Flora Supplements Calendar – Autumn
October 8, 2020
We hope you’ve been enjoying our seasonal Flora Supplement Calendar and associated posts throughout the year.

Staying Active During Pandemic Times
September 28, 2020
By Ellie Greenwood I’m sure like many of you, my exercise routine took a hit when social distancing and lockdown measures came into force in mid-March. I was no longer able to go swimming (an activity I use for cross training to supplement my running) and my twice weekly gym sessions were put on hold.

Green Smoothie by Ellie Greenwood
May 23, 2019
I start practically every day with a homemade green smoothie. I find it’s a delicious and easy way to start the day with a punch of vitamins and nutrients. It ensures that I get a good dose of veggies without even thinking about it. A homemade smoothie also avoids the wasteful single-use plastic bottles that store-bought versions generate. If mornings are busy for you, prepare your smoothie the night before, store in the fridge, and simply blend in seconds when…
