So, last week I wrote about my intention to start on a new natural/preservative free (where possible) health kick. I feel obliged to say at this point that I am writing this post whilst sipping an Amaretto, but that’s purely because I need to get rid of it!
So, my shopping’s been done and delivered (this was always when I intended to start the health kick more seriously) and I have a couple of new additions that I’m really looking forward to trying.
Firstly – Flaxseed. This was recommended by my good friend and mentor Phil as a natural food to bulk up, well, almost anything! It comes in a granulated form and although there’s just over 40g of fat per 100g, only 4g is saturated fat. Which means – lots of good fats. So where do I intend to use it? Initially, I’m thinking in yogurt, porridge, salads, wraps, casseroles and rice – or, anything else that I deem boring in taste!
Secondly – Smoothies. Sometimes I’m making them all the time, and sometimes not so much. So, if I’m going to take this health kick seriously, making smoothies on a regular basis is going to be one of the permanent changes. It was the M&S Super Berry smoothie that I’ve recently succumbed to on my lunch breaks that got me back into the idea. So armed with a stash of frozen and fresh fruit, along with juice, I’ll be taking a flask of it with me to work every day.
So to summarise, although I may not be consuming the new diet yet, tomorrow’s the day when it all starts. Follow me here and see how I get on.
