Yaaaayyy for Fridays! I hope your week has gone well! I’ve been busy planning and creating new content for the blog. If you follow me on Facebook, you might have seen me mention something about a newsletter, or maybe you didn’t because I never know who of you, if any Facebook shows my posts to! Anyway, the newsletter is one of the things I’m in the process of creating, this will be sent out on a weekly basis (haven’t decided what day yet) and will cover my posts for the week plus some extra bits and pieces. I can’t wait to have it all ready to share with you! [Read more…]

Just wanted to share this quick smoothie recipe with you. It was something I just threw together and well it turned out YUM so here it is….

Carrot Smoothie

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk.
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced.
  • 1/2 frozen banana.
  • 1 tbsp almond butter.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon.
  • Pinch of nutmeg.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  • 1/4 tsp coconut butter or you could use coconut oil.
  • Raw honey/maple syrup for sweetening.
  • Toasted coconut flakes (for garnish).
Method:

Place all ingredients except for the toasted coconut flakes into a high-powered blender like a Vitamix and blend! If you’re using a regular blender then grate the carrot before adding it in. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top if you like.

Enjoy!

I just made this smoothie – Actually I’m drinking it while typing this post.

It’s been a while since I made a Green Smoothie, notice how I left the green part out of the title (aka the spinach). I didn’t want to scare you away with the word spinach, although you can’t taste it at all, it just gives the smoothie its pretty green colour. 🙂

Ingredients:
  • Handful of banana (I used frozen banana pieces that I had in the freezer).
  • Handful of spinach (you can use frozen or fresh).
  • 1.5 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice).
  • 5 dates (I used medjool – make sure you pit).
  • 1 tsp cinnamon.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds.
Method:

Place all ingredients into a high powered blender, starting off with the milk and blend!

There’s something about green smoothies – They really give you a big hit of energy just when you need it!
