So last Friday I had a cheeky day off work which resulted in me lounging around the house making smoothies and catching up on some much needed TV. There is no denying the fact that I am a huge health freak, a HUGE one, so making smoothies is sort of my forte.. or at least it should be. Just lately I have jumped right back on that healthy bandwagon. I am eating much healthier than I have done in a while and am also working out a lot more too. As I had some leftover spinach and lots of fruit lying around the house, I thought I would make myself some extra green smoothies. Now there are lots of quick and tasty recipes across the internet but me being me, I decided to make up my own (no measurements required).
So to make this super delicious and of course healthy smoothie, you will need:
- A bowl of spinach
- A scoop of protein powder (I used a chocolate and nut one)
- A bowl of raspberries
- One banana
- A handful of strawberries
- Some ice
- A teaspoon of honey
- A blender
- Some water to liquidise (you can use milk too)
Start off with your spinach |
Add this to the blender |
Then add the ice to form a mixture |
Add your raspberries and some water (or milk) to smooth further |
Add your additional fruit - banana and strawberries in my case |
Add your protein powder |
And blend |
So there you have it, one tasty and delicious super green smoothie all made by me. This is such a simple way to use up leftover ingredients and to kick-start your healthy lifestyle. It may look a bit intimidating but honestly it doesn't taste half as bad as it looks! I really enjoy making smoothies if I am feeling run down or if I have a few spare minutes on my hand. I know a lot of people enjoy this for breakfast or as a quick and healthy snack. However you choose to enjoy yours, make it a good one.
Yum! This looks insanely delicious I think. I love spinach too so the more greens the better. You've made me want to be super healthy again now x
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to try making smoothies as so many people swear by them. I will have to ask Santa for a smoothie maker for Xmas.
