Looking for a mood and energy boost in the morning but trying to stay away from that cuppa joe?
This smoothie might just be a great alternative for you! Packed full of antioxidants, and nutrients to support your brain function and concentration, as well as elevate your mood.
The key ingredient in this smoothie being the Goddess Greens powder which has barley grass, cinnamon and matcha (green tea).
Swapping regular coffee for the matcha will still give you an energy boost, but be a lot kinder to your nervous system and has way more antioxidants.
The cinnamon helps support keeping your blood sugars balanced, which is essential for balanced hormones.
And the barley grass helps support the acid-alkaline balance in the body… WIN, WIN, WIN!!
You could have this powder on its own with some milk of choice, or try it in the smoothie recipe I put together below!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 serve of Goddess Greens powder
- ½ banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used @mitchell.nz)
- 1 cup unsweetened alt. milk (I used almond)
- ½ cup of ice to pour over (optional)
METHOD
- Pop all the ingredients together in a blender, blend and serve over ice! Enjoy!

Whether it’s celebrating the silly season, you have a special birthday, or event, or you just had one too many last night, this hangover elixir has got you covered!
Reason being? The key ingredients aren’t just there to taste good, but the science behind them supports boosting your mood, replenishing diminished nutrients and increasing your body’s detoxification process to get that poison (yes your body sees and treats alcohol as poison) out of the body!
When it comes to hangovers, you may have heard about activated charcoal, this is something I recommend to my clients as no brainer, in fact if you can remember to have this before you drink and before you sleep you might not even need this elixir.
However, just so you know the jury is still out on whether or not it does in fact help. All I can say is from personal experience, that of my clients as well as family and friends… have all reported to feel better when they take it after alcohol consumption. It’s just important to take it away from other foods and supplements as it can stop the body from absorbing them.
If you’ve forgotten to take your activated charcoal or you’d prefer to opt for something in the morning, I’ve concocked this little elixir… But why these specific ingredients? Keep reading to find out!
NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS
Coconut water: you need to replenish your electrolytes + rehydrate after a big night, after all alcohol can really dehydrate you. Often we turn to a sugary drink like powerade/gatorade to replenish them, but if you do that you’re looking at dealing with super high levels of sugar or artificial sweeteners - not here for it! Coconut water is a great alternative and you can find many low sugar varieties.
Pineapple juice: this is great for boosting your serotonin levels (aka your mood stabilising + happiness hormone). With alcohol being a natural depressant, serotonin levels drop after a glass or two of your faves, so it can be great to add in something like pineapple that is high in tryptophan as serotonin is synthesised from tryptophan.
Orange juice + lemon juice: have been included as it contains the majority of your B vitamins, which can help you feel recharged and more like yourself, supporting energy, stress response and immune function too, lemon juice also supports the flushing out of the alcohol by stimulating the liver.
Salt: some added sea salt or kelp salt can be awesome again to assist in rehydration and balancing of those electrolytes, combined with the natural sugars from the orange and pineapple juice can be the perfect restoring balance!
So without further ado… here’s the recipe for you to try!
INGREDIENTS + METHOD
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut water
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
Method:
- Blend or stir it all together and enjoy!

This dinner is super family friendly, as well as being super friendly for your gut! By now I imagine you’ve heard all the benefits of bone broth (if you haven’t I have a blog here for you).
Adding bone broth into a meal not only elevates the taste, but the health of your gut due to the boost of collagen and essential amino acids to help the healing and repairing of your gut!
This recipe was taken directly from my 4 Week Gut Reset Recipe Book, if you want to check out more recipes and ways to reset and support your gut health check it out here!
In the meantime, give this recipe a try!
INGREDIENTS
- 250g sirloin/eye fillet steak
- 100g button mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup coconut cream
- 1 clove of garlic, mashed
- 150g potatoes
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ cup bone broth, (as needed) - you can use 1 tbsp. of powdered bone broth or paste if you prefer
- salt + pepper to taste
METHOD
- Place potatoes and ½ tbsp. salt in a large saucepan, add water to cover by 2cm, and bring to boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender and a paring knife can be easily slipped in and out of potatoes, 18 to 22 minutes.
- Whilst the potatoes are cooking, in a large frying pan on medium heat, add olive oil and garlic, bring to a simmer before adding the steak
- Allow the steak to cook for about 5-8 minutes each side, depending how rare you like it, before removing it from the pan and setting aside to rest.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and keep on medium heat, browning the mushrooms, before adding the coconut cream and stirring through for no more than one minute.
- Remove from the heat and pour over the steak.
- Drain potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, stirring, until potatoes are thoroughly dried, about 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat and, using potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth and no lumps remain. Stir in bone broth, oil, and salt to taste.
*N.B. You can use the second serve of the recipe to have for leftovers the next day
