Day 8, 8 May.

Keeping it light today.

I decided to remove the pulp and get juicy. Todays Juice consists of 1 cucumber, ginger, 3 apples, 3 carrots and 1 beet.

Isnt this beautiful. Beetroot and ginger make a potent combination and flush out the liver.

You are beautiful ! Have a beautiful day :)

Going Green. Day 6 of 30 day smoothie challenge.

I enjoy green smoothies a lot. They lift me up, almost like the fog clears from my brain ;)I feel that the more simple the recipe, the happier my body.

Todays smoothie consists of nothing but organic spinach, bananas and the juice of 4 oranges.

I am experiencing significant detox still - release of a lot of mucus, and feeling tired.

The Beauty of physical change and healing is that it never takes as long to detox as it does to get to a toxic state.

Have a Beautiful Sunday. Cheers.

Day 5. Geting Juicy and drowning my excuses

Sound Familiar?
Forming my new habbit of juicing and drinking a raw smoothie daily takes some conscious effort at first, until I am unconsciously competent at it. Its already day 5 and each day becomes easier and more enjoyable.

Today I enjoyed a rather lazy day after some early morning work and enjoyed a beautifully sweet, fresh apple and carrot juice. Carrot juice is adored by our skin. regular consumption makes my skin soft like velvet which I welcome as we move into a rather dry winter climate.

What small piece of 'wisdom' can I offer you? I believe that optimum health, vibrancy and the feeling of freedom and sexiness that comes with it feels way better than anything tastes. (Plus Raw Foods taste amazing). I invite you to make any change that takes you in the direction of your health and hapiness. Its worth it. You are worth it.

Day 4. Detox and staying focused

Pain is weakness leaving the body.
If you are on any kind of dietary transition like me, you are going to go through detox at some stage. Its inevitable. Welcome it. Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Raw foods is so powerful in how it cleanses and heals that you may think the discomfort is caused by the raw foods or healthier foods. This is a myth.

Raw foods frees up so much nervous energy that it would usually use to digest and assimilate cooked and processed foods, so when you start to switch over that energy is freed up and re-directed to handle some much needed internal housekeeping. your cells will release toxins resulting in unpleasant detox but this is short lived. Some detox symptoms are; headaches, feeling tired, body odour,diziness, nausea or vommiting.

Your body is a genius and knows exactly how to heal. listen to your body and give it the rest it needs.

Remember: It has to rain before you can see the rainbow.

Today Im enjoying a green smoothie. 60% fruit (2 bananas and 2 oranges) and 40% leafy greens in the form of spinach from my garden.

Day 3 Baby

,Day 3. I love this number. The Miracle of Living foods is that in such a short time im already feeling the difference. The changes that Im experiencing are:

easier to get out of bed in the morning,

easier and more frequent elimination and

better hydration.

My Family have joined me on this challenge and have reported no cravings or hunger during the day and a feeling of lightness, waking up in the morning.

To your health, cheers :)

Day 2. Im Filled with gratitude

Day 2 of my smoothie challenge
and I could already notice my negative self talk, trying to keep me in my comfort zone. But Alas, here is my delicious smoothie of the day, ready to download me with hapiness :)

Todays recipe: Bananas, papaya, apple, spinach and freshly squeezed orange juice.

Today I am extra grateful for my Life. I beleive that every moment of my life is MY creation, the good and the ugly. I beleive that I am a potent prophet of my own life and today my gratitude was amplified by all my creations big and small.

Im grateful that my puppies behaved today :), im grateful for my Businesses that are growing so beautifuly. Im grateful to be surrounded by good people that help one another. Im grateful for my home and family. Im grateful to be able to eat this way and heal my body, Im even grateful for the detox symptoms. It means that my body is changing and healing.

What else can you be grateful for now? its a magical feeling that only brings you more abundance and creations to be grateful for.

Much Love to you all

Day 1 of 30 day smoothie challenge

Good Morning beauties. Day 1 of my challenge is starting off well. If you would like to participate all you have to do is consume atleast 1 raw vegan smoothie a day. No need to change anything else in your routines and rituals. Just add this miracle drink to your day and allow the changes to happen to your body naturally. Todays smoothie consists of: Bananas, guavas and spinach.

The ratio is about 60% fruit and 40% leafy greens. This ratio is perfect for me. The sweet fruit masks the bitterness of the greens and my body sings with joy every time I have one.

You can use any fruit and greens combination you want. We are in Autum now in South Africa so the recipes I use will differ to where you are.

Please share your recipe with me. Id love to know how you are doing.

Benefits of Green smoothies:

-Living nutrients are flooding your body.

-Easy to digest and assimilate. Blending ruptures the cell walls and so the nutrients are absorbed quicky. It may be why your mood changes instantly :)

- A molecule of chlorophyll closely resembles a molecule of human blood. According to teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore, "consuming chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion". Many people do not consume enough greens, even those who stay on a raw food diet. By drinking two or three cups of green smoothies daily you will consume enough greens for the day to nourish your body, and all of the beneficial nutrients will be well assimilated.

-Your colon will get a much needed scrub. the fibre in the fruits are soft and gentle on your intestines and sweep your colon clean. A misconception of people practicing this for the first time is that they experience constipation in the first day or two. This is due to the natural bulk fibre that the body needs to adjust to. in no time, the cleaning will accelerate and you may be amazed as to how much junk is stored in your body.

-reduced cravings of junk - our body craves because we starve it if living nutrients. a smoothie a day will cut your cravings for artificial sweet junk.

-more energy

-light detox

-clearer skin.

If you are experiencing other wonderful benefits please let me know. Happy tuesday :)
