About Me

My photo
I think every meal (yes, every meal!) can and should incorporate some kind of fruit or vegetable. This is a blog that will show you how. I'm a Health Advisor by trade, which means I help people find easy, realistic ways to tweak their eating and exercise habits to maximise their health and well-being. I firmly beleive being healthy is not about dieting, skipping meals, cutting out food groups or exercising until you can't see straight. All you need is to move more, and vegetate your plate!

All Aboard the Blender Bus


Carrot, Apple and Ginger Smoothie: "The Zinger"



A wee shout out to the Breville Blend Active blender - the perfect 'introductory' blender for those wanting to dip their toes in the green smoothie pool, rather than splashing out circa £500 on a Vitamix (a very good, but very high-end blending wizard).

It costs around £25 (buy from Amazon here) and blends carrots (see recipe below), raw oats, frozen berries, beans...


At the risk of sounding like an ad, it is an absolute dream. All aboard the blender bus...!

What You'll Need
Serves 1

2 large carrots, roughly chopped

1 gala apple
1cm knob of ginger, peeled


The How-To:

- Pop the carrot and ginger into the blender.
- Add in enough water so that it fills up approx 1/3 to 1/2 full.
- Blend for about 1 minute.
- Add in the apple and blend a further 1 minute.
- For best effects, drink immediately.
