I love a good smoothie. None of that pre-packaged, sugar loaded gloop but home made, healthy, vitamin rich smoothies.
Over the past few months I have become a bit of a smoothie nut and I've been experimenting with different flavours and ingredients. Finally, after many, many taste tests I've come up with a few staple smoothie recipes. I have one for when I need to feel refreshed, one for post-exercise recovery and one for a hit of energy when I've got a busy day ahead. Give them a go and let me know what you think.
Method: To create these smoothies, simply add all ingredients to a blender and whiz up till smooth, before pouring into a glass to enjoy.
The Energiser - great for breakfast or any time you need a bit more fuel in your tank.
- 2 tbsp of oats
- 2 tbsp of organic peanut butter
- 1 banana
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of ice
The Refresher - helps blow the cobwebs away if you're feeling a bit run down. The ample amount of vitamin C is great for hangover sufferers while the yoghurt settles tricky tummies.
- 1 cup of frozen strawberries
- 1 cup of orange juice
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of natural yoghurt
- Small squeeze of lemon juice
The Healer - works to aid recovery post exercise, giving muscles a protein shot to help them strengthen.
- 1 cup of frozen raspberries
- 1 tbsp ground almonds or almond butter
- 1 scoop chocolate flavoured whey powder
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vanilla yoghurt
- 2 tsp honey
- 1tbsp good oil or coconut oil
