  We have two tasty drinks for you today: one a slushie and the other a smoothie. The former morphed into the latter in my kitchen, lol! First up is the smoothie recipe. As I said, this delicious strawberry blueberry smoothie was inspired by a summer berry slushie recipe I saw that looked so appealing.…

  Fruit smoothies are still very popular. They are maybe not getting quite as much publicity as a few years back, but many, many folks still enjoy them nonetheless. We frequently find that chocolate smoothies are not as popular as fruit ones – except maybe with chocaholics, like me, lol! However, if you are not…

  Blueberries and Greek yogurt are a wonderful combination in any form. So it goes without saying they make for a great smoothie. It's good to include some greens in your smoothies, especially if you are not good at eating them. The combination of greens and blueberries can give a yucky mud colored result, depending…

  It may not be a pina colada but I can imagine myself sipping this on a warm tropical beach somewhere, just a few steps from my holiday cottage; sun on my face, sand in my toes, the warm tropical water lapping at my feet, aaah, bliss … Cut! Take two! Skip the sand-in-the-toes bit,…

  This is a tasty smoothie with warm winter spices that has a fair amount of protein from the oats and the chia seeds. If you make it with almond milk beverage it is suitable for vegans. Many folks use almond milk because they are lactose intolerant. However, if this is not an issue for…

  This is a delicious smoothie made with blueberries and coconut … er, you guessed that already, didn't you? (Lol!) I'm always saying how flexible smoothies can be. With this one, I'd suggest you could use full fat coconut milk. The fat in it makes it filling. A body needs fat to absorb fat-soluble vitamins…

  The apples at the farmers' markets have been wonderful recently so, as they are plentiful and inexpensive, we have another apple smoothie for you to try. However, while this recipe may have a similar title and a slight overlap in ingredients with the previous smoothie, ie the apple and ginger, that's where the similarity…

  Share this light refreshing green smoothie and enjoy it with your breakfast. Even if you drink the whole thing yourself, it has less than 150 calories which still leaves room for something like avocado and cottage cheese or eggs and toast or porridge to fill you up! How about some coconut oil on your…

  I love apple and walnuts in a salad so thought I’d try this here smoothie. The result is delicious! You can take this smoothie to replace a meal or share it with your other half, or if you are really greedy, hide the second one in the refrigerator and don’t tell anyone, lol! The…

  This smoothie is delicious and full of complex flavors. There are some unusual ingredients, but don’t let that put you off trying it! If you are unsure of something in the recipe then add a little less. If you decide you love it, and feel adventurous next time then try a little more. Remember…

  This is a beautiful tropical flavored smoothie. A real treat. It is high in fruit so you may wish to ration yourself to a small glass and store the rest in a covered jar in the refrigerator. Add a splash of lemon juice if you are concerned about it discoloring. The recipe serves 2-4,…

  I’ve had a really busy week. I’ve been running all over the place trying to get everything done. So much so, I’m reminded of a dog chasing its tail – although it’s much funnier to watch the dog, lol! I’m resting briefly at the moment but I need loads of energy for later in…
