A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
One of the fruits that is almost always available at our home is avocado. The mil loves avos. So do I. And we are training the girls to love avos too. They are starting to like avo spread on their bread, avo salad, avo sushi and avo smoothie. Here’s the avocado-milk smoothie that I made…
I am a nutty mummy. I love anything that has coconut in it. Whether it is plain coconut water, coconut milk, coconut flesh or grated coconut meat, I am game for it! The other day I bought a packet of grated coconut meat to go with steamed lin goe. As it was a big packet,…
Upon recommendation of a friend, I got myself a bottle of Bilberry to improve my vision and to reduce the tiredness of my eyes. I chose Blackmores, which is my most trusted brand for supplements. A bottle of 60 tabs cost RM75, or equivalent to RM1.25 per tab! Pretty costly but worth a try and…

I bought a Dole Tropical Gold sweet pineapple from Jusco the other day. It was delicious, juicy and sweet but it cost a whopping RM7 each!! Last week, I saw it at a fruit stall and it was selling at RM7.80 each and I bought it too. I love sweet pineapples and can even polish…

Many, many years ago, there was a tall guava tree outside our house. It was my favorite tree as I would climb the tree and stay up there for a long time. Sometimes I would pluck ripe guavas and sometimes I would hang from branch to branch like a monkey! That old guava tree bore…
