As a new mum, I'm super keen to hear how pregnant Madeleine is working her healthy lifestyle around that little bun on board! Read on for her thoughts on pregnancy fitness and starting the day in the best possible way...
H: Congratulations on your pregnancy! Have you
changed how your fuel your body now that you’re expecting?
MS: Thank you
so much! I graze a lot more, I am always hungry so I love to cut up a big plate
of fruit or veggies and just munch through it.
What recipes from A Year of Beautiful Eating do
you find yourself craving?
My fave
recipe for sure is my tray-roasted cod, I could eat that every day. I also love
my vegan banana and peanut butter loaf, it’s so delicious!
Have your tastes have
changed? Like, is there anything you used to love and now hate?
I have
always loved fruit and in the early stages of my pregnancy I had a real
aversion – which I was gutted about! Now I’m totally back on it, I absolutely
love snacking on fruit.
How have you modified your fitness routine to
accommodate your bump?
I’m doing
much more slower-paced exercises like yoga and stretching. I’m putting more
focus on strengthening my core and preparing my body for when the baby comes.
What’s your advice to other mamas-to-be when it
comes to eating nutritiously through pregnancy?
I would say
listen to your body. Our bodies are absolutely amazing and they are growing
another little person so it will tell you what it needs.
Are you excited about planning glow-style meals
for your baby when the time comes?
I’m so
excited! It’s going to be really fun coming up with loads of new ideas.
You’re so busy with work… how do you keep your
energy levels up all day?
It’s so
important to have a big breakfast; that would be my tip. I love a nice big
plate of eggs with smashed avo or a veggie-packed omelette.
And do you have any energy-boosting secrets you’d like to share?
Breakfast is my first one – it is so important. Also, carrying little energy-boosting snacks around with you; my raw chocolate peanut butter brownie bites are amazing, you can make a batch of them and graze on them through your busy week.

What recipes A Year of Beautiful Eating would
you recommend to new mamas like me, who want to be healthy but don’t have
much time to cook?
My new book
has loads of delicious one-pot recipes which are great because you can pop
everything in one pan or tray and cook it; without much prep needed.
With summer just around the corner, which
recipe from the new book is your go-to on sunny days?
Summer for
me means time for big bowls of refreshing, colourful salads. I love my Summer
Lovin’ Bowl; it’s packed full of beautiful veggies and so delicious.
