Berry & Almond Butter smoothie

Here's another of my favourite smoothie recipes! 

I haven't posted any new recipes for a little while - but this is my current favourite for breakfast time. This one is better as soon as you've made it, as it does go a little thick if you don't drink it straight away. 

Ingredients (based on nutribullet cup - if using another blender, use the drinking glass as a measure) 

1/2 cup spinach

1 banana 

handful of frozen berries (mine are black forest) 

Desert spoon of chia seeds

Tablespoon of oats

Desert spoon of almond butter

Coconut milk 

& just blend together! 

Smoothies are so easy to make, and I usually have mine for breakfast as it's super quick and I can take it with me if I'm in a rush. It's also a great way to get loads of nutrients quickly, and keeps you full until lunch time (honestly!) 

Hope you enjoy the recipe if you decide to make it yourself! 

Everyday Breakfast Smoothie

I've been enjoying healthy eating recently, and I thought I'd share my favourite breakfast smoothie recipe. This is one I came up with myself, and I promise it tastes good (despite the weird brown colour!) I use the nutribullet and the small cup that comes with it, but any blender that's similar will work. 

Here's the recipe: 

1/2 cup spinach 

1 banana 

a handful of frozen berries (I'm currently using raspberries) 

A tablespoon of oats 

A spoonful of linseed ( I usually just tip a bit in) 

A tablespoon of chia seeds 

1 measure of teapigs Matcha powder 

Coconut milk to the max line 

Then I just screw on the blade, and blend! 

I usually have this on mornings when I'm going to work, as it keeps me full, and if I'm in a rush, I can attach a lid and take it with me! 

Let me know if you try this! x 

Healthy Eating Update.

Apologies that today's post is a little late! The last week has been pretty hectic and I'm currently suffering from a bad toothache. I thought I'd update you on my little health kick today. I've been trying to eat healthier and doing yoga for 25 days now, and I feel so much better for it. I haven't cut out any foods completely, I've just been trying to eat mainly healthy foods (about 80-90% healthy) with just a few treats here and there. 

I've replaced a lot of my 'unhealthy' snacks with smoothies, fruit and healthy snacks made with nutritious ingredients. The nutribullet has been amazing as it's so quick and easy to use. I usually have 2 smoothies a day - 1 mid morning and 1 after yoga in the evening. I vary the ingredients all the time, sometimes I follow a recipe and sometimes I make up my own. I always try to include 50% greens - spinach is my favourite as you can't taste it at all, but kale also works well too. I then fill the rest of the smoothie cup with a combination of fruits, seeds, nuts, cacao powder, linseed, matcha powder, almond butter, and either water, almond milk or coconut milk. One everything is in the cup I just screw on the blade, and blend! 

I take my morning smoothie to work with me, and to make it quicker in the morning, I make it up the night before, pop it in the fridge and just blend it in the morning! Frozen berries are great to add to smoothies as they make a very cold refreshing drink! 

Healthy eating has also meant my weight loss has sped up a bit, as I'm eating much more 'good foods' than I was! 

I've filmed a smoothie recipe video which will be up on my channel on Thursday, and also on Tuesday I'll be reviewing the Deliciously Ella cookbook! 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! x
