🌟 Today is World Mental Health Day! 🌟

Life has been different for a while now so it's only natural that many of us are struggling with our mental health in one way or another.

With that in mind, we wanted to share some quick, easy, and overall FUN ways to give your mental health a little boost:

📓 Journal - it's an amazing way to organise your life and work out what's important to you. Write down what you're grateful for, make a to-do list or keep a diary - writing it down on paper may give you a new perspective.

✏️ Vision board - creating a vision board can help to focus your thoughts and give you a refreshed perspective. Take some time to think about what you want from your life, find some images which represent these visions and then place them all together on your board. Pop the vision board somewhere you'll regularly see it and every time you spot it visualise these great things becoming true in your future.

🖍️ Colouring in - this is an amazing way to totally relax your mind. Instead of focussing on any worries or anxieties, your attention will be taken up by the colouring in - giving your brain a well-deserved break.

🍁 Nature - we say this all the time but there's no better thing for your mental health than spending some time outdoors. Halloween and Bonfire night are quickly approaching which gives us two fun opportunities to spend some time with nature.

🤣 Laugh - chances to truly laugh might have been few and far between recently but it's super important for boosting your mental health. If nothing particularly funny is happening during your day-to-day life at the moment, watch your favourite comedy film instead.

💃🏽 Dance - or skip, walk, swim, or any gentle movement. Not only is this great for your physical body, but it will also help you to literally shake out any negative emotions. Emotions can become trapped in the body (especially if we're consciously trying to ignore them) so movement is a great way to help release them.

👉🏽 Above all else, remember to be kind and patient with yourself, today and every day - you deserve it 💕✨

Is there a more satisfying view than our Honestly Good smoothie packets, all snuggled up in their delivery box? 👀🤩

Happy World Coffee Day! ☕️

We appreciate that today you'll be celebrating coffee and probably not thinking too much about smoothies but, from tomorrow, instead of drinking a coffee every time you need an energy boost, why not turn to Wake Me Up occasionally? 🤩

The secret ingredient in Wake Me Up is Maca Root which, amongst many other things, is amazing for boosting energy levels, especially during exercise! 🏋🏽

Maca Root is also super nutritious containing Vitamin C, Copper, Iron, Potassium, Vitamin B6 and Manganese. It can also help to improve mood, memory and learning - all of which will add to your energy and help you to feel tip top! 🌟

Who needs caffeine when you have Maca huh?! 💛

Happy International Day of Peace 🙏🏼🎉

We celebrated today by blending up a smoothie bowl and taking some time out in the sunshine ☀️ to meditate and de-stress.

We used our The Cacaonut One smoothie as the base to this smoothie bowl and topped with frozen berries, blitzed up cashews and Cacao Crunch 🤩

It’s nearing the end of the summer months ☀️ but what better way to maintain the sunshine than one of our favourite summery and exotic smoothies - The South American One!

Pineapple, Blueberry, Avocado and Broccoli combine in this taste sensation to give you powerful health benefits and great flavour at the same time. It contains:

🍍 1/2 Cup of Pineapple
🥦 1 and 1/2 Florets of Broccoli
🥒 1/4 Cucumber
🍇 2/5 Cup of Blueberries
🥜 1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
✨ 2 Tsp Maqui Berry
✨ 1 Tsp Camu Powder

You then need to add 270ml of a liquid of your choice and blend until thick and smooth 🙂

Not only does it taste amazing, The South American One also provides these health benefits:

✨ Macqui Berry - has up to three times the antioxidants of blueberries and it is a rich and particularly bioavailable source of anthocyanins which help combat cell damage and inflammation.

🍍 Pineapple - contains lots of vitamin C which is essential for proper immune function, collagen synthesis (important for great skin!) and in providing antioxidant support. It is also rich in manganese which plays a role in energy production - exactly what we need during the incoming colder months!

🍇 Blueberries - are a good source of antioxidants and phytochemicals, in particular those associated with heart health. They also have anti-inflammatory properties and have been found to help stabilise blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.

Guidelines vary depending upon where you look but the average adult should have around 0.8g of protein per kilo of body weight everyday. In pounds, that's about 0.4g of protein per pound.

In reality, many adults consume no where near this! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Protein is key for structural and functional elements within every cell of the human body and is used in many metabolic processes too. All cells and tissues contain protein, that's why it's so important for the maintenance of good health.

One really easy way to boost your protein intake each day is to add it to your smoothies, here's a few of our favourite ways:

✨ yoghurts, especially greek and plain yoghurts

✨ tofu, it's great for creating a thick and creamy smoothie too

✨ oats contain up to 11g of protein per cup and also help to create a filling smoothie

✨ nuts (including cashews, almonds and walnuts) and seeds (including flax, h**p, pumpkin and sunflower). You can also add nut and seed butters to smoothies if you don't have the nuts and seeds themselves

✨ kefir is a lot like yoghurt but instead is a fermented milk based drink. It contains up to 8 grams of protein per cup and stirring it into your smoothies is a great way to add it to your diet

✨ cacao nibs are low in sugar compared to other sources of chocolate. They’re also a good source of protein as well as other nutrients like iron and magnesium

Of course, you can always just opt for a protein powder however we here at Honestly Good love to get our nutrients from the foods themselves where possible 🥰
