Time for some Smoothie Making!

Finally went and picked up my brand new blender from Noel Leeming and I cannot wait to get started on some smoothies and juices. Just so you know I bought this with my Fly Buys points so it literally cost me nothing - so make sure you check your points balance, you never know what you might be able to get.

Went fruit and vege shopping and grabbed all the essentials I wanted to make a large batch. I have bought in bulk so I can make a large batch to last me the week.

After all the chopping, peeling and shaking all about I ended up with this yummo bag of mixed fruit and veg ready for me to make smoothies. (Note: I have made this in bulk for a weeks worth of smoothies in a large snaplock bag however you may want to split up your week and therefore I would recommend splitting the mix amongst smaller sandwich snaplock bags) Its great for me to grab out in the morning as it is nice and cold and gives you a nice wake up call. Check out my recipe below for this amazing mix :)

In this lovely bag of fruit and veg amazingness is:

1 bunch of Kale

1/2 bunch of Celery

2 large Mangoes

6-8 medium sized Kiwifruit

6-8 medium sized Apples

6-8 medium sized Mandarin/Orange

I chopped and diced and peeled and chucked it all in this bag now to make my smoothie please see below:

Milly's Mix Up

1 & 1/2 cups of the fruit & veg from the bag

1 & 1/2 cups of coconut water (or another juice/water)

1 serving of the Clean, Lean, Protein Powder by Nuzest

1/2 cup of ice (optional)

Blend the crap out of this baby and then serve <3

I found this super yummy and it has all the goodness I need to get me through the day.

I'm thinking of trying a berry one tonight and I can't wait, I'm a huge berry fan! What are some of your fav smoothie mixes?

Lots of love,

Happier, Healthier & Fitter

An Apple a Day Keeps The Doctor Away!

It quite literally does! But don't take my word for it check out this awesome little article by Don Tolman.

I love Don and his approach to eating a wholefoods diet. So much of the food we eat nowadays is packed full of unnecessary chemicals and our bodies are paying for it. 

Go check out Don's stuff it is amazing and will totally change the way you think about the food you eat. I am a huge fan of his "Wholefood Medicines" and "MediSins and PharmaceutiKills" books which outline what foods to eat to cure specific ailments and what the pharmaceutical world is actually doing to us. Don clearly shows the faults that are in our medical system and how opting for a wholefoods diet could cure your condition rather than trying to treat it with a plethora of pills and tablets.

It's a great read and I know you will start cutting food items out of your diet straight away. I did, as soon as I found out what margarine was originally created for and the fact that it is two ingredients away from being paint/plastic literally makes my stomach churn. As soon as I found out I cut it out of my diet.

I mean they are literally selling us plastic to eat, you may as well go grab a pot of paint and start having a spoonful. Go check out Don's amazing website (plus I forgot to mention he even has his own range of wholefood cleanses you can buy called 'Pulse'. As well as he also has his own organic toothpaste, deodorants, natural healing agents etc.)

Don't even get me started on what is in toothpaste, but Don's toothpaste is great it made my teeth so much whiter in days - I will admit the taste is a little unusual but better to be unusual than toxic.

These are all my personal opinions and I hope you enjoy them as well as look further into Don's work you won't be disappointed.

Anyone else have any stories they would like to share? I would love to know what other foods people have cut out of their diets :)

Don't forget an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

Lots of love,
