Peach and Passion Smoothie


The good thing about smoothies is you can make it exactly how you like them. There are no 'rules'. You can change the liquid, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts or whatever you feel like!
You can easily make a smoothie that is gluten free, dairy free or vegan. Smoothies can be healthy or you can make them a special treat with ice cream. Personally I like to pack my smoothies full of fruit. 

Ingredients 




Method
Blend all ingredients up in a blender or smoothie maker

I garnished mine with chia seeds and a peach slice

Let me know what your favourite smoothie ingredients are!

Enjoy! :)

Tropical Smoothie - Pineapple, Passion fruit and Banana


So it's coming to the end of the pineapple season with this colder weather approaching. But I'm not quite ready to say goodbye just yet...!!

Pineapple is a great fruit as it is sweet and juicy which makes for a delicious snack.  Pairing it along with passion fruit, it makes a tasty smoothie which is high in vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential vitamin for our bodies and provides lots of health benefits such as, helping fight infections.




There are endless possibilities when it comes to smoothies. I love trying out new combinations and testing what works and what doesn't! I usually put banana in my smoothies to thicken it up and make it a bit more fulling. 





Recipe

Serves 1

1 banana
1/2 cup pineapple
1 passion fruit
approx 6 grapes ( I used green grapes )
1/2 cup any type of milk (I used whole organic)

Half the passion fruit and scoop out the flesh.
Blend all ingredients in a blender, food processor or any kind of smoothie maker you may have.

I garnished my smoothie with pineapple, mint leaf and with spare passion fruit flesh.

Enjoy!
