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.

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…)
Many of us have become completely disconnected from our sense of when, what and how much we need to eat. We’ve somehow ended up eating out of habit, or to satisfy some emotional need.

Wild animals are tuned into their natural appetite; if there’s sufficient food available they eat what they need to maintain healthy bodies. Babies know when they need to eat, and let us know in no uncertain terms! They also let us know when they’ve had enough.
