Summer Smoothie

Guess what? I got a blender for Christmas! Ever since Christmas I’ve had so many smoothies. So many. It’s crazy and I think I’m addicted. (This also happens to Bridget Jones in the first book. I’m not sure what that means.)

Smoothies are so quick and easy. All you really need to do is chop up some fruit, add some juice and yogurt put it all in a blender and blend.

I’ve been experimenting a lot with different combinations. Like all experiments some have worked well and some haven’t. Failure is ok because you learn a lot from failure. Ahem. For instance don’t use too much kiwifruit (I put in 3 whole kiwifruits) in such intense concentration it’s not a great flavour not matter how much you like the taste normally.

Also I tried making a Pina Colada smoothie. Sounds like it would be a great idea, but no. Now let’s never speak of it again.

Moving on to things that worked, here are some of my favourites:

Raspberry and Apple

1 cup vanilla yoghurt

1 cup apple juice
1 cup frozen raspberries

Banana Honey

1 ½ cups milk

1 large banana
1 Tblsn honey

 

Apple Berry

1 cup strawberry yoghurt

1 cup blueberries
½ cup apple juice

Just Peachy

2 small peaches

1 cup vanilla yoghurt
1 cup apple and mango juice

 

Passion Pear

1 pear
2 passionfruit
1 cup vanilla yoghurt

½ cup apple juice

 

Mmmm yum!!
