I received an email a few days ago from Francois Nassif, the general manager at Froothie Australia about the launch of their new Nutriforce Extractor blender, Optimum’s answer to the NutriBullet blender (which is currently on special at KitchenWarehouse for $169, a saving of $30.95). I’ve had a Nutriforce blender on pre-order since mid April; looks like it’s getting close …
Ready for a super nutrient-dense snack, or breakfast that will keep you going for hours? Grab a Nutty Vanilla Smoothie! Over 19 grams of protein in a 300g serving; a great smoothie for pre- and post- workouts.

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.

You may have read about my struggle to find the perfect protein powder to add to my smoothies. I’m trying to find one that is nutritionally complete; not low carb or necessarily low fat, and one which is not animal derived. It also needs to be tummy-friendly. I’d really prefer it to be organic, and from a company that is …
Blenders are pretty straight forward machines. Depending on the type you have, you either put the food in the jug and push the lid on, or you put the food in the jug and screw the lid on. The first has blades in the jug; the second has blades in the lid. Both are placed on top of the blender …
Aibika is not just a pretty plant, although I’d grow it just for that. Gorgeous, huge, dark green glossy leaves create a very tropical look in the garden. It’s not just spunky though, it’s exceptionally nutritious too! Packed to the rafters with protein, at a whopping 29%, and full of chlorophyll (just look at those dark green leaves!). It has …
I’ve been using Isowhey protein powder for about a year now. I’m very happy with this protein powder; it is gentle on my tummy (which a lot or proteins aren’t), the vanilla and chocolate flavours taste great (not a fan of the coffee flavour), and I buy from Isowhey direct where I get a free protein shaker (I now have …
