Time, best bean salad and how to hack your gut
Hello Lovely People
Like a blur, another week races past. Most of us are trying our best to grasp hold of time and not let it slip away. How are you doing with that?
Something to Think About
“Whether it is the best of times or the worst of times, it is the only time we have” Art Buchwald
Something to Make
Cath’s Four Bean Salad
Ingredients
400g can four bean mix
1/2 bunch coriander (you can substitute with your favourite herb if coriander is not your thing)
40g roasted almonds, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
Dressing
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp olive oil
Method
- Drain and rinse the four bean mix
- Add beans, coriander, chopped almonds and red onion to a bowl and combine
- Mix the dressing ingredients and drizzle over the salad
- Eat immediately or let the beans and dressing marinate for a few hours time to enhance the flavours.
Something to Do
Last week I watched the new documentary on Netflix called “Hack Your Health – The Secrets of Your Gut.” It was super interesting and so easy to watch but best of all – presented by real experts not pretend ones. The use of great visuals, engaging interviews and easy take home messages, make this a great watch for the whole family. The best part is how simple it can be to grow that internal garden of ours. Make time, grab your high fibre popcorn and a Kombucha and plonk yourself on the couch!
PS. Today I head off with a lovely bunch of people to my Autumn Recharge Retreat at the gorgeous Yungarra Estate in the south-west of Western Australia. Four days of being in nature, eating delicious food (all prepped by me), a spot of walking, soaking up some quiet relaxation time and hanging with some lovely peeps. My next West Australian retreat will be in October and bookings have already begun. If this one interests you, get in touch at julie@juliemeek.com.au before it fills up.
For an Italian adventure, Tuscany calls on the 29th June – 6th July. The full rundown on this magical week can be found here. I do have some spots available…. Does 2024 have your name on it? All details for both retreats can be found here.
Until next week
Julie
