I've been admiring Miranda Kerr for years (some people may call me one of her biggest fans so look out for more posts about Miranda). The much adored super model is such a great advocate of healthy living, she is so radient and full of life and appears to not age at all. How does she do it?, well here is what Australia's Body+Soul www.bodyandsoul.com.au says is in her shopping trolley:
Liquid Chlorophyll
Miranda says: "I add this to my water most days. It is naturally alkaline and contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids."Certified Organic Coconut Palm Sugar
Miranda says: "This is a great substitute for regular white sugar, as it’s low-GI."Maca Root Powder
Miranda says: "Rich in amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, it’s great to mix into smoothies, yoghurt, cereal, oatmeal or muesli."Tamari Almonds
Miranda says: "I rarely leave the house without a small bag of these. They’re the perfect snack while I am on the road and I can never get enough."Noni Juice
Miranda says: "This is my worst-kept beauty secret. I drink it daily and noni extract is part of my Kora Organics range. It aids the immune system because of the number of vitamins and minerals it contains."Raw dark chocolate
Miranda says: "This is my weakness. It’s rich in antioxidants though, and I’m happy to remind myself of that!"Coconut Water
Packed with electrolytes, coconut water is being billed as a powerful natural hydrator. While more research is needed into its health benefits, it is an undeniable source of vitamins C and B, protein, calcium, iron and zinc. It has very little sugar and zero fat.Cacao powder
Miranda says: "This is one of the best sources of muscle-relaxing, stress-relieving magnesium. I often use cacao powder in shakes."Cacao is also rich in amino acids, beta-carotene, zinc and iron.
Acai Berry Powder
Miranda says: "I sprinkle it on my porridge, gluten-free cereal or smoothie."Acai berries are a rich source of antioxidants and the powder is easily added to foods.
Chia
Miranda says: "I use [chia seed oil] or seeds in shakes. They’re also great for thickening a healthy muffin mix".Chia is rich in antioxidants and omega-3. As it has little taste, the oil can be added to food or used in baking while the seeds are sprinkled on cereals.
Raw honey
Miranda says: "It’s 100 per cent natural and deliciously sweet."Research shows honey may have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a healthier alternative to cane sugar.
Goji Berries
Miranda says: "A great snack between meals, goji berries are rich in antioxidants and are said to have more vitamin C than oranges."These berries have been part of traditional Asian medicine for centuries. The Goji Power range supports Tibetan causes.
Organic wine
If you’re attempting a completely organic diet and can’t part with the odd drop, Miranda recommends investigating the new crop of organic wines, many of which are also biodynamic and vegan-friendly.Cacao butter
Cacao butter is prepared by being cold pressed, meaning the edible natural fats of the cocoa bean remain unaltered. Cacao Power Pure Raw Cacao Butter, a vegan alternative to butter, is certified organic and is also recommended as a skin treatment for its natural moisturising properties.Wakame seaweeds
Miranda says: "I snack on [dulse leaf] and wakame seaweeds throughout the day and also put wakame in soups as it is nutritious and tasty."
Seaweed is rich in omega-3, iron and calcium and the red dulse variety is also very high in protein.
You can usually find a delicious recipe on her blog @ Kora organics where she sells her beautiful skin care line made with Noni juice would you believe.
