The opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics kicks off on Saturday and I’m hopeful as ever the impact on our younger generation will be positive. Our athletes show dedication, passion and commitment to their training and are fantastic role models to any aspiring athlete. Unless of course, they’re Russian and caught up in the doping scam, utterly shameful behaviour and completely unacceptable…. Don’t even get me started on the main sponsors of the whole event – McDonalds and Coke-a-Cola ??
Our members will be enjoying some olympic themed sessions and challenges throughout this month. A great way to add variety into sessions and create fun competitions to push all fitness levels.
In Season For August
Raspberries, plums and cos lettuce best during August. I particularly like using raspberries for jam. Just blitz in the nutria-bullet with chia seeds and a little honey then keep in the fridge. Easy for using on healthy blueberry scones or mixed in with some Greek yogurt.
Plums are particularly good for helping to visit the bathroom! Try them if going to the toilet is a problem for you.
Cos lettuce – essential for the perfect Caesar Salad. Try this recipe below for an easy summer lunch
Serves 4
Salad
- 1 Small Ciabatta Loaf • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Clove of Garlic
- Sea Salt
- 2 Small Cos Lettuce, washed
- 50g Parmesan Shavings
- 1 x 50g Anchovy Fillets (save the drained juice for the dressing)
Dressing
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 60ml Yogurt
- Dash Tabasco Sauce
- Freshly ground Black Pepper & salt
Directions
- To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl
- Arrange the lettuce in a shallow bowl, tearing any of the larger leaves in half

Makes a great starter or light lunch in the summer, chicken breasts can be added to make a more substantial meal
