In this day and age where eating healthy has become so important, many people do not like to eat fruit and vegetables. Even though they know it is good for them, they still prefer not to eat it. It can be very difficult getting used to a healthy lifestyle if all you are used to, is take away fast food. The first change is having to get home and cook. Immediately you lose about halve an hour of your "alone" time.
What is important
thought, is to think of this as an opportunity to spend this time with your
children and husband/wife. Make it fun and interesting. Don’t lose your smile
when you think that you will have to eat more fruits during the day and
evening. There is a very easy solution that will be fun.
I think smoothies
are one of the greatest inventions of our time. I know you get a lot of fruit
juices and they are truly great, but some of the manufacturers do add a lot of
sugar. Try to keep the sugar intake low by making your own. All you need is a
blender, or smoothie maker and fruit. It is that simple. Try to play with the
flavours. You can add whatever you like. If you do not try it, how will you
know if you like it or not?
You can get recipe books for how to make
smoothies, but as I said, make it up as you go along. Try mixing banana,
strawberries, kiwi fruit, grapes and plain yoghurt. It tastes great. This is
not a sweet combination, so if you have a sweet tooth, maybe you should try a
second recipe.
Next, try a mango,
banana, yellow melon and yoghurt. This is a sweeter option, if the banana is a
little strong, maybe you try to use only halve a banana or replace it with some
other fruit like a strawberry or two.
Go on, try to make
your own smoothie!
