My 2 Favourite Smoothie Recipes!

Hello everyone!

So I am actually posting a video on my 2 favourite smoothies on my YouTube channel in a few weeks time but I thought I would do a blog post on it before it comes out (if you're interested, my video is coming out on Sunday 29th March at 8:00 GMT)! 

I love smoothies, like I'm sure most people do, but I love making them even more! With smoothies you can get away with throwing in such lovely healthy ingredients that you won't even taste but will get so many healthy benefits out of. And also, you can replace anything in my two smoothie recipes here as smoothies are just so versatile and easy.

So I made two smoothies: one strawberry and pineapple smoothie and one strawberry and pineapple green smoothie. I used the same base of strawberries and pineapple for each smoothie but the 2nd one had lots more hidden benefits in it and tasted just as lovely!

I added oats into my green smoothie as you cannot taste them at all and they keep you going for longer, if you want to have your smoothie as your breakfast, just like porridge or cereal would. They are a good source of energy and make the smoothie much more filling and meal-like.

I also added celery to my green smoothie, usually I would add spinach but we didn't have any, however it doesn't really matter what 'green ingredient' you add in your smoothie, they're all really good for you!

Here are my two current favourite smoothie recipes:

(LEFT- Strawberry and pineapple smoothie)

(RIGHT - Green strawberry and pineapple smoothie)

STRAWBERRY AND PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE:

- Between 6 and 8 strawberries, cut in half to help the blender.

- Half a pineapple, cut into chunks small enough for the blender.

- Between 100 and 150 ml of coconut water, start with 100 ml and add more as needed.

- 1 tablespoon of natural yogurt.

- Blend it all up in your smoothie maker, adding the liquids first to help the blender cut through the fruit and then pour into a glass, or mason jar as I like to use, and serve up with a straw... then... ENJOY!

GREEN STRAWBERRY AND PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE:

- Between 6 and 8 strawberries, cut in half to help the blender.

- Half a pineapple, cut into chunks small enough for the blender.

- Between 100 and 150 ml of coconut water, start with 100 ml and add more as needed.

- 1 tablespoon of natural yogurt.

- 2 or 3 celery sticks, finely diced up. Start with 2 and add another if needed.

- 1 Large handful of regular porridge oats.

- You can add some chia seeds, or flax seeds for an extra energy boost and also honey if you want to sweeten it at all. But otherwise, pour into a glass, or mason jar as I like to use, and serve up with a straw... then... ENJOY!
