Innocent Inspires was a series of one-off events where people discussed and debated and were  inspired by the values that INNOCENT DRINKS strongly believe in,with the help of a group of interesting people who do brilliant things everyday.Like the folks at Innocent who invented this – the Wee-o-meter *gasp* hehehe

I was one of the bloggers that attended the Innocent Inspires evening about Taste.Of the group of achievers who spoke to us , the brilliant and inspiring words by Emilie Baltz, Jellymongers – Bompass & Par and the popular  Ms.Marmite – lodged themselves firmly somewhere in the folds of my grey matter. I pull  out these words at will and re-live the evening in my head, it never fails to make me smile and gives me immense hope,courage and enthusiasm to keep going. No idea is too ridiculous to be ignored – better to have tried and failed than to NEVER have tried at all I say:)

by 3 Comments

Hearing of the contest for winning one of 2 free passes to the Food Blogger Connect UK 2012 sponsored by  Vitamix UK, I had to think up of some unique tasty, and healthy smoothie recipe, Lucky for me that I have sampled this smoothie created by Brian the host of London Real TV!

The entries will be judged by Vitamix Chef Bev Shaffer, and the two winners will get to make their recipes with her at the FBC12 Market! Also, all five Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre machines will be given away to #FBC12 attendees during the closing ceremonies.

This is his special recipe and he drinks it every single day and is FIT as a fiddle, I say! And guess what he USES VITAMIX to make this smoothie, cool I say!

Here are the ingredients, give them a whirr in your VITAMIX and drink up folks! Thank Brian in your mind and me for sharing it!
