The juice bar + detox water

           Whilst i am relaxing on my sofa this rather cold saturday evening thinking about the week that has just gone by, my beautiful children are off on the  easter holidays so im sure will keep me busy, my beautiful partner finishing work early to enjoy this time as a family, taking a break from writting I look up to see my children and love playing on minecraft smile across my face, listening to the conversations they’re having whilst playing the xbox, i am truly blessed the bond that has grown between them. I never take moments like this  for granted because they go by way to quick, and after spending the last week working between 14 even 19 hour shift at work, i dont want this weekend to end, my favourite part off our evening routine is tucking my children in to bed  saying our prayers and reading them a bed time story or them reading me theyre school books, its become a family tradition every night we all go up stairs pick a story and spend time reading books and talking even if its just about our day. Both boys are amazing little readers and im always on the hunt for more reading books. i went in to THE WORKS yesterday and was amazed by all the special offers they had so i did buy 3 story books for 5 pounds plus the Harry Potter book set for 15 pounds which my eldest son was very happy with, whilst i was in store i see The Juice Bar which caught my eye as i am very much in to  following a healthy life style well I try to any way, THE JUICE BAR is a book that has 80 juice recipes to boost health,I have been big on juicing for a long while now but it’s sometimes   hard to get that balance right, I have on many occasions made a smoothie/juice and the taste has not been right either sour or bitter and sometimes just not right at all, it’s about putting ingredients together that work and balance each other so they work well like KALE and APPLE they work really well together AVOCADO and STRAWBERRIES also work really well together.

It’s not just about the FRUIT and VEGETABLES you put in to your juices but it’s Things like
 Oats,Wheatgerm,Nuts,Chiaseeds,Flaxseeds,Hempseeds,Sesame seeds,Pumpkin seeds they are all NUTRIENT boosters and are amazing in smoothies or juices I have been using pumpkin seeds for many years PUMPKIN seeds them self contain protein,vitamin E and fibre and adding an ENERGY boost to juices. Also containing monounsaturated fats Which is good fats.

Beetroot is something I have loved using in my juices just lately, beetroot contains all the vitamins and minerals needed to give your body a boost as well as Watermelon that is high in water content so helps to rehydrate your skin, WATERMELON is one off my all time favourite fruits. I always try and encourage my family to have juices however I cater for my children needs so I would use vegetable and fruits but would leave seeds and nuts out, my partner is like me we are always trying new juices and different ingredients out to see what works well for our bodies, it would not always be the same juices work for all body types. My little boys  like a BANANA BOOST

1 Banana, peeled and chopped

1 Kiwi, peeled and chopped

125mls unsweetened soya milk

Small handful off crushed ice

it’s really quick,simple to make and extremely healthy  and we as a family love having this off a morning. it’s also very filling and it’s a good way of knowing that your children are receiving fruit and vegetables even if they don’t know it........


My partner loves muesli for breakfast, he eats with fresh fruit, so what better way to have muesli than to have MUESLI MOTIVATOR adding just 1 tablespoon of almonds to a smoothie boosts your VITAMIN E, VITAMIN B and protein levels.Oats  obtain soluble FIBRE as well as Grapefruit they stimulate the digestion and help remove cholesterol from our bodies.
All you will need to make a muesli motivator is
20g of porridge oats
30g flaked almonds
1/2 ruby grapefruit, zest
And a little pith removed and chopped
150g of raspberries
2 oranges, juice squeezed
125ml of chilled water
all you do to make this yummy breakfast is put the porridge oats, almonds in to a blender and whizz until finely ground.Add the grapefruit,raspberries,orange juice water and whizz until smooth and pour in to your preferred glass and ready to drink.Very tasty smoothie effortless to make and is high it nutrients.

I would like to mention my water flask bottle, it’s incredible I purchased from PRIMARK, inside the bottle it has a separate attachment that screws nicely in the centre off the bottle inside I always place 1 Lemon chopped in to tiny pieces 1 Lime again chopped in to tiny pieces and a chunk of Cucumber that I chop into tiny pieces as well and they fit nicely inside. I always put in filtered water and crushed ice then place the middle part inside, the flask it’s self is good quality, I have had this purchase for nearly 4 weeks and has it leaked once,very sturdy lid. It also has a strap wide enough to put a couple off fingers and again the strap feels like high quality, the bottle has measurements down one side and can fit 1 litre of water inside which is brilliant, you can purchase in many colours and it’s just one off my best purchases lately.DETOX water is refreshing and rather satisfying. However to know that something that does not cost the earth to make tastes amazing with great health benefits it sure had thumbs up from me, it’s so beneficial CUCUMBERS-cleanses Kidneys,improving SKIN and lowering BLOOD PRESSURE. LEMON and LIMES -helps to fight infections,cleanse kidneys reduces  bloating. I must have 3 off these a day once I have drank all my water all I need to do is screw open the lid fill the bottle and drink as all the ingredients are still working their magic as well as still keeping fresh.

I can say that  since  I have changed a few simple things in my eating routine, portion control and cut down on all the negative foods, adding my detox water and juices I have really felt a difference, my 

skin is less acne prone I feel more energy my stomach is less bloated and I just feel better in my self I will be keeping a diary off my journey through out 2019, and will be uploading juice recipes and more water recipes and pictures of my progress.
