Did someone say Smoooothie?

There is nothing better on a hot day then sitting down to enjoy an ice packed cold fruit smoothie. 

 A smoothie can be variety of blends consisting of fresh fruit , yoghurt and or ice. The more fruit the better I say!

Smoothies can contain essential vitamins and minerals to keep your body going, If you not a big breakfast eater or always on the go, this is another fast tracked idea to keep you going and to kick start your day.

I tend to have smoothies of a morning and or even as a mid day snack before lunch, they are great as they keep you fuller for longer.

Below I have sourced a variety of different combinations for you up try. All you need a blender and your on your way!

Remember if you ever find a recipe that has ice cream you can use frozen yoghurt or fresh Greek yoghurt instead - that way your still getting your protein too!
