New Year Resolutionsā€“have you made any?

In previous years, I havenā€™t really set any as I like to continually set little goals and intentions for myself, not just in January. But I think itā€™s an opportunity to reflect, review and refocus.

I absolutely believe in the power of intention and manifesting your own reality, so for a change I have been very clear and written them down with timingsā€“these range from very realistic to extremely challenging. But youā€™ve got to aim high, right?

And Iā€™m joining a gym! Itā€™s the first time in years as I love running outside and have lots of workouts at home but I but I thought it would be fun and we all need a bit of extra motivation sometimes?

And how about food resolutions or New Yearā€™s eating plans? Iā€™m doing some simple things; eating a little less, upping my veg intake, no processed food, just real wholefoods as usual, focusing on training more (i.e. Joining the gym) and cutting back on the glasses of wine. I know Iā€™ll be feeling great again in no time at all.

And my first recipe for 2018ā€“Ice Cream! And this recipe is so simple I wasnā€™t sure if I warranted a separate blog post., but as it tastes so amazing, I decided it did. And simple is pretty good, right?

My Pistachio and matcha ice cream combine some of my favourite flavours. Iā€™m mad for most pistachio desserts, kulfi, baklava.. mmm. And matcha anything and Iā€™m in. So together, Iā€™m a thrilled lady.

My ice cream is just a delicious blend of ripe frozen bananas, creamy coconut yogurt (or coconut cream for an even creamier result), lots of lovely pistachios, vibrant matcha and a splash of maple syrup.

Delicious.
