Spinach, cocoa and berry smoothie
Hello my lovely readers! Today, I’m sharing a delicious smoothie recipe that I also featured in my spring magazine. As you may have already noticed, I’m a HUGE fan of smoothies! And why is that? It’s because I’m usually lazy to have a proper sit-down breakfast in the morning, so a smoothie is a quick way to get all the nutrition I need to start my day. Today’s smoothie is rich in antioxidants and fibre. It’s also a great way to add some leafy greens to your diet without hiding them with sugar-laden fruit juices.
Banana coco-chai smoothie
Hello hello! What plans do you have for the weekend? I’m working on the magazine this weekend (trying to finish the design), so I can start planning my photo shoots next week. Busy times ahead… So I wanted to make something quick and easy to start my day on the right foot. Here’s an anti-oxidant packed smoothie with an Indian twist. It’s got chai tea (who doesn’t love that!), cocoa powder for more anti-oxidants, chia seeds for fibre, probiotic yogurt, raw honey and my favourite ingredient – frozen bananas. Fibre…check! Fruit..check! Protein…check! And the taste…delicious!
Chocolate smoothie
It’s the beginning of a new year and as expected, most of us have of resolutions. Problem is that it’s hard to stick to those resolutions unless you make them part of your lifestyle. It’s not hard, but it does require some effort. One of my resolutions for the new year is to eat breakfast every single day. Afterall, breakfast is the MOST important meal of the day,so you have to make it count! I plan to put an end to skipping breakfast this year in an effort to lead a healthier lifestyle.Sometimes, I’m not in the mood of eating in the morning, so I skip the meal altogether and end up feeling exhausted by lunch time. Not a good idea. If you’re not a morning person, a quick smoothie is always a great way to get the nutrition you need and this chocolatey smoothie is almost as good as dessert. Imagine starting your morning with blend of chocolate, berries, bananas and coconut… And it’s also great for your skin! Read on for the recipe and also beauty details from Connie at the Beauty Nerd.
Beauty Eats- Berry-banana smoothie with goji berries
There’s nothing better than a delicious smoothie to start the day. It’s quick, easy and chock full of nutrition if you choose the right ingredients. I usually have a strawberry-banana smoothie on the days I don’t have time to really sit down and eat. Isn’t it so much easier just to drink your breakfast when you’re struggling to make it out the door in time? The problem with smoothies is that they can get a little boring after a while. So to keep things fresh and interesting, why not try some unusual ingredients?
Tropical sunshine smoothie
Good morning! After a weekend of indulgence, the best thing to have for breakfast is something light and “guilt-free”. This smoothie captures tropical sunshine in a glass and is sure to lift your spirits for the week ahead. To add a twist to the smoothie, I added a hint of ginger for some zing and mint for a refreshing flavour.
When you’re in a rush to get out the door, making a smoothie is probably the easiest way to get some nutrition in a glass. This smoothie has a serving and half of fruits and a full serving of dairy. I doubt I’d be able to have that if I actually had to sit down and eat breakfast. That’s why I don’t think I could live without my trusty Magic Bullet!
