There's no doubt about it, we could all do with a few light and fresh recipes at this time of the year, whether it's because of the hot weather or due to a few too many indulgences over the Christmas break. For me, it's both :)

Yes I know green smoothies have been done to death but they are such a regular part of my diet now because there's so many variations and it's the perfect way to tick all the boxes which can be difficult to achieve in a lot of breakfast meals..

With this meal here I think the salad is just as, or even more delicious than the fish and it is my version of Changs Noodle Salad (everyone knows someone that always bring the Changs Noodle Salad to the BBQ right?)

It's that time of year when every second person you talk to is sniffling and complaining about their awful cold, while your standing there thinking - keep your distance people I don't want to get sick! Well here's a soup recipe that is so nourishing you can almost feel it instantly boosting your immune system. 

Banana: High source of potassium and fibre. Also contains serotonin for a happiness effect and provides pre-biotics to feed healthy gut bacteria. 
Coconut cream: Fantastic source of lauric acid which is an important medium-chain fatty acid and  is metabolised more efficiently in than saturated fats, giving us an excellent boost of energy. Also has great anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. 
Flaxseeds: Extremely superior source of omega-3 fatty acids and helps to keep the bowels regular.
Maca: Helps to energise and revitalise the body.
