Recipe from Dr Meghan Brown

Honey & date flapjack

Try out this super quick and easy flapjack recipe! It takes less than 5 mins to put together (simply a case of mixing all the ingredients), and then a 25-30 min bake in the oven…. Voila! What more could you want!? And they are SOOOO tasty! Thanks to the sticky toffee flavours of the dates especially
Packed with lots of good stuff, including that all important fuel – carbohydrates – this is perfect for a pre class / performance snack, or a little bite to keep you going through busy schedules.

Ingredients (makes ~16 slices):
•100g dates, ideally Medjool (pitted & chopped into small pieces)
•125g honey or ~6 tbsp (use golden or maple syrup as alternatives)
•125g mixed nuts, seeds, dried fruit – any work (chocolate chips & other additions could be used too!)
•100g light brown sugar
•125g butter
•200g rolled oats (gluten free works fine too)

Enjoy!

Pre performance nutrition

Competition/performance days often involve travel, being in new environments, early mornings, and chaotic schedules!

So how can you prepare for that!?

This is something we will be discussing in this workshop!

Nutrition and Injury workshop

Nutrition and injury

Unfortunately, pain and injury is common in dance. Though there are lots of factors that contribute to injury risk – like accidents, unsafe environments, fatigue etc – the role of the diet and nutrition is often overlooked! Also, nutrition strategies to support recovery / rehabilitation are not always appreciated!

In this workshop I share the current nutrition requirements and recommendations in the context of injury and recovery
