1. What does healthy eating mean to you?

Healthy eating means having a well-balanced diet that is easy to maintain. Competing in a sprint kayak takes a lot of muscle power and skill so I need to make sure I am fuelling by body well to succeed.

2. What fresh, healthy foods do you need to fuel your day and why is this important for your sport and daily life?

My go to healthy snack is honey roasted peanuts – they are full of long-lasting energy to get through my intense training schedule, and they taste nice, which is also important!

3. What fresh, healthy dish do you enjoy making the most and why?

My favourite dish to make is jerk chicken with rice and corn on the cob. I enjoy making it because it tastes delicious and its simple to make after a long day in training. All I have to do is prep the ingredients and put in all the oven. Then I can go and get changed and by the time I come back, it’s all done!

4. What can make eating well and cooking challenging for you?

Being at University, I have limited facilities for cooking and a very busy schedule. The biggest challenge is fitting in shopping and time to cook around my lectures and training.

5. What helps make eating well and cooking easier for you?

To save time, I batch cook my main meals and always have healthy snacks readily available. This makes it so much easier to balance my time and still ensure I am eating fresh, healthy food.

6. What does healthy, sustainable food mean to you?

To me, food is healthy and sustainable if it doesn’t go off too quickly and is locally sourced. I really appreciate that Aldi always tries to buy British and support local farmers.

7. What are your ‘super six’ fruits and vegetables?

Oranges, avocadoes, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas and onions.
