Mango Kale Smoothie

Hello Smoothie Lovers,

I'm back once again with some lovely smoothies for you to try.

I can honestly say it was only a few weeks ago I said " Happy July" and in the twinkling of an eye August is here.

Smoothies are great but it is always nice to have it all in moderation so I had a nice break away from the smoothies and now I am back with the green smoothie attack ha-ha!!

Banana and Raspberry Smoothie

Happy Friday Smoothie Lovers,

Yay!! It's Friday!!

I hope everyone had a lovely day and you're all looking forward to the weekend.

I have a very simple recipe for you today.

Ingredients

• frozen banana
• raspberries 
• unsweetened almond milk
• alternative fruits to achieve the pink colour: Strawberries, Blueberries or Blackberries

Some of my readers have asked me to list alternative fruits as they might not have the fruits I use in their countries. If you do not have raspberries, you can use strawberries, blackberries and blueberries to achieve the below rich pink texture.

Remember to blend your fruits separately.

Whoop Whopp Summer Is Here....

On Sunday the 18th of May we had a  "heat wave".  It was baking hot, it was so hot that you could fry an egg under the sun ha ha!!

Summer has become a very rare occurrence for us in the United Kingdom. Let's just say we don't get a right proportion of the four seasons and one of our seasons called winter seems to take over all year long but the sun came out and my oh my were we glad to see the sun.

For many of us that's an excuse to have a barbecue, go the beach or sit in the garden which was the case for me.

After church I dashed home, stripped to my summer gear and sat in the garden with my lunch, infused water, some Afro beats and of course a smoothie. What is summer without a smoothie?

Blackberries and Strawberries

Here's hoping for more great weather this weekend!!
