An accidental travel photo from my purse

I am in the midst of my USA speaking and workshop tour right now, meeting incredible, conscious people at every turn who are ready and willing to change. I know how blessed I am to have the opportunity to inspire, motivate and coach amazing people of such high calibre. I say thank you for this gift daily.

More than ever before, I am driven to get the message of just how healthy, happy and fulfilled you can feel – in your body and your life – to as many willing men and women as possible. The time for big scale change is now, and my purpose is to help deliver it to my greatest potential. That certainly gets my motor revving .

I’ve always shared with anyone who asks me that my greatest passion and mission in life is to create a ripple effect of change in our world. To move us more towards a community of vibrant, healthy, openminded, conscious individuals who support and love each other while pursuing what brings you bliss and allows you to step into your full power.

I see my role as a coach, speaker and author as the delivery method by which I can help to create this ripple effect. The more I can inspire and support you to achieve every dream that has ever entered your mind and heart, the more passionately and authentically you will live, with amazing health of course, and you will inspire countless others to also make changes just by living in your truth.

That being said, I only have so much capacity to reach people! That’s why my focus this year is on providing even more and greater ways to educate and motivate you to live the life you want in a body you love. Speaking events, running workshops, guiding cleanses and health programs – these are all ways this is happening.

Things are busy. Really busy. I love working one on one with clients, but I have very little time left for private coaching. I love it, so I don’t intend to give it up completely right now, but I am dramatically limiting the number of clients I work with privately.

I have decided to re-open my exclusive Strut Your Stuff Private Coaching Package for just 10 people. With this package, you can choose to work with me for either 3 or 6 months of coaching and support (expect serious body, health, happiness and life transformation!).

You will be excited and shocked at how far you can come in a matter of months with me coaching and cheering you on every step of the way. You will get clear on what you want, know exactly how to achieve it, take the steps to do so with me at your side, and see unbelievable results quickly.

You will break through limiting beliefs and self sabotaging behaviours. You will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes, no matter how “ashy” or “non-ashy” your ashes are right now. There’s more for you. This is your time – your only time.

I will only be taking 10 new private clients for this package. If you are ready to rise up and be the healthiest, happiest and most fulfilled you, the one you dream of in those quiet moments, the one you know is deep down inside you and just needs the right opportunity to step out with power, confidence and authenticity, this is the right opportunity for you.

Of course as I am travelling right now, it means paying plenty of attention to what goes in my body and how I treat myself so that I stay healthy and energetic with my packed schedule. Here are my top 5 secrets to feeling awesome when travelling…

1. Pack, make or buy green vegetable juice at every opportunity.

If you have been reading my blog for a while or have ever connected with me, you’ll know green juice is my daily life-blood. I will do everything in my power to get green juice into my diet every day. There are places this doesn’t happen (like when I was in the middle of the Arizona desert last week at Eden Hot Springs) but I can count on one hand how many times I have compromised my daily juice when travelling…and I travel a lot.

For more tips and ideas on how to make juicing (and healthy eating) on the go work, check out this post,  this post and this post.

2. Pack an enema kit or book in for colonics at your location.

Travel can be extremely constipating. Even the healthiest of bowels can slow down dramatically with air travel, lots of sitting, time zone, climate, diet and hydration changes, new routines (or no routine),  and so on. Keeping things moving out of you is essential for maintaining high energy and helping your body to adjust to all the new circumstances you face when you travel without backing you up.

Constipation is not fun and will lead to sickness and fatigue if not remedied. Use your enema kit or book in for a colonic or two. You will then be ready to dance the night away (while still fitting your jeans)!

3. Hydrate.

It sounds simple but it can be very easy when you are out of routine to drink less than your body normally likes. Between having inconsistent access to high quality water sources, having to carry it with you, and not having a regular schedule, your water consumption can drop dramatically. And so too will your health, energy and happiness.

Hydration is critical. Drink a litre of water (32 oz) before you eat breakfast every day while travelling, sip on herbal teas and water every time you stop, drink a glass of water before you eat each meal or snack (ideally 10 minutes before or more) and always plan for high quality water to be ready and waiting for you in the morning at your accommodation.

