After a December full of indulgence, endless turkey sandwiches and far too much wine, it's time to turn over a new leaf now that we're in 2016 (anyone else thought we'd be driving hover cars by now?) and make getting healthy a priority.

We have collected together our five favourite blogs which are guaranteed to get you yearning to be healthy, fit and refreshed this year.

Ambitious Kitchen is the perfect place to find sweet treats that taste amazing but are actually good for you (as well as a few naughty ones too).
