Very good.

Action on Sugar calls for the removal of misleading sugar claims from sweet snacks for babies and toddlers - Food Matters Live The campaign wants misleading sugar claims to be taken off baby and toddler packaging after finding dangerous level of sugar in sweet snacks

Motivation gets you started but habits keep you going. Indeed motivation is needed at the beginning but it is very unlikely it is going to stay with you all the time. What can stick, instead, is a good habit.⁠⠀
Sugarlibre is based on creating good habits that stay. Yes, we do recipes and stuff, but believe me, quitting sugar is not just about replacing it with other so-called "healthier" food.⁠⠀
The program is on its way back. Stay tuned.⁠⠀
With love, .⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀

Happy Holidays!
Stay cosy and stay libre.

Lots of love to you all!

This was another chia pudding morning to match with the glorious sun shining 🌞🌼.
It's made with almond milk and yellow kiwi fruit (kiwini?).
Have you ever tried it? It's delicious and it reminds me of passion fruit 💛

Do you know the story of the butterfly?
⁠For a butterfly to become the majestic being that it is, it needs to go through a deep transformation process. Born as a caterpillar, when the time comes to grow and spread wings this creature turns into "mush". It basically eat itself to create the space and the conditions to grow new cells, those of an incredibly beautiful, free, pride and friendly butterfly 💗
So please know that changes are tough and sometimes they require you to question who you believe you are, your lifelong beliefs and the environment you are in. But changes are necessary and the outcome is always rewarding.
Cheers to a new you!

Temperature goes down, comfort food cravings go up! What to do… Just go for it! ⁠⠀
There are plenty of veggies and spices aimed to cuddle and pamper you during Autumn and Winter. They come this time of the year exactly for this purpose. What are they? Think pumpkin and cinnamon, for instance, as with Sugarlibre Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats. ⁠⠀

Find your flow. Do you ever feel as if nothing works for you when it comes to having a stable and harmonious relationship with food?
Surprise surprise, I totally get that. Indeed I have been struggling with food for so many years, so long that it became an obsession. It all changed when I gave up sugar and little by little, learned to surrender and let go of the diet mentality.
It's about time we all ditch that damaging diet mentality! Enough with making us feel inadequate if we do not conform to "image standards" that are disrespectful of the person. Diets only paint the world dark while life is supposed to be a feast of colours flowing.
Stay with us if you like the thought of living in flow and free from food obsessions.

Are you looking for snacks ideas? How about a little Apple Sandwich filled with almond butter? I like to add some crushed almonds too for a crunchier texture. It's a quick and delicious option that even kids adore!
What is your favourite snack?

Summer is in full swing! Anyone else is craving some all natural, guilt-free, added sugar-free popsicles?⁠

Do you think plain packaging for sugary snacks could help reduce the abuse of sugar in young people?

Is it time to treat sugar like smoking? A leading think tank is suggesting plain packaging should be adopted for sugary foods.

Today is the World Environment Day. Are you in?
According to the UN "an opportunity to broaden the basis for an enlightened opinion and responsible conduct by individuals, enterprises and communities in preserving and enhancing the environment”.
This year the theme is Beat Air Pollution.
What can we do?
Yes, waste burning and industrial transport are obviously causing a lot of air pollution. When you feel you are too little to change this, think about who the industry is doing this for? It is doing it for you so that you can keep your comfortable lifestyle. If you change it, the industrial world will adapt to you.
What action steps can you take?
Maybe walk, bike or take public transport instead of your car, reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use. Buy your food in bulk and bring your containers when you do. This is also a strong point of .
Just start. We count on you.

Well done Unpackaged and Waitrose!
Especially good news on this week.

(To think that you Unpackaged guys were the among the first companies I sent my CV to when I moved to London many years back :-) )

I don't know where in the world you are right now but in Venice, Italy, it's pretty gloomy. So we are looking for sunshine elsewhere, like in this glorious fresh zesty citrus smoothie 🍋☀️🍊
What's the weather like today around you?

Yesterday I posted about my experience with artificial sweeteners and why I believe we should avoid them.
Then today I received the article I am linking in the first comment.
This one is also "Mental Health" week. Let's remember that our mind is our body and for it to work well we need to eat natural wholesome food.

Just when I thought I was eating sugar-free... - Sugarlibre I thought I was doing good with my ability to avoid sugar, years ago. It wasn’t even that difficult, honestly. I was just favouring zero-calorie sodas or sugar-free sweets, where sugar was substituted with artificial sweeteners. The most important thing, after all, was not eating the calories. But...

May 20th, last round of Sugarlibre. Summer is around the corner and don't you want to feel at your best? Getting off sugar can surely help you achieve that. Did you know I thought I was a lazy underachiever by birth? Turns out I was made lazy by sugar. Once I cut it out of my diet, I became super active and happy.
Now is the best time to join. Get ready! www.sugarlibre.com/program (registrations will close on May 17th).

We are always so proud of our Food Scientist Dr Sara G. Diaz.
Here is a very nice article on Edible Beauty. If it is true that skin rashes are the manifestation of turbulence inside our guts, then it must also be true that clear, clean skin can be obtained when your microbiome is at peace.
Thank you Dr Sara and Vilda Magazine.

Last round of Sugarlibre before Summer, starting on May 20th. And then we might take a vacation. If you are planning to start a sugarfree way of life, this is your last chance before Summer 2019. This does not mean you will be depriving yourself of ice cream at the beach. It means you will be able to choose whether to have it or not, rather than just being pulled and hooked by it with no say.
CIick here and join us soon: http://sugarlibre.com/program/ Spaces are limited. See you there!

Sugarlibre Wild Buddha Bowl is always such a cosy meal option, regardless of the time of year. So tasty and filling. Asian inspired recipe without the added sugar you would normally find in the Asian cuisine. Still yum!

It's not your fault. While on one hand we believe you are the result of all the choices you have made so far and no one else is to take credit (or blame) for it, on the other hand if you have not succeeded in giving up sugar in the past it was not entirely your fault. Look around you. Sugar is advertised massively everywhere, you were given sweets as a reward when you were a child, it is added in most recipes, just impossible to avoid. So try again! With more awareness this time. Ask for support, you don't have to do it alone.

It is about how having fewer options to choose from is a good thing.
It's again about freedom.
Think about it :-)

How my love for animals kept me sane.

Did you know that Spring is one of the best moment to detox your body? You can try and put on the side some things that you know weigh you down and in the meantime maybe add some herbs like parsley and coriander to your meals. Like in this very heart-warming Detox Soup we have among Sugarlibre recipes. A new round is starting very soon, by the way. How is May 20th for you? Last round before Summer break.