4. Eat fresh vegetables.

Another simple one but also easy to overlook when travelling. It’s naturally more challenging to find the beautiful, fresh salads you might make yourself at home for every meal when you don’t have your kitchen or favourite grocery store to work with, but you can order side salads, buy fresh vegetables to take out to restaurants or on the road with you, or make chopped salads or eat whole vegetables with avocado in your accommodation. I do at least one of the above every day of my travels. It keeps me hydrated, eating alkaline and feeling energetic.

5. Move every day.

Travelling is the perfect opportunity to get outside and move daily with new sights and landscapes to see and explore. I adore walking across entire cities or exploring Mother Nature in all her glory in smaller towns or rural locations. A rest day here and there with plenty of functional movement plus bike ride or walking tours, local hikes and new fitness classes if you fancy it makes for an active travel experience that will keep you feeling your best.

Now it’s your turn to travel and come back with more health, vitality and energy than before you leave. Now that’s hot!

After many days of no sleep and what seems like countless flights, I arrived in New York City last week and have been settling in since.

I had the pleasure of attending a launch night in NYC last week where I got to meet in person some of my online business and health friends who I have interacted with and/or worked with for the past few years. Among them, Marie Forleo, Kris Carr, Gabrielle Bernstein, Danielle LaPorte, Tara Stiles and Muneeza Ahmed.

I’ve really mixed it up with my activities so far. Between hot nights out in the city, I’ve played scrabble and made raw ice cream. Yup, I like to keep you guessing .

Raw Raspberry Gelato with a side of Scrabble

There’s nothing like a sweet, creamy raw ice cream recipe to please the crowds (or eat all by yourself). The recipe I have to share with you today is one of my very favourites for many reasons:

• It’s made only with the highest quality, clean ingredients
• It’s insanely delicious
• It digests beautifully even with the fruit and fat combination (because of the low sugar fruit and high water content in the avocado)
•  It uses stevia as the primary sweetener other than the berries. Stevia is an ideal sweetener if you are trying to lose weight, helps to balance blood sugar levels and diabetic conditions and doesn’t feed candida overgrowth in the body
• It’s simple and easy to make – you will be eating it in 5 minutes flat
• It uses avocado, an incredible healthy fat, and raspberries with their very high antioxidant and vitamin content
• Kids, partners and friends love it
• It transports you to a sexy Italian holiday location with gelato, the Mediterranean and the passionate dialect of beautiful Italian men and women. Or maybe that’s just me?

Raspberry Sorbet

Ingredients:

1 large avocado

Juice of 1 lime (or more)

2 cups of frozen raspberries

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

15 drops of NuNaturals stevia (add more as desired – I like lots). You can use vanilla stevia if you prefer

Optional extras for toppings: fresh or frozen whole raspberries, freeze dried berries or other fruits, high quality 70% plus dark or raw chocolate chopped into pieces

Directions:

Put all ingredients together in a food processor fitted with the “S” blade or into a high speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec. Add the berries into the processor straight from the freezer so they add the icy effect.

Process until the mixture is only just well combined as you don’t want to lose the ice cream consistency and turn it into a liquid…although this does make a great shake too!

Serve with toppings of choice and lick up every last drop while dreaming of sunshine and sea!

Have you made raw ice cream before? What’s your favourite flavour combination?

I’ll be back with more experiences to share soon as I continue my travels. Expect some pretty amazing photos and insights into my world!

You’re eating healthier, you’re taking homemade guacamole to parties and the sight of vegetables laying around your house is pretty routine these days.

You’re getting healthier, and you’re looking and feeling better for it.

Congratulations, rockstar! I am thrilled for you!

Now it’s time to up the ante. You’re ready for the next level.

To go from good to mind-blowing on the health and happiness scale. I hear you. It’s a motivating goal.

There are some very effective ways to do just this – to maintain the improved health you have already achieved long term, and to take your health and body up many notches so the rewards and your life experience just keep on getting better.

Give me a Hell YEAH!

Nice job, thanks .

Which brings me to the gift I have for you today, one I am very excited to share.

A question I get every week, even daily, is how to make fresh vegetable juice. Today I am sharing with you the two main ways to make juice so that all you need to do is actually put it into action. Now, preferably .

