I had a craving for something sweet, but I don't like chocolate so I used fruit to make my craving

Bananas last in the freezer forever, and not just for banana bread: I freeze slightly overripe bananas and blend them in this fav smoothie.Tip: If you have a food processor, make a batch of minced ginger to last months by adding handfuls of the fresh root (no need to peel, promise!) with a squeeze of lemon, and store what you won’t use in a week on parchment paper in an airtight container in your freezer.

I've tried quite hard to sneak all kinds of nutrient-rich ingredients into my kids' smoothies - sometimes they buy it, other times not. This is a failsafe recipe that always goes down a treat.A few weeks back, I finally took the plunge and ordered a NutriBullet. After seeing so many tempting instagram snaps and Pinterest recipes, I couldn't resist. About the same time, the Almond Board of California got in touch with me to ask if I'd like to take their 21-day Snack Happy Challenge (http://www.almonds.co.uk/snack-happy-challenge). The stars had aligned perfectly.I've been snacking on a handful of almonds every day this month, and including them in my favourite smoothie recipes.Why almonds?• A handful of almonds (30g) provide approximately 65% of your daily requirement of vitamin E.• Almonds are a high source of fibre, are packed with healthy, unsaturated fats and are a natural source of protein.• Almonds are rich in calcium, which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.• Almonds are a high source of magnesium, which contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue.• Almonds provide linoleic acid, which contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels.• Just a handful of these noble nuts is all you need to up your daily nutrient intake. Pop them in your handbag to snack on-the-go in your moments of need.

I'm trying new smoothies to help with my weight loss. I get some recipes from Pinterest, IG and YouTube, however some I just make up as I go and not all are good but some are just delish. I'm trying to share the ones that are delish to help others who are trying to lose weight or live healthier lifestyles ;-)

I love throwing anything in my pantry into my protein smoothie, but this one is my favourite. Secret ingredient: medjool date. It’s naturally sweet and nutrient-packed, very good to refuel your body after a workout.#smoothie #protein

This is my favorite smoothie, I have changed some of my ingredients like ice , using frozen banana and avocado, and I used to use water I changed that to almond milk.My kids suck these down , and love them , you’d think they was having a milk shake lol 😂. They even know what’s in it and like helping making it ... this recipe is for one severing for a personal blender, not a big blender. Now I do split this one for 2 kids , but they are starting to ask for the whole cup . Wow 😳 right...

Yum, add more milk to get your favourite smoothie consistency!
