Spiced Pear and Apple Protein Smoothie

I wanted to share with you a wonderful protein smoothie because it’s a light and refreshing snack, perfect for a warm summers day.

As you peel the fruit, make sure you eat the skin because it’s also packed with added nutrition and fibre. Because this is a raw food snack packed with a healthy balance of protein and carbohydrates, you will get a huge healthy pick me up from drinking this once or twice a week.

I use Pulsin’ Whey Protein Isolate in my protein drinks because it is one of the best quality proteins available on the market today. Their whey is produced from from grass fed cows that have been reared without hormone treatment and is 100% vegetarian. It also contains no added sugar, is gluten free, has no trans fats and is non GMO.

It’s almost as if you’d gone to the farm to collect it […]

How to Eat Healthy on a Budget

This is a question that comes up a lot and I am a big advocate for how to eat healthy on a budget because I know from personal experience that it can be done.

5 Superfoods to Boost Your Health

It’s so important to eat healthy foods that are packed full of vitamins and minerals; they provide energy for everyday tasks and also contribute towards your weight loss.

I’ve chosen 5 of my favorite superfoods that will boost your health and make you look and feel wonderful.

1. Quinoa is a grain that is packed full of protein, one cup contains 9 grams; it also contains 8 of the essential amino acids that your body needs. It’s extremely rich in fiber and helps with digestion which can stop you feeling bloated. Quinoa’s vitamin B content can help keep your mind sharp, maintain brain volume and stabilize your mood. You can enjoy quinoa in a savoury meal or a sweet meal.

2. Black Garlic – this superfood isn’t as strong as white garlic and it’s slightly sweeter. It follows a strict process where it goes through a month-long fermentation under strictly controlled […]

If you love being outside as much as I do then you’ll love a BBQ. Try barbequing your foods including fish, lean meats and vegetables.

To me BBQ food always tastes better and you get to enjoy it outside, you can even make it a great excuse to invite some friends over or just enjoy it with your family. Either way, it’s always fun.
