Body coach Joe Wicks' 'simple and healthy' breakfast muffins
The 39-year-old said his simple morning dish takes only 20 minutes to make - here's everything you need to know
Joe Wicks has shared a delicious breakfast recipe with fans —and it's surprisingly quick and easy to make. The 39-year-old body coach said his dish tastes good either hot or cold and could even be popped in a lunchbox.
"Quick, easy, simple and healthy," he wrote in a recent Instagram post. "But don't do what I did and overegg it. They will rise & they will get ya. These tomato, spinach and mozzarella breakfast muffins taste amazing.
"I baked them for 20 mins at 180°C. They taste so good hot or cold in a lunch box too." For anyone keen to give Joe's dish a try, he recommended grabbing the following ingredients:
Six eggs
A handful of fresh chopped spinach
Some sliced baby tomatoes
Some fresh basil
Mozzarella cheese
Sprinkle of salt and pepper
To start his recipe, Joe first whisked six eggs in a bowl before adding a handful of chopped spinach, sliced baby tomatoes, and fresh basil. He then mixed in some delicious Italian mozzarella, with a touch of salt and pepper for flavouring.
In a video tutorial, he added: "Lightly grease some muffin tins with some oil or a bit of butter, fill them up [and] put them in the oven." Joe baked his egg muffins for around 20 minutes at 180°C.
Though they may not have looked as beautiful as he hoped, he stressed that the taste was 'amazing'. "There you go, that is delicious, simple, homemade tomato, spinach and mozzarella breakfast muffins," he said.
"They taste very hot - obviously out of the oven - but they are also really yummy wrapped up in a lunch box, eaten later on in the day. So, yeah, win. Enjoy."
Besides their delicious taste, Joe's breakfast muffins include several healthy ingredients, too. Spinach is an especially renowned nutrient powerhouse, lauded for its potential blood sugar perks.
Helen Bell, a nutritional expert at Help & Advice, previously told the Express: "Spinach is indeed known for its potential benefits in managing high blood pressure.
"It is rich in nitrates, which can help dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. I have often recommended incorporating spinach into diets for individuals looking to manage their blood pressure naturally.
"Aside from this, spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium. Its antioxidant properties make it beneficial for overall health and well-being."
Meanwhile, eggs also boast a hefty amount of protein and may even benefit anyone on a weight loss diet. In a separate conversation, Helen added: "In my experience, consuming eggs as a snack can actually be quite beneficial for weight loss. Eggs are high in protein, which helps to increase satiety and keep you feeling fuller for longer.
"This can reduce the overall calorie intake throughout the day. But, it's important to watch portion sizes and prepare them in a healthy way, like boiling or poaching, to avoid adding unnecessary fats."

Ex-Loose Women Saira Khan credits 'glowing skin' to one food
The former Loose Women star, 55, opened up about the 'simple' but 'nourishing' item in a social media post Saira Khan has highlighted the potential benefits of a surprising food she enjoys roasting until 'golden and caramelised'. The 55-year-old former Loose Women star asserted that such items are game-changing for glowing skin and are very affordable to buy. "Hasselback butternut squash—simple, nourishing, and ridiculously good," she said in an Instagram post this week. "Thank you to @cotswoldtravellingkitchen for the recipe and inspiration! "Started with a butternut squash, sliced it Hasselback-style (thin cuts, but not all the way through), brushed it with olive oil, sprinkled some seasoning, and roasted it until golden and caramelised. "The result? Soft, buttery squash with crispy edges—the perfect balance of texture and flavour. But here's the best part: cheap, easy, and packed with goodness. Butternut squash is loaded with vitamin A for glowing skin..." Crucially, Saira isn't alone in her thoughts. Specialists at the Cleveland Clinic also assert that vitamin C and beta-carotene, two other nutrients in squash, are especially beneficial for skin health. Some research even suggests that higher vitamin C intake may be linked to a lower likelihood of wrinkles. READ MORE: Andrea Mclean looks 'permanently dishevelled' with symptom after pneumonia Butternut squash isn't the only variant with possible benefits either. Winter, buttercup, and even spaghetti squash are among several types, all with different qualities. Registered dietitian Amber Sommer previously told Cleveland Clinic: "Nutritionally, butternut and acorn squash are arguably the overall [most valuable players], but it's by the slimmest, most subjective of margins. However, don't worry about choosing the healthiest squash. "Instead, choose the ones that taste best to you and try to eat a variety to get the most benefit from eating squash." Saira's insights come shortly after her life completely changed during a two-week fitness and yoga holiday. The TV star said it allowed her to recharge and kickstart significant lifestyle changes, while nourishing herself with the 'right foods'. "For the last two years, stress slowly crept into my life, settling deep within my body in ways I didn't even recognise at first," Saira wrote in a previous Instagram post. "I exercised. I ate what I thought was healthy. But I was also in denial—denial about the refined sugar I was consuming, about the way I was stuck in the exhausting cycle of exercising just to eat. "I blamed fat when in reality, what my body was screaming for me to see was inflammation. No amount of meditation, walks, or attempts at relaxation seemed to break through the invisible wall keeping me from truly healing. "My body bloated despite my efforts, weighed down by the stress and the silent choices I wasn't fully admitting to myself. Then, these last two weeks at @juicemasterretreats changed everything." Saira eliminated refined sugar, meat, and caffeine as part of her overhaul. Rather than focusing on losing weight, she aimed to 'reset' and alleviate the stress that had troubled her for so long. She continued: "And now, I see it. I feel it. I am here, and I got exactly what I came for—peace, healing, and the clarity that comes when you finally listen to what your body is trying to tell you. "Thank you @jasonvale for creating magic and always being so kind and generous to me."

