Smoothie of the day

I am having lots of smoothies at the moment. They are an easy and delicious way of having lots of fruit and vegetables. Also my little one enjoys them too - so its doubly good for me as I am eating healthily for my detox but also helping her hit her 5 a day targets as well. This morning's was delicious!




Smoothie of the day.

2 cups frozen summer fruits
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries,
1 Kiwi - peeled and sliced
1 banana - peeled and sliced
1/4 honeydew melon peeled and chopped
3 tsp Aloe Vera Juice
1 cup of water (to thin texture)

The method is easy - stick it in your whizzer and whizz away. I use water to thin rather than juice as I am trying to avoid too much processed stuff for the detox and fresh is better. Sometimes I thin it a bit more for my little one who is not so keen on the super thick texture as me!

Breakfast this morning was lovely - so lovely in fact that my little one stole ALL of the honey dew melon I had sliced for us to share - so I had to go back for more. She also chose the seeds we had this morning. Munchy Seeds Original Mix (as pictured in the dish) its a mixture of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds in thier special sauce. Lovely.

First things first.... I have started over the last few weeks  - every morning - having a "tea" made from hot water, a slice of lemon and a slice of fresh ginger root. This is supposed ot be a great way to start your body off every morning - not just in detox phase. Its also good for healthy Gallbladder function which I need to think about right now. Hot water is aparently better to get your body rolling than cold. I'll be trying to remember to stick to it!
