My Kitchen Essentials

I use very many different supplements to boost my morning juices, smoothies and porridge – these are some of my current essentials which are both firm kitchen cupboard staples, and on rotation – depending on season and need.

I know this is a lot and rather overwhelming – I am still learning as well! I also know I do quite a lot; I’ve been trialling and testing what works for my body and specific health issues. Even if you just adapt 1 or 2 things of these supplements in your diet, it’s plenty (alongside eating more veggies in general!). I also do a lot of these in rotation, to vary it up!

Happy Friday everyone!
