Ever since receiving a blender on Monday morning I have become addicted with making smoothies. I have even been making more than three a day. They are just so easy and so so yummy that its impossible to resist. They are also pretty filling which is perfect for me because if I am the slightest bit hungry I tend to eat way too many of those cookies I mentioned yesterday.
I haven't really been following any sort of recipe for my smoothies, I have just kind of chucked a few different fruits in which has worked perfectly well. This one here is a strawberry & banana and it was the first one I made. It included; 5 strawberries, 1 banana, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of natural yoghurt, 1tbsp honey, 2tbsp rolled oats and 3 ice cubes and serves two.

I have also done combinations with strawberries, bananas, blackberries and blueberries which also makes for an incredibly yummy smoothie. I used everything from above but just added in blackberries and blueberries and viola! Ive also been making thinner, more refreshing smoothies including pineapples and apples where I have just substituted the milk for water and adding no yoghurt. That is the perfect mid-afternoon smoothie.
You can pretty much just add anything to a blender and you will get a beautifully tasting smoothie.

I'm so into fat free yogurt right now, especially with a little granola on top. It's my new obsession. And your smoothie sounds DELICIOUS. I worked at a smoothie shop in high school and still love making them.

this is great! I too have fallen in love with my blender and am trying to figure out the best recipes... today, I used one banana, a cup of frozen blueberries, and some delicious trader joes orange juice. Oh man, best smoothie ever! :)
Smoothies are definitely yummy! Have you ever tried a Green Monster smoothie? It's made with spinach - sounds gross but you really can't even taste the spinach and their good for you! Win, win!
fresh fruit is the best! so delicious and STILL healthy! love it & your blog.
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM i am having smoothie for breakfast now for sure.

Milk
Ice

couple of spoons of milo
passionfruit yoghurt
and a tablespoon of honey
sounds fricking random butso good

Umm, yum! I have smoothies as part 1 of my breakfast (I need a part 2 otherwise I cant make it to lunchtime!). My favourite is definitely mango. Shame it's such a seasonal fruit.
Thanks for your comment btw. Looking through your posts and your Hyde Park photos really remind me how much I loved being in London this time of year.

I am a total smoothie addict too! I start everyday with a spinach, banana, almond milk, and agave smoothie. It's a good way to get extra greens.

When we got a blender we used to make smoothies all of the time. I am really craving one now that I saw your post!
Try adding some spinach! You can't even taste it, and it's full of good stuff!
Oh yeah that looks really yum. I love cinnamon in mine as it's tastes so nice! Or sometimes add carrot and ginger but not if it's got bananas in. :-)
I've got to get my blender out. I usually toss in a spoonful of peanut butter if I'm wanting extra protein, or a tiny bit of vanilla to the the banana smoothies. To the orange-y ones, I add a couple of shakes of ginger.
Yes, when I get on a smoothie kick-I'm like you-I'll have the blender whirring 2-3 times a day.
:)
i am so addicted to smoothies .
next time , add a tbsp of peanut butter to your smoothie , it's delicious . promise .
Yummm I'm smoothie obsessed too. I love strange combos, lately I've been adding spirulina to them- definitely recommended if you're not put off by your smoothie being bright green! haha

Ahhh, this looks delicious!! I would make a smoothie, but I don't want to offend my froyo. Haha. I have been eating froyo every single night...sometimes twice a day, too! At least we are being healthy!
