While traditional store bought ketchup is usually full of added, refined sugar, this homemade version is not. And it takes only 2 minutes to make!
Ginger kick smoothie
Sweet and spicy, this smoothie packs all the health benefits of ginger while tasting great. The other two main ingredients, papaya and carrots, add a range of further nutrients that are listed below.
How to keep going when motivation fails you
At the beginning of each year, I see so many people making their New Year's resolutions; determined to keep them. A big part of those people will have given up on their resolutions by March. But why does that happen? They rely only on motivation to keep them going!
Healthy banana hot chocolate
There's nothing quite like a warming cup of hot chocolate when it's cold outside. Unfortunately, most store bought hot chocolate powders are packed with added sugar which, as we know, isn't exactly great for our health. As an alternative, you can try the hot chocolate recipe below which uses banana and dates for sweetening!
5 Most versatile tools for home workouts
Not everyone likes going to a gym, and that's fine! A gym membership, while useful, is not a necessity for people looking to get fit. Working out at home can be a convenient and money saving option, and it can also give you the results you're looking for if done right. When choosing workout equipment to purchase for home workouts, it is important to maximise efficiency: to get versatile workout equipment that you can use in many different ways.
Vitamin C Green Smoothie
Yesterday, I tried a new green smoothie recipe, and as it turned out very well and was quite popular at home, I'm sharing it here today.

Dumbbell only full body workout
The only thing you'll need for this whole body workout is a pair of dumbbells. If you don't have any, grab two water bottles or anything else that you have lying around your house. Do 10-15 reps for each exercise for 1-3 rounds!
Machines vs. free weights
Free weights or machines, what is better? This debate has been around forever, and while most people prefer one over the other, it can be helpful to look at the benefits and drawbacks of both of them objectively to be able to put together the most effective workouts.
Chia jam- the healthy jam alternative
Jam is nice, but usually full of sugar which isn't especially great for anyone trying to live healthier. This easy to make alternative to jam tastes great, is healthy and can be used on bread, in porridge and in several desserts.
Avocado chocolate mousse
Now I'm not saying that this is a new idea or that I invented this one; it's been around forever! The reason I'm still posting this recipe is that it's one of my absolute favourites, and it will also be used as part of other recipes that I will be posting later on, so you can look this one up for reference.
