Sailing through Smoothie Recipes, wicked blenders & smoothie makers
I’ve just added the water to my 50 grams of Blend 11 and boy do those seeds love swimming! I can actually hear them coming alive, sounding like Snap, Crackle and Pop. I’m not imaging it – I thought that maybe, just maybe, I was hearing the ocean (since I was holding the bowl to my ear like a shell), …
Ugh. We’re all sick. Some bug’s hitched a ride home from school and now we’re all under the weather. My little girl’s the worst; she’s got a raging fever, she’s vomiting, and there’s: “funny sounds in my ears mummy and my eyes hurt”. I’m not so bad, just an itchy nose which makes me sneeze all the time, a runny …
I bought a bag of Isowhey Pea+Brown Rice Protein a while back. This is an organic protein (well, 97.6% of it anyway); gluten, dairy and soy free, made from sprouted bio-fermented golden pea and brown rice, as well as a range of other sprouted grains, seeds and legumes including millet, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa and flax seed. That all sounds really …

My eldest daughter and husband do not like smoothies; full stop. For months I’ve been trying to convince them with chocolate shake smoothies, frozen banana smoothé’s (like a frappé) and the likes, but to no avail. This smoothie though – hallelujah! It’s pink; a big plus for my 7 year old daughter. It’s sweet; a plus for both husband and …
Ok, there’s the good, the bad, and then there’s the plain ugly. I’ve been researching protein powders for a long time now and Amazonia’s Raw really got my attention, mainly because it’s organic, looks beautiful, doesn’t contain animal products, contains awesome nutrition, and I love Amazonia’s Raw Prebiotic Women’s Multi. I ordered the 500g container from HealthPost.com.au; it was not …
It was so freezing this morning! After a hot summer with some days topping 42 degrees, I am so not ready for winter yet.

I’d really prefer it to be organic, and from a company that is …
