ReeFit: Shepherd's Pie Made Healthy by Miss Nutritionist

As part of ReeFit before Christmas, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Rosie Millen, AKA Miss Nutritionist! Look we dressed the same!!!

With Miss Nutritionist

When we met, Rosie offered to help add some enjoyment back into my diet. After I completed my detox, I began to fall into a slightly boring routine and it needed a bit of a shake up.

Rosie said she could transform my fave meals into real healthy options. So I chose Shepherd's Pie which I love!! Here is the Miss Nutritionist version - it's so yummy that I thought I'd share it with you!
