Detox time

After two weeks of wedding celebrations, family gatherings and having visitors in Mauritius, it was time for a bit of a detox! The day started with an early Zumba session. Zumba has never felt so hard in such heat! For anyone in the north of the island, check out the classes run by Giovanni (52516578), a licensed Zumba instructor, lots of fun assured!

For breakfast I made smoothies, a simple raspberry and pineapple one for mum and an avocado, pineapple and banana one for me.
Avocados and bananas are full of folates which support red blood cell formation and good circulation. Avocados are also full of healthy fats and they have the highest protein content of any fruit- perfect to kick start the day! I always have a bag of chopped up frozen bananas in the freezer, the perfect base for any smoothie giving you a thick and refreshing texture.

AVOCADO BANANA SMOOTHIE
  • Half a ripe avocado
  • 2 small frozen bananas, chopped
  • About 1 cup of non fat milk or coconut milk
  • A couple of slices of pineapple, chopped 
  • 3 tsp honey, or more according to taste
Blend everything together until nice and smooth, I used a hand blender. Adjust the amount of milk used according to your desired textured. If you find the avocado too overpowering, add in some vanilla, more pineapple or honey.
Now off to make some Thai carrot soup and iced green tea!
