Smoothie Power

One thing I love is smoothies, as you will probably come to notice over time of me writing this blog.

Slept late today as a result of being out past my bedtime last night, missed breakfast which is something I never do so decided to have a smoothie breakfast lunch.

Ideally to make a good smoothie you need a good blender like a vita mix, although they are very pricey it is worth it. I have a Chef Tony blender which is almost identical to the vita mix just a little bit cheaper.

I make most smoothies up as I go along and hope for the best. Usually use spinach but I have run out so thought I'd tried something different today.

Here it is, my almond pear smoothie.
1 banana
2 pears
1 corgette
200ml almond milk
Spoon of chia seeds
2 handfuls of ice

Pop all ingredients in the blender until creamy smooth and enjoy :)
It should make a pint to a pint and a half, so plenty to share with your partner or drink it all yourself. Must be drunk straight away or ingredients separate.

Chia seeds are a good source of protein and give a little added nutrition to your smoothie. This ingredient is optional.
Also, use frozen fruit if you have it :)

Easy, quick and nutritious.
