I've recently got into the flow of making smoothies and i keep thinking 'Why didn't I do this earlier?!' They taste so good and they are good for you (unlike many other yummy temptations), plus they really don't take long to make at all. Once you get into a system of rinsing the blender straight after and getting to grips with some recipes it's pretty addictive. I keep looking at bananas with disappointment when they are on there own now because they have so much more to give (haha).
Amazon sell some really cheap blenders here if you don't want to splash out on a really expensive one or like me just use your parents (it's so retro it's probably vintage). These are some recipes I am loving at the mo, they are delicious and easy to do:
Banana & Date
3 1/2 dates (pitted)
1 banana
1/2 cup of almond milk (this makes a small smoothie)
Banana & Blueberry
1 banana
1 cup of blueberries (frozen - if you have a Morrisons near you they do some for £2 that are huge!)
1 cup of almond milk
Green Monster
1 banana
2 large hand fulls of spinach
1 cup of almond milk
1 tbsp of ground flax seed
3 ice cubes
Couple of tips...don't drink the blueberry one before you go out without brushing your teeth as the blueberry does like to sit in your teeth (hot stuff). Frozen fruit is the way forward as you have it in stock and it means your smoothie is nice and chilled without having to add ice cubes all the time.
If you haven't been onto yummly for food heaven and general yummyness then you so should, now.
Have you guys been a smooth(ie) operator too? Any recipes you love?
Photos are from weheartit - I wish I had an Apple Mac (I actually have a laptop that keeps melting the battery pack), but if I did I wouldn't rest my smoothie on it - living life on the edge!
