On behalf of all of us at The Raw Honey Shop, Ramadan Mubarak!

To all our Muslim customers, we really hope you have a wonderful Ramadan! We can’t imagine fasting such long hours and think it’s an incredibly brave and inspiring thing to do!

A good friend of the Raw Honey Shop, Arfa Saira, emailed us with one of the recipes she uses to keep her energy levels, stamina and hydration up during Ramadan – and suggested we share it. (And she’s going to share a few more recipes over the next few weeks.)

And here is Arfa Saira with her advice and recipe:

“Fasting during the summer months means you have to be careful about flagging energy levels and dehydration – which is why during non-fasting hours, you should aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water if possible.

Your Suhoor or early morning meal should also set you up for the day and give you the nutrients you need to prevent hunger and low energy. Here’s a nutrient rich and absolutely delicious recipe to sustain you through the day.

It’s a filling and healthy smoothie which is packed full of protein, good fats and slow-release carbs to help you stay fuller for longer. Plus, the best thing about this recipe is that it takes 2 minutes to make in a blender.

Ingredients (serves 1):

1 glass of milk (preferably almond or coconut milk)

Simply put all the ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth. Pour over ice in a tall glass and enjoy!

Here’s what the ingredients can do for you

· Cinnamon can help to balance your blood sugar levels and prevents you from the dreaded energy slump you would otherwise get after eating a big meal.

· Raw honey such as Mountain honey is a good replacement for processed sugar. Not only is it packed with enzymes and minerals, but its unique composition doesn’t spike your blood sugar levels in the same way as processed sugar – meaning you get sustained energy throughout the day. Plus, the Mountain is a honey that is has one of the highest antioxidant levels - an added benefit”

Thanks Arfa Saira for sharing your recipe.

Arfa Saira has offered to share a few more recipes for nutrient rich smoothies over the next few weeks – so look out for these. We're be posting them here.

Oh and if you want any raw Mountain honey then you can find it here.
