This is a nice green smoothie that'll have you feeling refreshed! It's made using 5 simple and easy to find ingredients around the Lagos axis.

☆.Recipe: Follyfo's Pawgraba Smoothie.☆

Don’t be alarmed by the title! I just thought I could be cool and create a snazzy name for my smoothies, although not too creative I just mixed up the names of the fruits haha! Well here you have ‘PawGraBa’!

I really love smoothies especially on this healthy journey of mine (well not soo healthy but I try, never give up ay!) To make things easier I normally buy my fruits down, clean and cut them and put them in the freezer, so anytime I want to make a smoothie I just pick them out of the freezer and blend. Be careful with bananas tho, they don’t freeze for too long before getting all mushy, Yuck! Anyways enough of my rambling, peep the recipe below!

Ingredients:

Drinking Yoghurt

Handful cut Pawpaw

2 handfuls of Grapes

3 small Banana

Cinnamon

Water (Optional)

Health Benefits:

Paw Paw - is a satisfying fruit as the high fibre levels mean you stay satisfied longer without taking excess calories.

Banana -  Bananas reduce swelling, protect against type II diabetes, aid weight loss, strengthen the nervous system, and help with the production of white blood cells, all due to high levels of vitamin B-6.

Grapes -Grapes increase the nitric oxide levels in the blood, which prevents blood clots.

Cinnamon -It can lower blood sugar levels, reduce heart disease risk factors, and has a plethora of other impressive health benefits

Method:

Blend, Blend Blend!

Take care, until next time God bless!

☆.Life Update - 3 Years Living In Lagos, Am I Moving Back To London?!☆

It's already 3 years and I can't believe how fast time has flown! Being in Nigeria has had its ups and downs and that's pretty much why I've been so MIA from all forms of social media. I'm trying not to let it weigh me down but I decided to make a video to let you all in on some updates and recent happenings in my life.

I'm definitely going to try and be more constant with posting and get back on my blogging and YouTube game! So for any of y'all that are out there and still follow me, thanks! Hehe.

Check out my video below, explaining it all.

Take care and God bless!

☆.Cooking - Easy Pan Pizza.☆

Comfort food is one of my absolute favourites! You know those times when you just want to pig out, watch a movie and be by yourself (or is it just me? haha). Well it doesn’t always have to be soo unhealthy. I’m gonna show you how you can make an extremely quick and healthier option to ordering out - frying pan pizza! Yes you heard me right, no oven and it’s all done in less than 1 hour. It’s great cause you make it from scratch so you can determine how much ‘unhealthy-ness’ you want to put in it!

Don’t be alarmed by the ingredients below, you can use whatever toppings you like!

☆.Restaurant Review: Cafe Maison☆

Hey Y'all,

Been doing quite a lot of experimenting and visiting around Lagos since my move and I thought it would be a great idea to review some places for ya! Yes living in Lagos can be quite expensive but you gotta treat yourself once in a while ay!

I Visited Cafe Maison in Lekki (25 ,Adelowo Adedeji Street, Lekki Phase 1) with my friends a while ago and it was a nice experience.  There was a bit of a selection and overall service was cool.

We both got the strawberry shortcake drinks very nice!

My friend ordered the Spicy Fried Rice which was yum! I was in a chippy mood (as usual) and got the Club Sandwich and chips, which pretty much just tasted like sandwich and chips tbh lool.

What I ate after this...

A while back I had the privilege of meeting a wonderful and warm spirited lady called Kelechi. Its so amazing when you meet people who have been through a lot and can still remain positive, here's her story below!

Right now I need urgent surgery to correct a worsening scoliosis induced curvature in my spine. I am in pains and my body seems to be shutting down as the weight is becoming much on my system. I need N15m for an urgent corrective surgery in the UK and I appeal that you all chip in to help save my life. Any donation could be paid into my account. Kelechi Uhegwu ruth 0008250589 GTB.
