Festivities in the Hinterland

We spent the afternoon with Goji & The Bees and The Grassy Bowl at the most beautiful setting in the Byron Hinterland for some Festive Fun. The girls treated us to two delicious salads to share with you to recreate yourself this Christmas. You will find these special recipes below. Tash and Liv are both constantly inspired to live a healthy lifestyle which shows in their day to day life. Liv is behind The Grassy Bowl Kombucha Kombi and is usually parked up at Byron beaches in the mornings serving delicious smoothie bowls and kombucha. Tash is behind Goji and the Bees and is always using the freshest ingredients to treat her friends and family to delicious spreads to enjoy poolside at their beautiful Hinterland property.

Naturally with this kind of thing being so second nature to the girls, the shoot was purely a reflection of two good friends, making good food and having a good time, in our favourite Arnhem Summer Styles . We’ll let the photos do the talking…
