A New Year + A New Blog

The New Year has kicked off well - lots of meetings with potential clients, lots of year end work to do - the tax man cometh and he wants his tithe!  However, I thought I should at least start blogging seriously and there is no time like the present to get started.

It was a great year end - lots of parties, lots of nosh and a bit of bubbly to wash it all down.  Now it is back on the health train - I am sure a lot of you out there are also thinking the same thing.  I am getting back into yoga, had to give it up for a while during Fall wedding season, we were just so busy.  But yoga helps to keep me focused and a whole lot calmer (for which my staff are eminently grateful!).  I am also back on smoothies for breakfast.  It is a great way to start the day, and they are totally mobile, which is wonderful if you have a hectic schedule.  When I am getting on the road early I make one the night before.  

One of my favourite is the the following - all you need is a good blender!

Peach & Spinach Smoothie (yields 5 cups, enough for two to share!)

1 cup unsweetened Almond milk

1 cup purified water

2 cups fresh or frozen peaches

2 big handfuls of spinach

2 scoops protein powder (I use a vegan non soy protein powder)

2 scoops ground flax seed.

Put all of the ingredients in the blender, and puree.  I puree until it goes nice and green.  Pour into two glasses and enjoy.  One should drink it within 24 hours.

This little smoothie keeps me going until lunch time!
