So the New Year is upon us. I’m not sure about you, but I really don’t subscribe to going in ‘all guns blazing’ with new years resolutions at the beginning of January. I read a really good article that said you should try to commit to New Year’s intentions rather than resolutions – and I couldn’t agree more!
I still think January is a good time to begin making changes towards New Year’s resolution INTENTIONS, so as a start, I’ve decided to stay off the booze in January. It’s Sunday 6th and I’m still going strong!
As per usual, I indulged slightly too much over the Christmas period and could hear my body screaming out with relief when I went back to my previous (healthier) ways before the festive period. To catapult myself back into healthy eating, I started detoxing by making smoothies by the bucket load – and drinking a glass of Pomegranate juice daily – all for under a fiver (and that was from Waitrose too)!
Simply get yourself down the supermarket and buy the following:
For the detox
- Pomegranate juice
For the smoothies (5-6 days worth)
- Frozen summer fruits
- Frozen chopped mango
- x1 Pineapple
- Orange and Mango juice
To make the smoothie recipe, chop the Pineapple and stick into a big mixing bowl, then add the Mango and Summer fruits. Mix everything together, separate into 5-6 sandwich bags and store in the freezer.
Each morning, add the contents of one sandwich bag into a blender with some Orange and mango juice, blend, then pour into a glass and enjoy. And if you want to make it really cool and fresh, blend the fruit when it’s still partially frozen and add a few mint leaves.
Enjoy!
