The Daily Dozen

How it Works

Each day of the 12-day Daily Dozen programme is made up of two sections:

• 12 minutes of carefully designed movement with Clare.
• A short presentation with Emma and Clare showing you how to make 12 different nutritious and delicious smoothies or juices.

Daily Dozen Movement Fix

Over the course of the 12 days you will be offered 12 minutes of exercise and movement to prepare you for the day ahead. You’ll see that just 12 minutes a day can really make a difference.

Like we always say at Savvy4Life, “It only needs to be little steps to reach your goals!”

Smoothies & Juicing

As well as completing your Daily Dozen 12-minute class, why don’t you use this opportunity to kick start your health and wellbeing with a delicious smoothie or juice.

Each day you’ll find a new recipe under the Class Content section.

Emma has chosen a range of delicious smoothies and juices which can easily be made at home. She also includes the method and ingredients to help you to create a glass of healthy happiness each day for you to enjoy.

With all the health benefits in one glass, it’s the perfect way to give yourself a nourishing boost first thing in the morning.

One important thing to remember each day is that, once you have completed a class with Clare and/or taken the time to create a delicious smoothie or juice, click on the big green button. This will show you have completed the tasks and be added to your progress. Simple!

The button is situated below each activity and clicking it will help you to keep track of your progress. Don’t worry if you ever forget to click it. You can always go back and click it when you do remember.

Please check with a medical professional if you have any concerns regarding your ability to safely participate in any of the online classes

Hi ,

Over the next 12 days or so you’ll have the opportunity to create a variety of delicious and healthy smoothies and juices but have you ever wondered what the difference between them is?

Difference between juicing and blending

Both juicing and blending your fruit and veg is a brilliant way to get your daily intake of nutrients but they are not the same thing! It helps to have a small understanding of what the difference is SO:

Juicing – extracts the pulp (which contains fibre) from the fruit or veg leaving the juice only. This is a really easy way to absorb nutrients into the body and there is a more concentrated amount of vitamins and minerals in juice. It’s great for hydration too and you don’t need to add liquid.

Blending – blends everything together including the fibrous parts of the fruit and veg which is great for digestion, is filling and also full of antioxidants. You need to add liquid.

Some fruit and veg can be used in both a juicer and a blender but there are some that belong in one or the other. These include:

• Banana – is a complex carbohydrate and difficult to extract juice from so belongs in a blender and is a great base for most smoothies
• Avocado – is a complex fat and also difficult to extract juice from, also belongs in a blender
• Nut butters, powders and milks – none have juice to extract so must go in a blender
• Berries – blender
• Nuts, dates, seeds – blender
• Cucumber – work really well in a juicer

Crossovers (can work for blending and juicing):

• Spinach
• Kale
• Pineapple

Top tips: 

• A good way to remember which go in which is that the harder the fruit or veg, the more juice there is to extract from it – so hard fruit and veg belong in a juicer and softer fruit and veg are better in a blender
• Do not drink any blend faster than the amount of time it would have taken you to eat the raw ingredients in the blend
• Remember – with leafy greens, they must be compacted in order to extract the juice from them.

Hope you found this information useful. Enjoy the Daily Dozen and remember it’s the little changes that can make the biggest difference.
