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 was inspired to make this refreshing drink after having a glass of mint lemonade at a local Middle Eastern restaurant. But I didn't have any lemons at home that day , just limes, apples, mint, and cucumber. So I experimented and came up with this sweet and tangy drink. The applesauce and lime (minus its peel) add to the smoothness of this beverage.

#greenveg#losingweight#chefbypassionSmoothies are low in fat, rich in nutrients and loaded with fiber. This make them the perfect weight loss food.Cucumbers and mint are abundant in the summer, so this is a perfect summer smoothie. Cucumbers are full of water, so this is a hydrating smoothie.

Really nice to wake you up in the morning. Ginger is great to help settle the stomach and matcha tea contains plenty of antioxidants.
