healthy_eatingMother Nature provides a naturally sweet option that takes very little preparation and is perfect for when you are trying to lose pregnancy weight.
For these healthy fruit cocktails you can use any blendable fruit that you like – just pop the fruit in the blender with some honey, lime juice, ice and water and puree.
Straining is optional – it depends how you like the finished product to look and feel – but it is nice to keep some of the real ‘bits’ in the drink too.
This produces a super low calorie, sweet, refreshing cocktail style drink that is perfect for adults and kids alike. You can still enjoy delicious treats like this, all the while you are still following your healthy eating plan.Optional extras:

  • add mint to the blender with fruits such as pineapple and watermelon
  • add basil to fruits like strawberry or honey dew
  • add thyme to rockmelon
  • add rosemary to strawberry

Weight Loss Results

Samara says:  “I have lost 12kgs on the Healthy Mummy plans and smoothies! The Healthy Mummy has helped me to take control of what I can. I am getting happier and more confident with each passing day! I’m not at my goal weight yet – my body has hit the pause button – but I will not give up.  My advice – start TODAY! Don’t wait for next week or Monday, start your journey today. You will thank yourself in a week, a month, a year!
If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got! Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end”
