Energising Smoothie

I have been experimenting a lot with smoothies and juices at the moment. Differing flavour combinations to keep things interesting!

This smoothie is a great and energy boosting drink that you can drink either for breakfast or after a good workout as it includes Matcha Green Tea powder! You need a good blender if you are going to add the few cashew nuts and if the frozen banana won't break up just leave it at room temperature for 5 minutes to defrost.

There isn't really any need to put instructions to this recipe, other than chuck everything in the machine and blend away! Serve and enjoy :-)

Superfood: Quinoa Flakes

Trying different types of superfood is so interesting. Experimenting with recipes and trying them out with new flavours is something I love to do. This is exactly what I have done today! I recently found a pack of quinoa flakes which I have not tried before. 

Knowing how quinoa in its normal form is and having used it a lot in the past I found it a bit of a pain to prepare and and cook, so when I found this I was excited- all of the nutrition with none of the effort!! 

Matcha Green Tea and Wheatgrass Smoothie

If you are looking for a superfood detoxifying smoothie to kick start your morning then look no further!

Follow this recipe for creamy fresh delicious-ness in a jar!!

Matcha green tea powder is the highest quality powdered green tea there is. Some of the benefits include, very high levels of antioxidant, raised energy levels for up to 4 hours, boosted metabolism, regulated blood sugar levels and a created state of calm with mental alertness.

In other words we need to get it in our lives!

Berry Beauty Smoothie

As a smoothie lover I love experimenting with different flavours. This is an updated version of my Banana Protein Smoothie and it really does taste as good as it looks! I call this one the beauty smoothie as it contains amazing superfoods such as berries which contain antioxidants that can improve your health, protect your skin and hair and prevent certain diseases. 

So I say its smoothie time!!!

You can have this smoothie any time- Breakfast, Pre/Post Workout or even if you just fancy something sweet!