Big exciting heads up: the Get Juicy cleanse has had a makeover and it is seriously better than ever! If you are looking forward to lots of chocolate and social gatherings this long weekend for Easter (or just because!), but are dreading the bumpy skin, wobbly thighs and round middle that you can feel coming right along with it, then stay tuned for the big reveal on Tuesday – it’s perfect for a post Easter tune up to get you into hotter shape in the most nourishing way, and fast too!

There are two main ways to make juice, depending on the equipment you have. It is not essential to buy expensive juicers or blenders. If you already have a simple juicer or blender, you can simply use that in conjunction with a nut milk bag (or muslin cloth) for easy, fast, pulp/fibre-free juices.

Juicers are machines specifically made to separate out the liquids from the solids of produce such as fruits and vegetables, whereas blenders are more versatile machines that can be used to blend into a liquid/puree anything from soups to smoothies to baby foods.

I’ve juiced using juicers, and using a blender combined with a nut milk bag to separate out the fibre, and get great juices using either method. From a nutritional perspective, the more expensive juicers usually provide a higher quality of juice, as they don’t get as heated or oxidised from the machine.

The main difference in the two methods from a practical standpoint is in the preparation and clean up involved. When using a juicer, you can often just grab the produce and start juicing, with a minimum of cutting beforehand, whereas when using the blender method it’s best to cut down all produce before adding it to the blender.

On the other hand, there tends to be more clean-up time involved with juicers and less with blenders. If you happen to have access to both a juicer and blender, then you can use this knowledge to your advantage. If, for example, you have 5 minutes to juice before you need to get out of the house, it might be a better choice to run the things quickly through the juicer and deal with the clean-up later (although cleaning up straight away is always easiest!).

How To Juice

When using organics, there is no need to remove the skin from your foods, as it contains many nutrients that are beneficial. Only peel your fruits and vegetables if they are conventional (not organic). If you are using a high powered blender like a Vita-Mix or Blendtec in combination with straining through a nut milk bag, you can keep the seeds of your fruits in too, as these will be strained out. When using a juicer or less powerful blender, consult your user’s manual for removing seeds from various fruits before juicing.

With A Juicer:

Cut all your produce into pieces that will fit into your juicer before you start juicing. This makes the whole process easier and smoother. Feed the produce through the juicer chute one at a time. The liquid of the produce will be separated from the pulp/fibre. You drink the juice and watch your health and energy transform!

With A Blender and Nut Milk Bag:

Chop all the produce you intend to blend into pieces. If you’re using a high-powered blender, you will not need to cut things very small. With a less powerful machine, it’s better to chop into small pieces.

Depending on the size and power of your blender, you might also want to start with small batches, adding water or coconut water to the chopped produce, to help with the breakdown of the food. Adding enough water to cover the blades of the machine is usually adequate to get things going.

Blend the foods for the shortest amount of time possible, to avoid heating the produce and increasing oxidisation – just long enough to ensure the produce is completely liquefied.

Place the nut milk bag over the opening of a jug or a mixing bowl (it’s helpful if it is wide or deep enough to get both hands in for squeezing the bag). Once you have liquefied the produce, pour it into the nut milk bag in batches and squeeze. You will feel like you are milking a cow .

Discard the dry pulp afterwards and enjoy the juice as soon as possible after.

Fresh juice is always best but if the only way you can get your juice in is to make it well in advance, then go for it. Keep it in an airtight container, as cold as possible (you can even freeze it and drink it as it defrosts) and drink it as soon as you can and feel hungry for it – don’t force it done just for freshness sake.

That, my friends, is how you make juice!

Looking forward to sharing the exciting juicy love with you on Tuesday!

What juicing method do you use and why?

Happy Easter if you celebrate.

Yesterday I stacked it (Aussie code for “fell over”) while going up some stairs holding a giant green juice and a giant French cake (the former for me, the latter for my mum).

My long skirt got caught under my foot and I fell forward cutting up various body parts. Both the juice and cake went flying. I even put my knee through the cake as I landed to make sure it was extra squashed.

