About a week ago I decided to cut out coffee for a few weeks, I don’t think there is anything wrong with coffee as long as you tolerate it but I felt like I was relying on it a bit too much and wanted to give my body a break. So I’ve been trying some alternatives to coffee in the morning, like Chai, Rooibos, Earl Grey other herbal tea varieties and things like warm water with ACV or lemon juice and a little honey to sweeten.

I recently came across a drink called ‘Chia Fresca’ and while I had head of people adding chia seeds to water and drinking it, I didn’t realise this drink had an actual name. Turns out that this drink hails from Mexico! When I saw this post I knew I wanted to try it out for myself so I came up with this quick and easy to make ‘Ginger Lime Chia Fresca’. This drink is nice and refreshing and a great pick me up in the morning! [Read more…]

I can’t wait to have it all ready to share with you! [Read more…]

Just wanted to share this quick smoothie recipe with you. It was something I just threw together and well it turned out YUM so here it is….

Carrot Smoothie

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk.
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced.
  • 1/2 frozen banana.
  • 1 tbsp almond butter.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon.
  • Pinch of nutmeg.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  • 1/4 tsp coconut butter or you could use coconut oil.
  • Raw honey/maple syrup for sweetening.
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish).
Method:

Place all ingredients except for the toasted coconut flakes into a high-powered blender like a Vitamix and blend! If you’re using a regular blender then grate the carrot before adding it in. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top if you like.

Enjoy!
