The challenge
How about a lovely brunch this Sunday?
Before you start, drink your large glass of lemon water and think about splashing cool — or cold if you can manage it — water over your legs.
We love Sunday brunches, so here are our ideas for a healthy brunch for 4:
• Drinks:
Green tea
Freshly squeezed orange juice
Milk, coffee or hot chocolate
• Fruit:
2 bananas
2 apples
Dried fruit: almonds, walnuts, raisins and chia seeds
1 bunch of grapes
• Food:
4 soft-boiled eggs (or scrambled or fried)
4 slices of ham
Wholegrain bread
Crispbreads
Unsweetened cereal or muesli
Plain 0% fat yogurt
Cancoillotte (one of the lowest-fat cheeses!)
• Accompaniments:
Honey
Jam
Mix and match these foods to create the brunch you love! With the fruit, make a fruit salad or stir it into your yogurt — if you prefer jam, spread it on your bread or swirl it into your yogurt! Try crispbreads with honey and cancoillotte (absolutely delicious) and combine the ham with the eggs! As for the dried fruit, snack on it as it is or sprinkle it over your food.
The key is to vary the flavours and blend savoury dishes with sweet ones. By pairing the indulgences of a continental breakfast (fruit juice, bread with butter and jam…) with dishes more typical of a classic lunch (quiche, cheese…), you’ll enjoy a wonderful spread with family or friends!
>> What is chia?
Chia… Now there’s a plant packed with omega-3s, antioxidants and vitamins! An ideal anti-cellulite cocktail that also helps you look after your figure and your overall wellbeing.

Today’s exercise: The side plank
Yesterday we introduced the front plank — nice and simple. Today it’s the side plank!
With these two exercises, you’ll be well on your way to a flat stomach by the end of the month 🙂
For this exercise, lie on your side, resting on your forearm and foot, with your other arm along your body. Hold the position, keeping as straight as possible and engaging your core. You can also raise one leg, then once it’s back down, rock your hips up and down.
Do sets of 1 minute each, switching sides every time. At least 5 sets — let’s go!
It’s Sunday, so we’re not piling on too much — but for the bravest among you, feel free to follow up with a set of SQUATs.
Today’s pinch-and-roll session
As every day from now on, don’t forget: 20 minutes of the manual method or 5 minutes of the CelluBlue method today for your pinch-and-roll — head back to Day 10. You should be getting really comfortable with the technique by now.
