Apple pie in a glass is amazing too > 20-30 dates, 1.2-1.5 liters of water, 1-2 apples, cinnamon to taste

10 medjool dates 4 bananas 2 teaspoons coconut sugar.

5-MINUTE HEALTHY STRAWBERRY FROZEN YOGURT

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups frozen strawberries 3 Tablespoons agave nectar or honey 1/2 cup plain yogurt (non-fat or full fat) 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

Add the frozen strawberries, agave nectar (or honey), yogurt and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor. Process until creamy, about 5 minutes.

Serve the frozen yogurt immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Kelly’s Notes: I prefer a more tart frozen yogurt, but you can add additional agave nectar or honey if you want a sweeter-tasting dessert.

Fresh strawberries can be used in place of frozen, however the fresh strawberries must be frozen solid.

*If you sub out the plain yogurt for coconut yogurt this can be vegan.

when you hate your legs  remember that they carried you through the hardest parts of your life. they get you out of bed every day and take you to what you love.

when you hate your stomach remember that it helped you gain strength. it holds the memories of deep laughter and great meals. it is full of warmth and joy.

when you hate your arms remember that they are strong, which makes you strong. but they are also soft and can be used to cuddle and hold the ones you love.

The Challenge in Review

The full dirty deets can be found here, but my summary of Paleo-Style eating is this: eating healthy is about the right type of food, not the quantity of food.

I was not allowed any: dairy. sugar. grains. legumes. processed food. And I was...

Whole 30 Day 3

Man I was in a bad mood this morning!! I literally took myself on a timeout and went for a drive. It made such a difference and by midday I felt like a normal human being again. I went to the supermarket this evening and all I wanted was chocolate and chips and cake and bread and peanut butter and cheese and pretty much everything I couldn’t have!! It was hard and it will only get worse before it gets better I think.

And then I came home and I made my first ever meal in a slow cooker. I was pretty excited!! Because I went to the supermarket at 5.30 I couldn’t be bothered waiting around for meat to cook so instead I made butternut squash soup. It was delicious! And I ate lots and I felt full for the first time in the past few days, but not that disgusting, I can’t move kind of full which is good.

Now for the exciting bit… The above beautiful piece of art now belongs to me!! My Dad bought her for my 30th and I have to say that he was far too generous and I am completely spoiled! So not what I thought I’d get but she’s super cool and kinda sassy and completely perfect!
