Smoothies

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know I'm a smoothie addict. I will have at least one per day - I find they are a quick way to get plenty of vitamins and nutrients in one hit. And taste amazing! 

It's all trial and error and working with the ingredients you want... 

Bases 
Milks - regular, soy, almond (my fav), rice
Acai tea (chilled)
Coconut water
Yoghurt (watch for sugar/fat content)

Flavours
ANYTHING 
Fruits - strawberries, raspberries, banana, apple, pear, blueberries watermelon, mango, melon, pineapple

Vegetables - spinach, kale, lettuce, celery, carrot, beetroot, cucumber

Other - coffee, cacao, protein/whey powders, 

Extra flavour
Agave
Dates
Stevia
Vanilla paste (not essence) 

Nutrition 
Chia
Maca
Acai
Spuralina
Nuts (raw - almonds, cashews, macadamia, 

When playing around with your own creations ask first:
Where is the flavour coming from? (some things with dominate the taste others will simply blend with no effect)? 
Will all the ingrediates mix well?
Is it good for you? (Try not to load up on cheeky stuff like protein powder and cacao and use some fruit and added supliments). 

Just some of my favourite combo's:

Cacao/banana/almond milk

Mango yoghurt ice coconut flakes 

Espresso date almond milk

Watermelon ice acai tea

Berry spinach coconut water chia (breakfast staple)

Enjoy!
