What's your dietary low hanging fruit?

Posted by kathryn in Easier eating

I’ve been talking to clients this week about getting rid of their dietary low hanging fruit. These are the habits and foods which are easy to get rid of.

What do you think about Avofresh?

Posted by kathryn in Labels & advertising

There’s a choice of Smooth, Firm or Chunky and there are three flavours – Original, Seasoned and Spicy. Each tube contains the equivalent of two avocadoes. The avocadoes are grown in Australia and the unopened product stays fresh for four weeks. They’re not completely additive free. Along with …
