Berry Smoothie

Berry Smoothie is full of goodness. I often will make it if I require a lunch on the run.

Ingredients:

1/2 avocado

1 cup of blackberries and blueberries

1 tbsp. chia seeds

1 lime

1 cup of dairy-free milk

Ice cubes

Method:

Rinse all the ingredients.

De-pit the avocado and transfer the half that is required into the blender with the blackberries and blueberries.

Add the juice of a lime, chia seeds and a cup of dairy-free milk with some ice cubes.

Mix till you reach the consistency that you like. It should be smooth and creamy.

Additional Notes:

I find this sweet enough as it is but if you require it to be sweeter than add a bit of honey.

I chop my fruit and vegetables in advance and freeze them. I can then add them straight from the freezer in the morning which makes it very quick. Simply add the dairy-free milk from the refrigerator and the chia seeds from the store cupboard.

Not a fan of dairy-free milk, try coconut water.

Equipment Used:

Knife

Blender.

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
