Cheers to a super simple mocktail recipe this week

Cheers to a super simple mocktail recipe this week!
I’m sure you all know by now how much I love grapefruit….it’s low in calories, high in nutrients, provides immune support (Vit C) and contains other powerful antioxidants.
With grapefruit, lime and a touch of honey (optional) this non-alcoholic cocktail is perfect to sip during any season. You also have the option to add a splash of ACV to increase the health benefits.
Ingredients
1/3 cup grapefruit juice (fresh is best, but bottled also works)
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp honey (optional - you can add more or less to taste)
Soda water or your favourite kombucha
Method
Place grapefruit juice, lime juice and honey in a glass and stir well.
Add ice and top with soda or your favourite kombucha.
For an extra kick, add a splash of apple cider vinegar.
Cheers and enjoy!

🌹 Easy Rose Lemonade 🌹
It’s Mothers Day on Sunday and my rose lemonade is perfect for the occasion.
It can be made for 1, or you can adjust the quantities to make a large batch - it looks gorgeous in a large pitcher with some sliced lemon!
Aside from the beautiful colour, this mocktail has a beautiful rose aroma that you notice just before sipping which I just love. It feels truly luxurious to drink!
You can find the link to the recipe in my bio 🌹💛
(I purchased my dried rose from The Source Bulk Foods)

For a long time I was focused on answering the que

For a long time I was focused on answering the question:
‘How can I control my drinking?’.
It took me a a long time to realise the question I should have been asking is:
‘Why can’t I control my drinking?’
Then, in January 2020, I participated in a 30 day program that changed my life, and gave me all the answers I needed.
Ad: Those that have been following me for a long time will know I speak about the Live Alcohol Experiment run by Annie Grace and the team at This Naked Mind loudly and passionately.
I have referred so many people to this program since completing it, so I was thrilled when the team asked if I’d partner with them. My answer was an immediate “Yes”!
If you are questioning your relationship with alcohol, wondering why you can’t ‘just have one’, or create rules around alcohol and constantly break them, this program is for you.
Or maybe you’re trying to make healthier choices and you want to educate yourself on how alcohol affects your mind and body, so you can make an informed decision about what role it will play in your life.
It would also be perfect for anyone who has stopped drinking or cut down, but finding bad habits creeping back in.
The best bit? It’s not a quit drinking program. It’s about education and changing your mindset around alcohol. You are free to choose if, when, and how much you drink. No guilt trip, no shame, just facts.
The next round of the Live Alcohol Experiment starts on May 1st and I’ve put an affiliate link to sign up in my bio.
I’m SO passionate about this program and all it stands for. It’s incredible the mindset shift that can take place in only 30 days. This program honestly changed my life.
If you have any questions about the program, feel free to DM me anytime.

I just love it when something so simple tastes so good 💛
This easy mocktail recipe has just 3 ingredients (or 4 if you prefer the sparkling version).
Passionfruit is a rich source of powerful antioxidants and contains high levels of vitamin A and C. It’s known as an immune boosting food and is high in fibre too!
Ingredients
1 passionfruit (you can also use frozen passionfruit pulp)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Citrus or passionfruit coconut water. I used @purecococoast natural coconut water with passionfruit
Soda water (optional)
Method
Scoop passionfruit pulp into a glass.
Add lime juice, coconut water, and lots of ice. Stir well.
For the sparkling version, use half coconut water, half soda water.
You can add a little sweetener if you prefer, but I found this was sweet enough!
Garnish and serve.
Cheers and enjoy!

✨1 YEAR ALCOHOL FREE✨ It’s official, I am 1

✨1 YEAR ALCOHOL FREE✨
It’s official, I am 1 year alcohol free.
And what a year it has been!
I stopped drinking just as the uncertainty of Covid hit and we were in lockdown. While for some people this might have been the easiest time to stop drinking because the social pressures weren’t there, for me personally it was never my social drinking that troubled me.
It was the drinking I did at home, alone, with the kids in the next room.
And during lockdown and for much of the last year I found myself at home, alone (with the kids) for very long days, for months on end.
I honestly shudder to think what that time would have been like if I drank my way through it and am thankful every day that I changed my drinking habits prior.
I have connected with so many wonderful people in the last year.
It’s a beautiful thing that happens when you put yourself out there and are honest and vulnerable about something that to many is considered taboo - like admitting you have a problem with alcohol.
It gives others permission to open up and be honest and vulnerable too. That’s when the best conversation happens and the deepest friendships are made.
Abstaining from alcohol hasn’t solved all my problems. Responsibilities are still there, there are still bad days and lots of challenges. But it is so much easier to manage these things without a hangover and the anxiety that alcohol caused.
One of the things I am proudest of is the example I am setting for our kids. They’ve gone from seeing me drink almost every day and using alcohol as a ‘problem solver’, to finding new, healthier ways to manage challenging days and emotions.
There are so many other things I could say, and this year has been full of lessons, but most of all I want to say THANK YOU for coming on this crazy ride with me.
I am so grateful for you. 💛

It’s Virgin Sangria time! It was so much fun cr

It’s Virgin Sangria time!
It was so much fun creating this gorgeous non-alcoholic Sangria.
Perfect for a crowd, easy to make, AND it looks just gorgeous - I’ll be saving this one for Christmas!
In other news, I have finally found, after a year of searching, an alcohol free red wine that hits the spot for me.
Thank you @edenvalewines for gifting me this Premium Reserve Pinot Noir that worked perfectly for this recipe.
It has ripe red and dark fruit characters, but is still quite savoury and not too sweet. I love that it doesn’t fall away at the finish like so many alcohol free reds.
Even better, the alcohol is removed in such a way that the healthy antioxidants and vitamins from the grapes is maintained.
An alcohol free red with health benefits? Yes please!
You can find the link to the recipe in my bio. And if you don’t have access to Edenvale, a medium bodied fruity red works perfectly for this Sangria.
Cheers and enjoy!
