For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an insatiable appetite for delicious foods using loads of veg and whole foods. I was introduced to wholesome flavour at an early age because mum was a great cook.
Processed and fast food have never been my thing; however, I was addicted to refined sugar for over 25 years. I failed for years in my attempts to quit sugar, and there was always so much angst attached to my food and sugar binges. I’m also well acquainted with binging on everything and anything, finding that the floor was my only comfort while my faithful body tried to figure out how the heck to right the wrong.
In 2008, my life changed. I became a single mum with 5-year-old twin girls. Instead of being unmotivated to cook and gorge on chocolate and chips because my heart was breaking, I ran into the kitchen and started cooking new and delicious meals. Our family dinner table was happy, yummy, and fun amidst the sadness. I also began my green smoothie journey and became more intentional with eating daily nutrient-rich foods and healthy fats, while making clean sweet foods. I began to glow from the inside out, and my addiction to refined sugar started to lose its hold!
