It’s been awhile since I did a vlog about getting healthy but I seemed to have turned a major corner so thought it time for an update. Plus Valerie Waters of Red Carpet Ready just released her new Action Hero Babe training system and I can’t wait to get started with it.

Now that I’m back from holidays and settling into routine I’ve started to get back into healthy eating. I need to drop a few kg to fit back into last Summers clothes . As part of my recommitment to healthy eating I’ve been trying to make some new things. Just this week I have made a green smoothie and breakfast cookie (thanks Alison – loved it). Actually Alison has been a big inspiration for me – I also made the banana whip I saw on her blog and she reminded me of yogadownload.com. I made some low fat/sugar choc muffin – but no-one really liked them. I also made a pumpkin & red lentil lasagne – which was yummy, and I’ve been experimenting with food a lot more. The only downside of healthy eating – a VERY FULL fridge.

I’m really quite rapt with my green smoothie so I thought I’d put a quick video together for you guys. I really am amazed at how nice they are – even Kevin like it.

My recipe is :

1/2 cup organic low-fat milk

Large handful spinach

1/2 Tbs ground flaxseeds

1 Tbs unflavoured protein powder

Approx. 1/2 mango

** If you make it, or another version, please let me know what you think. So good – gives you a serve of fruit, veg, diary and protein!!

A lot of people add banana, I’m thinking of trying tinned peaches & pineapple.

Video recap of the week plus a look at some of my groceries. I decided I wanted to share some meal photos at the end of the video – but after I’d already uploaded to youtube. So this week I’ll just put the photos after the video.

My version of a veggie burger – no bun and it was delicious.

Lunch – leftover sweet bean burito mix (served for dinner the previous night in a tortilla) with salad

I was so proud when I made this veggie stirfry WITHOUT a recipe. Served with veggie kebabs and over brown rice – Yum!!

Lunch out on Sunday – veggie frittata – shared with DH.
