Citrus fruits are fresh in season and they are loaded with vitamin C! Perfect for these winter months. A great tip, that I talk about often, is to start your day with a warm glass of lemon water to clear the toxins and start up your metabolism for the day!

Vitamin C, is such an amazing nutrient to boost your collagen production, helping your natural turn-over of your cells, which results in bright nourished skin!

So of course I had to create something chocolately, orangey and fricken YUM!

I just bloody love bliss balls, they are the best thing to have in the fridge or freezer when you need a snack.

Good for curbing sugar cravings, filling you up when you just want to pick at foods and they are jam packed with all the yummy nutrients, good fats, carbs, fibre  AKA THE SHIZZ!!

Enjoy!
