Hi Everyone,
so today I wanted to talk about smoothies! I don't know about you but I absolutely love them! Especially in the summer, I just think there's nothing better then making one as a breakfast or small afternoon snack knowing that its full of goodness, filling and healthy. For me, having two kids its also nice knowing i can make them something that's tasty, filling and really healthy for them!
Smoothies are also an easy and great way to change up your diet plan to be a bit healthier without much added effort - in fact the hardest thing about smoothies is cleaning the blender after!!
So today I'm sharing two of my favourite go to recipes that i just love and hope that you will too!!
Mango & Banana Smoothie
serves 2
Ingredients;
1 mango (fresh or frozen)
1 banana
3tbsp non fat natural yoghurt or Greek yoghurt
300ml milk
ice (optional)
method;
place all your ingredients into your blender and blend until everything is thoroughly mixed and you have a dessert like consistency. If your using frozen mango then there is no need to add ice.
This is probably my favourite recipe at the moment, i love how thick and creamy like this smoothie is. As i blog more you will come to see that i love desserts and this for me is a healthy way of feeling like ive had something a little bit naughty
Kale & Banana Smoothie
Serves 1
Ingredients;
1 orange (peeled and sliced)
1/2 cup water or coconut water
1 kale leaf shredded
2 bananas (chopped)
ice (optional)
method;
add your sliced orange to the blender and blend until its juice. Add the water and shredded kale leaf and blend until there are no bits of kale leaf left finally add your chopped bananas and blend until the mixture becomes thick and dessert like. If you want your smoothie chilled add ice with your banana OR pre chop and pre freeze your banana and use that instead!
So this smoothie when its done is a very bright green colour but don't let that put you off! I promise it tastes sooo good!! Alot of people are actually scared with this one that you will really taste the kale but the banana hides it! This recipe is actually a great way to incorporate kale into your diet even if your not keen on the taste!
So i hope you try these recipes and enjoy them as much as me! Please feel free to leave me a message if you tried them i would love to know what you think! Do you like smoothies!? Tell me your favourite recipes i would love to try them!!
