it keeps me full for ages but also taste incredibly delicious!👌🏻Once you meal prep the meatballs & peppers everything else comes together in absolute no time 😊

Makes about 10-12 meatballs

Ingredients:

For the meatballs

400g organic chicken mince - I use @daylesfordfarm
1 organic egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cup ground almonds
2 tbsp dried herbs de Provence
An handful of chopped basil
Salt & pepper to taste

For the tzatziki sauce:

1 cup greek yogurt or coconut yogurt - I used @coconutcollab
1/2 cucumber
An handful of chopped parsley
The juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic - grated
Salt & pepper to taste

For the rest of the bowl:

2 red bell peppers
Cooked grains of your choice - I used quinoa
A couple of spring onions - finely chopped

Start by cooking the peppers. Cut them in half + remove stalks and seeds. Place them on a biking tray faced down and drizzle with some olive oil and salt.
Roast them in the oven for 30-35 minutes until soft. Remove and let them cool down. Using your hands peel off the skin and slice them into strips.
To make the meatballs add all the ingredients into a large bowl and using a fork mix well.
Shape the mixture into small balls. If the mixture feels a bit wet that’s totally normal.
Heat up some olive oil in a large frying pan. Once hot add in all the meatballs in a single row. Cook the meatballs on each side for 3-4 minutes. If you are not sure the are cooked through you can also transfer them to the oven for 10-15 minutes.
To make the tzatziki sauce simply mix all the ingredients into a bowl until, well combined.
Serve the meatballs with the roasted peppers, quinoa, yogurt sauce and cooked grain of your choice.

The beetroot juice fertility trend, fact-checked.

You've seen the graphic - implantation rates up, miscarriage rates down, beetroot, watermelon and ginger juice versus none, doing the rounds in every fertility corner of the internet.

We asked fertility nutritionist Jen Walpole to actually go through the study behind it. Swipe through for what it does show, what it doesn't, and where she lands on it clinically.

Comment BEET and we'll DM you the full article.

August was holidaymaxing in every sense. But we’ve realised it’s not always a beach or a pool in Europe that actually resets us.

So when Eleanor and Alicia went the other way. Off grid, into greenery, straight to the Alps.

Sweated it out, stripped it back, breathed actual mountain air instead of scrolling. The ultimate green time before screen time.

Comment ALPS and we’ll DM you where we stayed 🏔️
