I wanted to eat a variety of things, so I blended them all together 😉

So in trying to eat healthier and being on the go I have been playing around with smoothies. This one is by far the best I have made yet!Makes 1 16oz Smoothie*The Nutmeal Mixture is something I made for that extra goodness punch.It is:1/2cup Roasted Cashews (No salt)1/2cup Walnut halves & Pieces1/2cup Whole Natural Almonds1/2cup Steel Cut OatsBlend all ingredients (it will cake up so it takes a few tries)This makes 2 cups of the mixture and I add 1/4cup to the smoothie after all other ingredients are blended and reblend together.*Tip- Pre-portion fruit and veggie ingredients in freezer bags and store in freezer for quicker breakfasts

Blend with ice cubes if you prefer a colder smoothie.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.

Delicious!

Full of everything you need and nothing you don't! Delicious and filling meal replacement to curb appetite and aid weight-loss.

Smoothies are one of the most nutritious afternoon snack, my whole family enjoys them, especially in Summer by the pool!!

Wanted a smoothie that taste good but was low fat and fills me up. The oatmeal adds fiber to keep you full longer.

Who doesn't love smoothies?! The avocolada smoothie at Tropical Smoothie Cafe is my absolute FAVORITE. I've tried other flavors, but can't seem to love this one any less! However, as much as I love it with my whole heart, it's expensive! So I had the idea to try and create my own version of this smoothie that is both easy to make and inexpensive. After tons of trial and error, I give you... the avocolada!
