My fave smoothie ingredients
I’ve been a big fan of coconut products for the last 18 months or so, which actually makes me pretty late to the party compared to a lot of people. But what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm, with some coconut-related product making an appearance in almost every meal. From my quinoa and sweet potato salad to the choc-coconut paleo cupcakes through to my fave chicken curry, there’s really not much that this magical fruit hasn’t done for me….
As you are no doubt aware by now, I’m not really into ‘skinny’ foods. I used to be – in high school and through my early 20’s I was all about light cheese, light coconut milk, fat-free yoghurt – and God help you if you put full cream milk in my coffee. Ironically, this was probably my most unhealthy and heaviest period (weight-wise) of my life.

Although it wasn’t always this way, these days I like to think I eat relatively well. The more I’ve read recently though, the more I realise that while my diet doesn’t necessary involve a lot of what you might consider ‘unhealthy’ foods, I’m probably not really getting the nutrients I should be. I also have a bit of a (read: major) sugar addiction. So for these reasons I’ve decided to give my diet a bit of a shake up – nothing crazy mind you, because I see no point in setting myself up for failure. The aim is simple – less processed foods, less added sugars and more nutrient rich vegies, seeds, fruits etc.
