Don’t throw out your tired greens – all they need is a drink! Submerge your lettuce, rocket or other leaves in a bowl of cold water, forget about them for a few hours, then be ready for a surprise!
This also works for whole brocolli, cabbage, celery, lettuce etc. For best results first trim off the dried end of the stump, so the water can get in.
Enjoy!

Avocado stones (pits) are extremely high in insoluble fibre, which binds to excess cholesterol, and there is more anti-oxidant in the stone than the rest of the avocado!
The avocado stone is surprisingly soft – simply cut through the whole avocado, and the knife goes through the stone. Safer than trying to cut a slippery stone.
I’ve tried the stone grated in salad – it’s OK if you like a bitter taste. The best way is to add half an avocado stone to your green smoothie.

Quinoa, pronounced ‘keen-wah’ is a seed which contains all eight essential amino acids, so it’s an excellent source of vegetable protein.
You can sprout quinoa, or cook it and use it like rice or cous cous.
In the winter I make a ‘warm salad’ which is a fresh salad with warm quinoa on top. Yum!
Try this easy way to break your craving for sweet things. When you find yourself drawn to the chocolate box, or the biscuit tin yet again, munch on a stick of celery instead, and watch your craving disappear.
Whenever you feel you need to boost your immune system, try this refreshing drink which is bursting with vitamin C and many other nutrients.
Simply blend a whole peeled orange with a desert spoon of goji berries. Yum!

Each morning you’ve been saying to yourself: “I’m not going to eat snacks today”.
But, come mid morning, the urge for a biscuit is irresistible and your intention flies out of the window. Or, though sheer willpower you manage for a few days, until your resolve dissolves, leaving you feeling deflated and defeated. You know you’ll better off not eating those sugary/fatty foods, but you can’t quite get there. (more…)
How often do you think ‘I shouldn’t be eating this’, ‘This isn’t good for me’, or ‘I wish I hadn’t eaten that’?
For much of the western world food there is a dizzying variety of food available. With lots of spiced-up, processed food continually tempting your taste buds, it’s very easy to succumb to eating foods that are not really good for you, and perhaps eat too much. These foods can easily lead to dullness, lethargy, extra weight and eventual health problems. (more…)
Food is energy with a particular vibration. As you’ll see, there are simple ways to raise the vibration of a particular plate of food. As you raise its vibration you raise its nurturing qualities too.
Then, to get the most from the food, you need to ensure that you’re as receptive as possible to the benefits of its high vibration. Just like a radio you need to be tuned into the right station. (more…)
Drink a pint of green smoothie each day for a month and see what happens to your health…
A green smoothie is a raw smoothie (a thick, blended drink) which is green in colour. The green comes from green leaves and vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce, parsley, or celery.
You start by making a fruit smoothie, and then add some greens. (more…)
