Fruit Smoothies

After missing out on the free Blend Active on a local selling site, I saw another for sale. 

I hadn't heard of it before, only similar blenders which were ridiculously hard to clean or where I wouldn't think I would use it enough to warrant the price. 

Doing my online research I found a brand new one for a similar price. This blender particularly appealed to me because the bottle was attached to the blender and it was all blended in the bottle, ready to consume, easy. 

The offer I found was for the family pack, 2x 300ml bottle and 2x 600ml bottles. I thought it was worth a whirl, considering I wanted to try and have more smoothies, something easy I could eat/drink in the mornings to keep me going throughout the day.

Here are the first two recipes I tried out and throughly enjoyed, I weaned myself in easy with fruits and flavours I enjoy - raspberries and strawberries.

Berry Banana Smoothie

8 raspberries (8cal)

A touch of water to help it blend

I can't wait to try out some more.

I may have 'accidentally' bought a lot of things to try out - chia seeds, coconut water, almond milk, lots of greens...
