If you read my last post - ‘I am going on a journey’ - you will see I have been trying to be healthier, I bought the Breville blender as I thought it would be a great way to gets loads of fruit and veg into my diet so easily! Ordered it off Amazon and a few days later it arrived, I have been hooked ever since and used it everyday! Keep reading and you can see a delicious recipe...
My review of the Blend-Active blender;
The design is very aesthetically pleasing, it is lightweight and dynamic, the colour is also a lovely fresh green so will go nicely in any kitchen. It is very simple to use and everything it claims to do, it does! It has no problem blending ice and frozen fruit/yoghurt, blends in seconds and is so easy to clean! The only thing I would say is you do have to break the fruit and veg into small pieces for it to blend quickly, or if you're lazy like me you have to blend it for longer but that's such a first world problem eh! At £20.00 I couldnt be happier with the purchase.
Delicious and healthy green smoothie;
Ingredients:
- an apple
- almond milk
- a banana
- frozen blueberries
- half an avocado
- spinach
- frozen yoghurt
So I started with the fruit and frozen yoghurt (just a full fat Activia yoghurt I had in the freezer, I use full fat as your body knows how to break down real fat better than it knows how to break down the fake stuff used in "0% fat" yoghurts) and threw it all in with the almond milk. Adding the liquid first helps it all blend easily.
Blended that all together and got this:
Added the spinach and avocado and VOILA! An incredibly healthy and delicious smoothie jam packed with nutrients and vitamins. In case you were wondering, the veg flavour is not powerful at all, the yoghurt and fruit make it delicious but you get the secret power of veg without even knowing it!
Hope you enjoyed reading this and if you have any healthy smoothie recipes you love, please let me know!
