Looking for a refreshing, nutrient-packed meal that’s perfect for warm weather? A summer smoothie bowl is a delicious way to stay cool and nourished.

Here’s a simple base to get you started:
Blend together:
1 frozen banana
½ cup frozen berries
½ cup low-fat yoghurt or a dairy-free alternative
A splash of milk or water to reach your desired consistency
Top with:
Sliced kiwi, mango or strawberries
Rolled oats or granola
Chia seeds or crushed nuts for texture and healthy fats

Smoothie bowls are a great way to boost hydration, fibre, and energy, plus they’re easy to modify for different dietary needs.

Want help tailoring meals to your health goals? Our dietitians at My NutriHealth Tasmania are here to support you.

As temperatures rise, it's important to take simple steps to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your pets. Here's how:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water—even if you don’t feel thirsty. Water is best. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.

Keep Out of the Heat: Stay indoors with fans or air-conditioning. Keep curtains or blinds closed during the day. If there’s a cool breeze, open windows safely. Rest often—heat can be exhausting.

Check on Others: Reach out to older relatives, neighbours, and friends with chronic health conditions to make sure they’re coping.

Dress for the Weather: Wear lightweight, light-coloured clothing to help reflect heat and stay comfortable.

Minimise Sun Exposure: Avoid going out during the hottest part of the day. If you must go outside, wear a hat, sunglasses, protective clothing and apply SPF30+ sunscreen.

Cool Your Home: Close blinds and curtains during the day. Use fans or air-conditioners set to cool. Open windows and doors when safe to let in cooler air.

Food Safety Matters: Hot weather increases the risk of food poisoning. Keep food refrigerated and avoid leaving it out too long.

Care for Your Pets: Make sure pets have shade and plenty of cool water. Avoid walking dogs during peak heat.

Seek Medical Help if Needed: Heat-related illness can be serious. In an emergency, call 000.

When you start speech therapy, it’s natural to wonder: “Am I really improving?” That’s where measuring progress can make all the difference.

At My Speech Pathology Tasmania, we use evidence-based tools to track your communication skills over time. This isn’t just about numbers - it’s about making sure every session is working for you. Here’s why it matters:
Personalised Therapy: Progress data helps us tailor your sessions to your unique needs.
Clear Goals: You’ll see exactly how far you’ve come and what’s next.
Motivation: Every milestone is proof that your hard work is paying off.
Better Outcomes: Adjusting therapy based on real results can mean faster, more effective improvement.

Measuring progress turns therapy into a roadmap - so you know where you’re headed and how close you are to your goals.
