Mango & Passion Fruit Smoothie


Hello,

How is everyone doing today?

This is by far the most delicious smoothie ever!! It has taken me ages to find some passion fruit. Mango on the other hand is on every counter in the supermarket but passion fruit seems to be a sight for sore eyes in every fruit market and supermarket I have walked into ...

                                                              mango

Recycling Jars For Smoothie Storage


Happy Sunday!!

How is everyone doing today? I hope you are all enjoying the long bank holiday weekend.

I get a few questions about where I get my smoothie jars from the BBM channel and on the blog.

I do not really spend money on smoothie jars from Amazon or eBay....ah well that's a bit of a fib haha!! because earlier this year I was tempted and bought these beautiful jars from a store in town called "Clas Ohlson".

I love the mason jars from Amazon & eBay and if I was ever tempted to buy them I will definitely charter them in bulk and end up spending lots of money on these fancy jars. 


Mason Jars Sold Online with Straws

Mason Jars
Instead of spending money on all these fancy jars I decided to recycle  my empty sauce jars and make the best use of them.I am big on recycling and yes I am that neighbour that selects all her bottles, cardboard boxes, plastics into the correct recycling box for collection ....I do my bit for the environment.

 I use the empty bottles from my Spaghetti bolognese sauce, pickled onions and beetroot.


Recycled Jar for Smoothies


These jars are just as nice as the mason jars and they'll vary from size to size depending on the content of the recycled jar. Also think of the good you are doing for the environment by recycling your bottles and let's not forget the pennies you can save from spending on these jars.

I hope I have encouraged you to recycle your jars  for your smoothies and save those pennies for a rainy day.



Have a wonderful day.

NutriBlast Green Smoothie On The Go For BreakFast


What is Moringa Powder?

The leaves of the Morgina Oleifera tree are dried and powdered to create Moringa Leaf Powder. This powder is classified a super food because it is one of the most nutrient-rich plants known to science.

Moringa is a more effective food source, making it easier for the body to do what it needs to do to stay healthy. That is what it gives you energy - it provides good fuel that needs less processing, and adds element that helps the body get rid of what it does not need.

Radish Detox Smoothie


Now this is a new one even for me ...

My cousin just saw my smoothie picture and said radishes in a smoothie Yems? I said why not? ha-ha!! ...it is edible and a good detox and won't kill me so I might as well give it a try.

Radishes may not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when you want to make a smoothie but I can assure you that they can be safely used in a smoothie with many other sweet or savory recipes.


Radishes

I love radishes especially in my salads and decided to make a smoothie with it.

Radishes offer many health benefits and you should consider eating them frequently.They contain Vitamin C, zine, B--complex vitamins and many others. All of these are very effective in treating skin disorders such as rashes and dry skin.
