Pink lemonade smoothie

Being healthy cannot be underestimated. A healthy person is a wealthy person. You can go about your daily activities with easy. Even if you have a health condition , you can still find eating right a good place to start with managing it.
This one packs a punch... i used a whole lemon ... yes with the rind and all well apart from the seeds.  If you love being healthy and don't mind the slight astringent feel with slight bitter tangs then this is for you. I used zobo/hibiscus drink with honey to make this. Recently been discovering the wonders of lemon. Apart from being rich in vitamin c.. it is a decent source of potassium and vitamin B6. Apart from putting the common cold at bay... its great for digestion and keeps the body in an alkaline state therefore preventing disease from thriving. I know many people say lemons are acidic but actually do the opposite when they enter the body. It also helps in supressing the appetite. Amazing fruit i must say... ah there are the beauty benefits too.. try taking lemon juice before bed daily and see how clear your skin will start to look. You can even using the essential oil from the rind on your face. But please try and use unwaxed lemons or better still organic ones.

Coconut chicken and prawns on a bed of salad leaves with Zobo/hibiscus drink . Healthy eating can be very delicious honestly. Its amazing how the flavours in this recipe combine... so tasty. I have been on an eat clean sort of diet. Its  amazing how food tastes without stock cubes... for years been telling people how unhealthy these cubes or stock pots or whatever form they  are. Honestly you are better off not eating these excitoxins. Anyway to my recipe very simple

Chicken breasts or diced chicken from any part will do
Handful of Prawns
An onion
1 tsp chilli flakes
Yellow,orange,red peppers
Coconut milk
1tsp Corn flour
Curry powder
Thyme

Add olive oil to pan about 3 tablespoons to heat on medium heat. Then add some of the chopped onion to flavour the oil and add chicken to cook until all done and add all spices
Then add prawns and allow to cook until pink if you are using raw prawns. Add vegetables and fry for another 3-4mins and then add coconut milk about 1 cup and then add corn flour.
