“Think LA when you think of the superfood bowl,” says Rick. “This is true nutrient dense fuel for the body.
“It is an antioxidant powerhouse that will really boost immunity and help with recovery and tiredness after exercise. It’s a mini multi vitamin in a bowl.
“Blend 100ml of almond milk, a banana, a handful of spinach and pour the mixture into a bowl. Top it with a few blueberries and strawberries, half a sliced kiwi fruit, a dollop of natural yoghurt and a few teaspoons of desiccated coconut.”

HUG A TREE
Yes, really, says Estelle Lefebure, author of the new Mindful Beauty, How to Look and Feel Great in Every Season (Flammarion). “In my opinion, hugging a tree is the very best way to feel at one with nature and draw upon its strength,” she says. “Find a tree that inspires you, in a garden, park or forest. Go ahead – clasp your arms around it tightly as if you were lovingly embracing someone dear to you. Press your ear against the trunk to sense its inner life.

“Tree hugging may seem odd at first, but it’s based on scientific studies. Trees are actually central to our very existence because they convert carbon dioxide into the oxygen that we need to breathe in all day every day. So, if we get it at the source, this essential force will have a genuine impact on the stress levels in our minds, as well as the oxygen levels in our tissues.”
1pm
LUNCH: SUPER SOUP
“Thermogenic herbs help speed up fat loss,” says Rick. “Add a cup of canned organic lentils and two cups of green vegetables to 400ml of water. Put some chilli, turmeric and ginger to taste and simmer slowly for around 10 minutes, then serve.”

GET MOVING
Go for a brisk half-hour walk. Or, if you’re feeling energetic, a 20-minute jog or a mixture of both. Make sure you raise your heart rate. If it’s raining, skipping indoors will do.
