This week I bought a blender and it was a very good purchase!
I am a fan of fruit and veg don't get me wrong, but I sometimes find it hard to digest, put it in a smoothie however and I am all set!
This week I tried 2 different smoothies the first was a berry smoothie - raspberries, blueberries and strawberries with cranberry juice in to add more juice and 2 spoonfuls of greek yogurts.
The second was a recipe I picked up over at Fittamamma - their spinach smoothie is delicious and such an amazing green colour!
Strawberries are fantastic antioxidents and great for your skin giving you that summer glow! I have had a massive breakout this week, but now I can feel it clearing up - my mum always says it's the rubbish escaping your body!
They also stimulate the burning of stored fat, lower cardiovascular diseases and promote bone health.
Then we throw in the raspberries - another great antioxidant and also a good source of fibre, high in a range of vitamins and minerals and also low in calories and sugar!
And finally the blueberries - boosting brain health, reduce your cancer risk and improve your heart health! This is one healthy smoothie!
The greek yogurt contains some protein - making this smoothie ideal for a post workout drink.
I added in the fruit juice to make the mixture less thick - however I have been told to try the coconut water over fruit juice so I will be trying this next!
Prep is easy - just cut into small pieces and blend!
The more fruit you add the more you get from the mixture
Next up the spinach smoothie! Since Fittamamma are the creators I am going to direct you over to their website for the recipe and benefits!
Your don't have to be pregnant to enjoy this smoothie, high in vitamins, minerals and actually quite tasty, spinach is really good vegetable to be including in your diet!
It is also great for healthy hair and skin - no wonder my hair is so shiny this week!
