19.01.2022 http:// Leafy greens are on my list of vegetable royalty. They are loaded with nutrients, are anti viral, antibacterial and anti mould! Leafy greens help to create an alkaline environment in your body, thus reducing your risk of many chronic diseases. They are also high in enzymes, vitamins A + B, folic acid, magnesium, calcium and many micronutrients. Leafy greens are practically predigested and require little work from your digestive system. They scrub the lining of your stomac...h, small intestine + colon, loosening trapped yeast, mould and other types of fungus. Did you know that leafy greens have the most bioavailable proteins you can find?! Amazing. They also help to reverse diseases such as gout, kidney disease, osteoporosis and heart disease. Convinced yet...? @medicalmedium Marit x

17.01.2022 http:// Im pretty lazy when it comes to lunch. More often than not, my babes and I walk in the door after a big morning of exploring + fun and were ravenous! Leftovers are most definitely my friend. Todays lunch was leftover sweet potato + quinoa patties from last nights dinner.

15.01.2022 http:// Quinoa salad has become a bit of a staple at our place. Its super quick + easy to throw together, using bits + bobs from the fridge! Tonight I popped in lots of fresh herbs from our garden along with leftover roasted + raw veggies. A big dollop of hummus topped it off! Leftover quinoa salad is delicious thrown into a big frittata the next day too PS. Orders close at 9pm tonight!

15.01.2022 http:// Check out the BEAUTIFUL salad mix this week @organicgardencoop! Almost too pretty to eat Anj + Marit x

14.01.2022 http:// I think sometimes we lose sight of the every day magic. In our lives and in our food. Im not big on huge gestures or fancy things. My heart is with the ordinary. With so many incredible supplements and superfoods flooding the market, its easy to forget the power of the classics. ... Take cucumber for example. They hydrate us at the deepest cellular level possible. Eaten daily, they help to reverse liver damage and have a cooling effect on our glands + organs. And did you know, theyre actually a fruit?! Another star is the humble orange. They help to fight off viruses, protect the body from radiation damage and deactivate heavy metals in the system. Oranges + tangerines are also abundant in a form of bioactive calcium you cant find anywhere else. The body instantly absorbs this calcium. Pears are another winner. Theyre fabulous for all aspects of digestion; feeding the good bacteria and killing off the bad ones! The flesh of a pear is loaded with phytonutrients + trace minerals and they help to prevent intestinal + stomach cancers. Convinced yet? Do you embrace these life giving foods daily? Marit x
