Yesterday I showed you how to make banana mango frozen fruit cream; today, I’m sharing quick tips to make it even healthier.

Wash your fruits properly — they’ve had quite the journey

Pre-freeze your combos. If still very frozen when you’re about to blend, loosen with some fruit juice, water or milk – options are endless, depending on your preference.

Practice moderation, even with healthy foods!

Did you guess what was in the pictures I shared in my last post? Well, I’ll tell you about one of them

Made with only 2 ingredients!

If you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to go down the full dessert or specifically, ice cream route, this is one of my favourite swaps – Banana and mango. Frozen. Blended. Done.

That’s it.

It’s naturally sweet, creamy, and honestly feels like a treat, without added sugar or cream,. You can take it exactly as it is, add a few nuts if you want some crunch. or cut up some of the fruits into it.

When I say wellness doesn’t have to be complicated, this is what I mean Small swaps, done consistently, add up over time.

Will you try this? I’ll tell you about the other two combos, later.

What fruit combo do you like best?

When it’s Christmas, sometimes, our best intentions fly out the windows! We want to do the right thing, but who, in their right minds, can (or should resist) the very many and tempting delicacies available during this period? Some would even say they have done the right thing up until this time, so they can ‘misbehave’ with out guilt during this period! Which group do you fall into?

The key to keeping it together during this season, is moderation. You can eat most things, provided you do them in moderation.

However, I will also be bringing you this period, lighter, healthier alternatives to some festive favourites. These are options that still taste good (really good), but are gentler on calories and more balanced nutritionally. Are you up for this?

Let’s go.

We’ll start with these. Are these indulgent desserts or lighter swaps? And can you guess what they’re made from?

Best answer gets something good!

Today is World Health Day 2024 with the theme, ‘My Health, My Right’

The global right to health continues to face challenges. COVID-19 showed how far we were from universal health coverage – a situation where all people have access to the good quality care that they need without suffering financial hardship. The poor were pushed further into poverty and had to struggle to cope with the health and economic fallouts of the pandemic.

Diseases, disasters, and conflicts continue to claim lives, while air pollution from fossil fuels (such as the fuel from that generator ) threatens clean air. Despite health being recognized as a human right in over 140 countries, many lack access to essential services.

This year’s theme, ‘My Health, My Right’, advocates for quality health services, education, clean water, nutrition, and freedom from discrimination for everyone, everywhere. We should continue to hold government at all levels accountable for ensuring universal health coverage.

In your own little corner, though, how are you contributing to creating a healthier, more equitable world?
