Smoothie or Juice – what is the difference
There is so much talk about smoothies and juices, but it seems that the majority of the people don’t really know what is the difference between the two. Very often I am being asked what is the difference between juice and a smoothie (juicing vs blending). Is one better than the other one? Which one…
The importance of staying hydrated
Couple of weeks ago I decided to take part in a one week water challenge. I have never had problems drinking enough water, but I thought that it would actually be fun to track for one week my water intake.

BBQ as a “vegan”
My husband and I (meanwhile also our kids) love having a BBQ. We love having friends over, and just spend a relaxed evening grilling and enjoying a few drinks. To me personally BBQ is a form of relaxation, and to some extend freedom. But what do I do since I don’t eat meat anymore? I…