Universe, what message were you telling me? Surely the green juice cancelled out the cake?

Maybe if I had been holding the Quinoa Sprout Salad I’m about to share with you today in the other hand, instead of the French cake, I would have gracefully flowed up those stairs and back to the safe cup holder and slightly more even surfaces of my car.

This salad is incredibly easy to make and highly nutritious. It uses a delicious combination of fresh, hydrating, enzyme-rich live sprouts and veggies and the comfort of cooked quinoa to provide a wonderful dinner.

Top it with some omega 3 rich oil and avocado slices plus seasoning and you have yourself an experience, not just a dinner. I ate mine on my patio staring at the surfers…err ocean. Delicious all round .

Before I share the salad with you, I am very excited that my Renew Weight Loss Success Course starts in under one week!

Over 5 weeks, weight loss expert and author Philip McCluskey and I will personally guide you to lose weight, balance and optimise your body and mind, and experience a new level of energy and confidence that you will fall in love with!

Just think…how much happier and more fulfilled would you be if you could eat an abundance of delicious food guilt-free, while balancing your weight and loving what you see in the mirror?

Can you imagine how much more you would enjoy every day of your life, how much more you would show up for your loved ones and your own passions if you felt good in your body?

Having a body that feels strong, slim, energetic and healthy is essential for you to do this. You will have more freedom not only in your body but your mind and emotions too.

The Renew: Weight Loss Success Program guides you over 5 weeks to easily and effectively balance your weight with a nourishing natural approach to your food and body.

What a weekend it’s been! Mine has whizzed past in a blur or work and workshops and it is continuing the same way right through the public holiday here tomorrow. I did manage a beautiful beach side walk today though – stunning!

Due to the technology issues I already spoke about, there is no video for days 2 and 3 of my update on the Get Juicy 10 Day Cleanse I am doing and running – unless you want to wait 3 days for them to upload . So I am here with a written update.

First, you can sign up right away for the cleanse here! Please do say hi in the comments if you are going to join me for serious results! Woohoooo!!!

My beloved green juice

On day 2 I was hungry. I was at workshops all day and was fine until late afternoon when hunger struck. I had plenty of green juice earlier in the day but when my day went much longer than planned the hunger kicked in.

The first few days of juice fasting or even lighter eating can bring some hunger as you adjust. In these moments I recommend drinking more juice, or if you are out like I was, find a juice bar, take more juice with you than you’ll expect you need and/or drink plenty of water, herbal tea or whatever liquids you can to get you through.

Organisation is key to succeeding with a juice fast unless you have a juice delivery company that can prepare your juices for you so you can simply purchase, pack and go.

I also suggest doing one or more enemas and/or colonics in the first few days of juice fasting to release the waste being drawn up. This will help keep symptoms of detoxification at bay and help to quell cravings.

I’ve also noticed that with everything happening in my personal life, there are some emotions coming up. Allowing your emotions to come up, acknowledging them and then letting them go is one of my favourite and most valued parts of a fast.

You can do this every day no matter what your diet and lifestyle, but during a fast, when you don’t have chewing or the weight of food in your body to distract or numb you, it is a wonderful opportunity to release emotion even more.

This might all happen in the flash of a second, or you might need a good hour of crying and smacking your pillow or talking to a loved one. Juicing is such a wonderful way to see what is really coming up for you – it’s hard to supress and weigh yourself down on a diet of fresh juice. I had a good cry for a minute at a time at least three times yesterday . This is a really positive thing as crying is a biochemical and physical release.

Now that days 2 and 3 of the Get Juicy Cleanse are over, things usually run smoother than ever. The first 3 days of cleansing are typically the most challenging. Get through this hump and you will find the process so much easier and in fact really pleasurable. You’ll especially find it easy as you watch your body, mental clarity and perspective transform!

Here’s what I have been enjoying the last couple of days:

• 2L of Mexicana Green Juice each day

• 1L of carrot/cos lettuce juice
• Coconut water
• Herbal teas and water

Back in the next day or two (technology permitting!) with more updates of the Get Juicy Cleanse. You can sign up right now to get started and join in the fun

Wow, technology and I sure haven’t gotten along in the last 48 hours. I moved recently and am experiencing some serious issues with my internet connection. It’s erratic, unreliable and rather frustrating when you run an internet-dependent business.