Passengers in aeroplane window seats urged to do one thing before boarding
A dermatologist has weighed in on the viral TikTok video that suggested people in the window seat on a flight should be wearing sunscreen - here's what she had to say The coveted window seat on a plane is often the go-to for travellers, particularly during long-haul flights when a bit of shut-eye is on the cards. A TikTok user by the name of FindingFiona has recently sparked a conversation by suggesting that those who snag the window spot should slather on some sunscreen while in the air. Her advice comes off the back of reports indicating that people are more vulnerable to sun damage at higher altitudes. "Even though you're inside the aircraft, because of the high altitudes, you're actually experiencing stronger UV radiation, especially if you're in the window seat," she said in her video post. Dr Elizabeth Jones, an assistant professor of dermatology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia offered her point of view, reports the Express. While Dr Jones acknowledges that the "true risk" to infrequent flyers is likely minimal, she pointed out: "People who are flying occupationally, they're going to be exposed much more to ultraviolet light given - especially if they're in the cockpit - the size of the windshield." She also noted that airplane windows are designed to "block out most of the UVB rays", which are one type of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) emissions. These particular rays fall into the medium wavelength category, nestled between the longer UVA and shorter UVC rays. It's these UVB rays that are chiefly to blame for sunburn and have the potential to harm skin cell DNA, thereby heightening the risk of skin cancer. Dr Jones has warned that aeroplane windows don't fully block out UVA rays, which can cause premature ageing, wrinkles, and potentially even skin cancer. As Yahoo! Life reports, she explained: "Some of the older windows block out about 50% of UVA rays and some of the newer models are more effective at even blocking out UVA." The Cleveland Clinic highlights that UVA light is primarily linked to long-term skin damage like wrinkles, and may contribute to certain types of skin cancer. It's advised to wear sunscreen on a plane as it can shield you from these harmful rays, which another skin specialist says can penetrate "more deeply into the skin". Furthermore, a dermatologist from U.S. Dermatology Partners Tyler in Texas cautions that exposure to these rays can put travellers at risk of developing various forms of skin cancer, including melanoma. Certified dermatologist Dr Danny Guo emphasises that UV levels at high altitudes are significantly stronger than on the ground. As reported by Conde Nast Traveller, he stated: "There is a 2% increase in UV radiation per 1,000 feet increase in altitude. "Given that the average flight is around 30,000 to 40,000 feet in altitude, this is a 60-80% increase in UV radiation levels compared to the ground". Dr Mamina Turegano added that repeated skin damage accelerates signs of skin ageing, such as hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and wrinkles. She pointed out a 2019 meta-analysis that discovered airline pilots and cabin crew are approximately twice as likely to develop melanoma and other skin cancers, compared to the general population. However, it's crucial to remember that most of this evidence was collected several decades ago, and its relevance to current risk levels is unclear. In conclusion, if you find yourself next to a window on a long-haul daytime flight, it's wise to apply some sunscreen. On the other hand, if you're in an aisle or middle seat away from direct sunlight, it's less essential but still not detrimental. Pondering over which sun protection factor (SPF) to opt for? The NHS recommends not solely relying on sunscreen for sun protection. It's also important to consider appropriate clothing and seek shade during the sun's peak hours. When selecting a sunscreen, ensure the packaging includes: a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 to protect against UVB at least 4-star UVA protection Also, always check that the sunscreen hasn't expired.
