Scrumptious Smoothies!

Have you ever had a home made smoothie? Is it always delicious? Well, if it isn’t, then you do not like proper smoothies. At home, My Mum and I love making smoothies and -she- likes to try new mixes. I, however, keep my mixtures simple.

Top Tips

• I strongly recommend using a mixture of fruit and vegetables to maximise the health benefits of the smoothie.
• If you want to have bananas in your mix, try not to put in to much because the taste overpowers the more delicate fruit and veg you may be using.
• To make your smoothie more liquid, you can add water, coconut water, natural yogurt or even fresh fruit juice.
• If you use blueberries in your smoothie, it will almost always turn out the colour purple!
