How healthy are you eating, really? I asked myse

How healthy are you eating, really?

I asked myself this question today as my daughter and I were out and about shopping, and I needed to eat something. I grabbed a chocolate! 😯

And it got me thinking - how often am I lying to myself about how healthy I am eating?

There is a simple and easy way to know how healthy you are REALLY eating. Just take a photo of whatever you are going to eat. Do it for 7 days. Review your food at the end of each day, and at the end of the 7 days.

You can only change whatever you need to change once you are honest with yourself.

Are you eating healthy? Are you enjoying a variety of fruit and veggies? Are you drinking enough water? Are you achieving 10 portions of fresh, raw fruit and veggies daily?

I am challenging myself to take a photo of everything I am eating and drinking for the next 7 days, and for added fun, I will weigh myself each morning as well and take a photo of the scale reading. Adele, challenge accepted!

Let me know if you are joining me on this challenge!

Green smoothie time, and this Green Energy Super S

Green smoothie time, and this Green Energy Super Smoothie does not disappoint!

The pears provide a lovely sweet taste, while the avocado makes it rich and creamy! The parsley gives it a delicious flavour, and the cucumber adds hydration.

This is really a meal in a glass!

This super smoothie is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Just what you need the morning after the night before.

Here is what you will need:

2 pears
Handful baby spinach
4 stems flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cucumber
1/2 avocado, pitted and flesh scooped from the skin
1/2 teaspoon spirulina, mixed with just enough water to make a thick paste
1-3 Brazil nuts or walnuts

Feed the pear, baby spinach, parsley and cucumber through the juicer. Pour the juice into the blender, and add the avocado and Brazil nuts, and blend on high for about 30 seconds. Pour the smoothie into a glass.

Mix the spirulina with just enough water to make a thick liquid, and then swirl it into the smoothie. Drink slowly and feel the goodness replenish your body and soul!

For too long I have had a love-hate relationship w

For too long I have had a love-hate relationship with food.

I defined health as being skinny, and have tried and done so many diets over the years. I have lost the weight, and as soon as I start to eat 'normal' again, I would gain all the weight back that I lost, and then some! 🍕🍟🍝

Being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2015, I have had to redefine what being healthy means.

No longer is it about whether I can fit into 'those' skinny jeans, or what the number on the scale throws back at me. ⚖️

For me, it is about if I have life energy. I have the energy to play sport, I have the energy to work on my business, I have the energy to have a coffee and chat with my friends. It is about life, and being able to live each and every day.

So, no, skinny does not mean healthy.

I choose me. I choose health. Even if I fit in a larger size jeans! 🧡

Newly designed juice catalogue needs pictures of e

Newly designed juice catalogue needs pictures of each juice! So today is photography and juicing day! It is for my juicing business, @delajuices

This is fun! Making the juice, then doing a setup to photograph it (with the ingredients as well), taking the shot, and then drinking the juice!

The juices I am not drinking, is shared with the family. The shots with cayenne pepper in… well, I gave those to my hubby!
The rest is frozen (always in glass) to enjoy later in the week!

Happy juicing everyone!

Whenever you need to change something in your life

Whenever you need to change something in your life, start by doing the smallest thing, and then do that small thing every day until it becomes a habit.

For example, it is easier to drink medication or supplements each day at the same time than trying to remember to drink it once a week. It is easy to drink a fresh juice ginger shot every morning.

The secret is to make it so small and easy that it doesn't feel like effort.

What is the one small thing you can start today to be healthier?

Today I started the process of photographing each

Today I started the process of photographing each juice in the @delajuices menu. This one is called Raw Energy, as it provides a load of nutrients that helps when you exercise! No wonder this juice is part of the Workout range.

It has apples, beetroot, carrot, cucumber and celery in. The nitrates in the beetroot aids oxygenation, the cucumber provides hydration and the celery boosts sodium and potassium.

Juicing carrots is so easy with the Kuvings Whole

Juicing carrots is so easy with the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer Evo 820.

Carrots is a staple in many of my juices! This root veggie actually contains a lot of juice!

And I use the pulp to make dog biscuits!

We are often too worried about how we look, especi

We are often too worried about how we look, especially in terms of weight. I have been thin, I have been overweight. I have learned it means nothing if you don't have energy.
Without energy, you cannot do anything!
Without energy, you cannot be a friend, a wife, a husband, a mom, a colleague, a leader, a manager, a coach, a player. You cannot do anything if you don't have energy.

While looking great also feels good, in this context, today I want you to focus on how you are feeling. Do you have the energy to live your life, to love the life you are living?

This Chocolate Banana Maca Smoothie is packed with

This Chocolate Banana Maca Smoothie is packed with protein and you will never even know that it has a full serving of greens in it! It is healthy and delicious, and perfect for those days that you are looking for a chocolate-taste treat! You get your veggies and the taste of chocolate all in one! Here is why I love this smoothie:

- Naturally sweetened! No added sugar, just the sweetness of the frozen banana.
- Veggie packed! What a great way to sneak some veggies into your day! This smoothie has spinach in (or even cauliflower of you want to). And the best part? You can't even taste it!
- A protein and healthy fats boost! Nut butter and flax seeds are great sources of protein and healthy fats, which helps to make you feel fuller for longer.

How to make it:
Just place all the ingredients in a blender cup, and blend well with a high speed blender. Pour in a glass and enjoy!

Try it and let me know how you like it!