To say I have had a great test of my ability to stay present in the moment and be patient and thankful for every experience is a bit of an understatement. Combined with an intense work schedule, trauma and tragedy in my personal life, moving home/office and making arrangements to travel for 3 months, it’s fair to say things have been a little crazy!

Technology, can you please be a little more cooperative through this time?

Why thank you. I do appreciate it, endlessly .

Finally, a day late, here I am with my first video for Day 1 of the Get Juicy Cleanse. Are you joining me for the fun and transformation of body and mind? I am excited to share with you my personal experience, professional tips and advice each day for the next 10 days. Fun!

You can register to get started with the cleanse by clicking here.

Before I share the video for day 1 with you, I have some exciting news! My new 5 week live coaching program at Entheos Academy For Optimal Living is now available for registration!

Do you have any questions you would like me to answer over the next 10 days about juice cleansing or my personal experience with the juice fast? Please do ask away in the comments below and I’ll cover as many as I can.

If you have been reading my blog for some time you’ll know I am a huge fan of vegetable juicing. In fact, it’s a part of my regime every single day. Why? Because it makes me feel fantastic! My energy is strong, my moods balanced, my mind clear and I feel my best in every way when I juice.

In fact it’s such a huge part of my secret to feeling my very best that in the last four years I can count on one hand the days I haven’t had juice. Probably on two fingers. Yes that means there have been two days I haven’t had juice. You’re good with your math .

I have also guided many people around the world to include juicing in their daily routine, and even juice fast on an abundance of delicious fresh juices, while watching their body and mind transform.

Some of the results they have achieved include huge weight loss, glowing skin, reduction or disappearance of symptoms, reduction or getting off medication entirely, superhero-like energy, all day long mental clarity and focus, emotional balance, greater confidence, self worth and so much more. This is the power of juicing when done intelligently in harmony and support of the body’s natural functions.

In January, weight loss expert, motivational speaker, author, and juicing superstar Philip McCluskey and I joined forces to offer our 21 day New Year’s Get Juicy Cleanse with incredible success. The results were mind blowing! We have now created a 10 Day Get Juicy Cleanse program which officially kicks off today! The good news is that you can start anytime you like and still be guided through the 10 day program.

Register now by clicking here!

I am very happy to announce the 4 stevia winners today – woohoo!! I also have a new favourite juice recipe to share with you today that I am seriously in love with. Holy yumballs. Before I get to these, a couple of reminders:

1. The 4 week Raw Done Right program run by Marlena Torres and I starts this coming Monday the 27th of February.

To bag one of the limited spots for yourself and any interested family or friends, simply click here to reserve your spot!

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while (hello and thank you! ), you’ll know that I have a thing for my daily green juice. To my new readers, now you know my deep, dark secret.

Do I get bored? Nope. Never. A big part of that is the way I mix them up with little variations that really change the flavour. Today’s recipe is an example of that. Some others are my Mexicana Green Juice, Cinnamon Lime Green Juice, and Cinnamon Spiced Carob or Chocolate Milk Juice.

This recipe is a delicious combination of fresh mint, hot and spicy fresh chilli (love a good kick!), hydrating cucumber and celery and stevia and lime for extra flavour and sweetness. In short, it’s freaking awesome!

One of my favourite tips for my clients (and myself!) is to get to know your herbs. Adding fresh basil, dill, mint, thyme, oregano, coriander/cilantro, rosemary or any other favourites to your salads, dips, smoothies, juices, dressings and soups takes them from not bad, to holla!

Chilli Mint Green Juice

4 stalks celery

2 large cucumbers (peeled if not organic)

3 leaves of silverbeet or chard

4 stalks of kale

1 very small fresh chilli (or use less to start)

2 limes

1 small handful of mint leaves

1 small knob of ginger

Stevia to taste

Juice all ingredients, taste, adjust chilli and stevia and serve!

So delicious!

Do you use herbs in your juices or food? Leave me a comment below and let me know. I love hearing from you!

Now for the stevia winners!

Congratulations to:

Njari Johnson
