Yes, I'm up there with you in the 'yes, but not since I was younger' department...Often leaving us thinking that now we have stopped we have completely ruined those dreams of becoming a prima ballerina - so instead of trying again we invest in either a gym membership or failing that a VERY big dinner...
Being a self-confessed, health nut I will publicly admit it's not that easy for me to get my protein in. I am allergic to dairy so therefore can't have any whey based proteins and lets face it - that's the majority of the market out there. So, when I have the option to try a new vegan protein powder I get VERY excited. Last week I trialled a brand new range called 'Missfits' - a vegan protein brand. A unique blend of pea protein, crammed with all of the essential nutrients we need for our body to function properly. As most of you know I have been under-going a personal training course so with those long hours spent in the gym I've needed an extra protein burst and this Missfits Sachets have been the perfect option. Filled with added vitamins and minerals you have a great combination of micronutrients needed to stay healthy. My favourite flavour was the chocolate sachet which I mix into my morning porridge oats and the unique coffee flavour - as a coffee addict it gave me the energy to get into the gym and push through a hard workout without so much of a sip of pre-workout! The BEST bit: There's no added sugar so you aren't whacking on the calories or drinking any nasty ingredients - it's completely natural! If you fancy trying Missfits you can order them here,...

Wild Food Cafe is healthy London’s raw, vegan, free-from restaurant hidden in Covent Garden, Vicky reviews. Being a health obsessed vegan, I was excited when Wild Food Café invited me and a friend down to review. Hidden in a quirky part of Covent Garden Wild Food Café boasts a bright blue exterior staircase leading up to their café.  Fairy lights hang from the windows and wooden tables and bars fill the café. An open planned kitchen is positioned at the back of the restaurant showing just how fresh the food is. After being seated at our table we were handed the menu, it was filled with exciting and deliciously unique food options. I was about to ask for the allergy menu when I realised absolutely everything on the menu is vegan, gluten, wheat and refined sugar free. Not one for a burger and fries? Me either, but just glancing at the olive, shiitake and quinoa burger option (£13.20) confirmed I was in my version of heaven. The interior design from Wildfood Cafe The staff were all quirky and friendly and instantly made us feel incredibly welcome and valued. The drinks ranged from organic wines, gluten free beers, smoothies, juices, organic coffees and teas. Kombuca drinks (£3.70) were even on the menu, Kombuca is a probiotic fermented drink that helps aid the good bacteria in the stomach. I may or may not have had one or two drinks the night before, (I did) so I opted for a Kombuca drink, despite never having tried one before. The fermented Kombuca drinks. The Kombuca was pleasantly surprising, it had a lightly fragrant sweet taste that reminded me of a mix between lemonade and soda water mixed with a gentle zingy hint of ginger. It was the freshest and creamiest hummus I have ever tasted To start with we opted for the hummus...
