green smoothie – Add A Little

I hope everyone’s had a lovely start to 2015 – I’ve got to say mine’s getting progressively getting better! The start of the year was a bit rocky, but sometimes it’s ok to not be ok – sometimes you have to have a bad day to have a good day, but just remember it all gets better! Trust me.

Ooookk that escalated quickly! Didn’t mean to get all deep up in here!

Moving on, this technically isn’t a juice per say, but it’s a thin smoothie, so ya know, same difference!
It’s super refreshing and light and as usual, feel free to add any more fruit if you want it sweeter, I’m sure oranges would be amazing in this!

The perfect drink to have in the morning along side your breakfast or to have as a snack to hydrate yourself. You can of course make it into a more smoothie consistency by adding yoghurt, banana or milk.

Handful of mango
1/2 cup water, or apple juice
Squeeze of lemon

Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth.

Serve immediately!

GUYS.

I’m beyond excited.

It’s finally come.

My nutribullet arrived!! I’ve wanted one for so so so long and then I won one in a competition yada yada yada but it’s finally here – seems like Christmas came early!

I was slightly overwhelmed as to what to make first; vegan mac ‘n’ cheese, baba ganoush, hummus, vegan pesto, creamy tomato soup – the possibilities are endless!

In the end I settled for a green smoothie!

I’ve got to say: I’m a massive green smoothie lover, however I’m quite specific that I don’t like it to be full of fruit, I like it to be about 60:40 on the veg to fruit ratio.
