Spa+Clinic Team Adeline Er is SPA+CLINIC’s new Social Media Manager & Content Creator; a highly impressive and motivated all-rounder who until recently was a full time chartered accountant and then media marketing analyst who decided to follow her personal passions and work for herself as a wellbeing, nutrition, fitness and beauty website editor, blogger and social media (notably Instagram) powerhouse.
We’re just wondering if there’s anything she can’t do …
Several mornings a week she is a personal trainer for a free community fitness program in Sydney, then goes off to train herself … and then gets down to work!
She is a great advocate of meal prepping to promote optimum health, time- and money-saving. Here she shares her big favourite, Chicken Mexican Salad.
“This six-ingredient salad has been a huge favourite of mine of late – packed with flavours (thanks to the coriander and red onion), super delicious and extremely quick and easy to make,” she says.
“Top it with your favourite protein of choice (I have been using poached chicken because it’s healthy and takes no effort to cook!). Et voila – a complete and balance meal ready to go!
“I make this in bulk, because, ain’t nobody have time to make this every day!”
