Smoothies, shakes and juices

I've been interested in juicing/blending fruit and vegetables since watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I've been researching it ever since. I just don't want to stop eating completely!
I have a blender so I will give it a try tomorrow if there's enough in! 😀

I like to whack some spinach in my smoothies to get mroe protien, and you cant taste it at all! I usually have this for brekkie:
1 banana
handful frozen blueberries (makes it cold and has loads of antioxidants and wayy cheaper than fresh)
handful of frozen cherries (if I have them)
scoop of low fat natural yoghurt (Lancashire farm one is lush!)
big handful spinach
1/2 apple or some tinned peach slices.
and milk if its too thick

if Ive just done a work out or Im having it to replace a meal, I put a scoop or two of choco coconut protein powder which makes it taste amazing!

Momma sounds good! Hmm I'm interested in the coconut powder, I shall have a look! Yeah I buy my fruit frozen, it's way cheaper and lasts longer. I bought spinach today so ill be chucking that in too!
Discovered the other day that although I love cucumber I really don't like it in smoothies, too much of a blut taste if that makes sense.
Zara I say deffo try it! You could even have the as a dessert or a treat! I love the breakfast ones though. Think they're a fab way to start your day!

Ooooh I need to get a blender and do some! I don't eat properly and I really need to get more food in me that's actually good! Great thread

Spinach ? Does it taste.. Weird ? o_o

Spinach ? Does it taste.. Weird ? o_o

nope, not at all! it does make it go a funky colour though! haha.

Why do you put spinach in? For vegetables ? 😀

Yeah, as I said in my post, it's got protien in.

yummmmm spinach. I've chickened out of putting it on mine so far. but sam makes yummy spinach, apple, grape, ginger & mint ones. it looks like algae,  but tastes good.  I got my blender fpr £15 from asda. yay fpr cheap!

I am also trying out kale celery and cucumber in mine this week I hate cucumber so I'm hoping that if I blend it I will like it. Amy that protein powder sounds nice, where do you get it? I need to get frozen blueberries.

Let's get a recipe thread going 🙂

I've just made cucumber, celery, apple, mint, pineapple, ginger, lime and spinach. Pretty good actually, I can't taste either the cucumber or celery 🙂

I get the protien powder from myprotien.com. you can get samples for all the different flavours to try 🙂

Thanks, will have a look 🙂

I'm guna try a fruity one right now, we have loads of apples in! Gotta find where my mum put the blender now... aha 🙂

Added:
Turned out the blenders broken! aha. Only have a hand blender. I don't think it'd be effective enough! Pay day can't come quicker!

oh no! i got a really cool one from argos, it was 49.99 but you can get decent ones for like £20. i just make sure mine is out constantly, cos if i pack it away itll get dusty and never used!
