Mango, Avocado and Beetroot Smoothie

 

Hey guys, it's been forever, I know and I'm sorry. I hope everyone is well and praying/thanking God for Nigeria. I really miss you, so today to compensate for my many days of absence, I'll be sharing a simple yet mouthwatering recipe from our favorite food blog. Just yesterday, I was scolding myself for getting lazy on the fruit consumption department. For some reason, everything just seems so hard to ingest the moment I get home at night. I was served watermelon, (probably my favorite fruit) last week and I couldn't take more than two pieces; that annoyed me BIG time. Anyway, so yesterday I was thinking, I have to do something about this.I need to be healthy you know, and because it's been a while I used the smoothie maker at home, I totally forgot about its existence. Then I started to rethink an easier way to get my nutrients up and bingo! Smoothies, hell yeah! So dear loved ones, if you are in the same boat as me or one similar, you may need to get your smoothie maker out again or make a budget for smoothies and get some from a hygienic spot around you. The beauty about doing it yourself is you can get really creative with the fruits and flavors. Anyway, you should try this one, I don't really like Beetroot but when it was all blended up this way, I couldn't get enough. Enjoy!

A Delicious Coconut Water Fruit Blend

Hi guys, how are you all doing? I'm same as last time, upset with the power situation. It's been six days today that we've not had a blink of light. We've been running on gen for so long, you can just imagine the cost and even more uncomfortable; the limitations (since I don't buy the fuel) - no heater, no air conditioner, etc. sigh. We'll survive. Anyway, if you're in a better part of the world, then you could try this recipe I'm about to share and to make it even better, put it in the refrigerator for an even cooler experience ;). If you're in my shoes; suffering the no electricity life, you could still enjoy the freshness of this with alternative power supply. From our food blog, I present to you a delicious coconut water fruit blend recipe.

Get Spicy with Garlic

Hey guys, how are you doing? I apologize for my recent silence here, I've been away for a while. I traveled and have been all over the place (sort of), since my return. A lot of things have come up but hopefully I'll sort them out soon.

Let's talk about a delicious healthy herb today; garlic. The first thing that comes to mind for most people when the word garlic is heard or read is the distinctive smell. I once told you that my mum considers any meal without garlic and ginger as bland, well, guess what, she can manage living without the ginger but she must have her garlic. I personally love garlic in food albeit in small quantity, I know how much it ruins our breath but sometimes we just choose to live life and live healthy right and honestly if I'm going to be eating in my home, I can't avoid it. When I was much younger, my mum used to mash garlic and mix it up with honey as treatment for respiratory discomfort. She graduated from that to chewing raw garlic and today, garlic is added to practically all our meals. My mum is in her early sixties and I must say, she's pretty strong and healthy. I have to attribute her good health to her food choices (she's a lover of fruits, vegetables and nice herbs) and of course God's Grace. Many people know that garlic has many health benefits because they have heard it too many times, but what are these benefits? Is garlic overrated or should everyone hop on the train and start consuming garlic daily? Let's find out, shall we?

Greetings all. How are your ends of the world? At the moment, I'm super happy as my little princess turns two today. She has been with us for just two years and it feels like forever (in a good way). She is a steady joy bringer. Whatever mood I'm in, she just makes my heart smile. She makes you forget about your troubles and lets you revel in the joy of the moment. She is a smart ass, that one. My heart is filled with so much love right now and I can't thank God enough for blessing us with Hyirirhyel F Tarfa. I pray that she grows to show His light to the world and brighten it as she brightens our lives daily. I love you madly princess - stay true. 

Okay, so back to today's topic - a very common health/physical problem among both men and women today is the issue of big bellies. Did I hear someone say it is not an issue? Don't be in denial, honey. That thing is so not sexy, and more importantly, not healthy. Did you know that doctors check your waist line to determine your risk of heart disease? Topic for another day. Today, I'll be sharing some workout routines and effective recipes to help trim belly fat.

The Delicious Watermelon

Hello world, how are we doing? Breaking grounds, I hope. I feel weird at the moment but I'm sure I'll be good in no time. I have been trying to put this up but my network has been pretty annoying. However, my mood lit up when I found out network was giving issues somewhere in the United States too, :), I'm evil like that ;). Kidding, okay, just a little. Today, I wanted to put up the health benefits of a food/fruit then voila, my sister got watermelon earlier, so while I ate some, I decided that I'd write about that . I actually love watermelon, it is one of my favorite fruits if not the actual favorite one. Sometimes, we are unlucky and get those light pink ones that aren't sweet but when we do get those red juicy sweet ones and then refrigerate it for a while before taking it, it's like heaven.

African Garden egg Sauce

Today, our food blogger talks about the health benefits of this meal and gives us the delicious recipe. You would want to try it; it is a great choice for a healthy addition to your diet. 

Let's Work Out

Hi guys! What's popping? Yes, I'm sure you guessed that the next thing after eating right would be working out, right? I can imagine my siblings cracking up at the thought of me writing this. You see, I DO NOT like to work out, but what I can't stand is the thought of adding flesh in the wrong places. So for me, it's a matter of choosing the lesser evil, of which in this case, is working out! That's right! I would humbly offer my body to work out sessions to get rid of flab I do not want. It's sort of tricky for me because I'm seen to be naturally skinny. Let me tell you a bit about that, follow me.
