Since Christmas, when my Mum got a blender as a present. I have had a smoothie pretty much everyday. Truthfully, I have started having them every other day just to lay off, don’t want to turn too healthy do I?
Anyways, I thought I’d share with you the couple of different smoothies I do make. And I thought maybe one of you could tell me some of your favourite recipes for smoothies so I get a bit of inspiration.
…
Strawberry & Banana
I’m the type of person who doesn’t really pay much attention to measurements so I just throw it all in and hope for the best.
So roughly I use:
- Around 250 ml of semi skimmed milk or a bit less.
- 1 or 2 Bananas depending on whether my Mum bought the fun size ones (I’ll use two then) or just the regular ones.
- A few strawberries.
- A couple ice cubes.
I love this smoothie and its probably my favourite out of the ones I make. You know, all three of them…
Side note: I love the mug I use for the Smoothies, I got it off my best friend at Christmas and it came in a hot chocolate set. But you know I’m just living that healthy lifestyle at the minute so I guess I’ll just carry on using it for smoothies.
Blueberry & Banana
Ooo the first time I tried a blueberry I did not think they were going to be as sour as they were. But they taste 10x better in a smoothie. I use pretty much the same measurements as the strawberry & banana apart from the obvious; I put blueberries in.
Banana Smoothie
I do like a good old plain banana smoothie. I haven’t taken any pictures for this one because I haven’t actually had one in a little while. But I still enjoy this when I’m in a rush.
Hope you enjoyed this blog post. I literally made this short post so maybe one of you guys could give me inspiration as to what other smoothies I could try. Should I stop putting banana in everything? Should I be replacing the milk with natural yoghurt? I really haven’t got a clue. But maybe this post gave you just a slither of inspiration. See you soon.
Love, Sophie

I LOVE smoothies! This was great to read and I love your amazing photos and your sense of humor! I like really thick smoothie bowls, so I always add a bunch of frozen fruit, 1/2 – 1 frozen banana and greek yogurt to make it thick, orange juice for flavor, and a tiny bit of vanilla! Hope that helps and thanks for sharing! xoxo

I love a good smoothie (I really wish I’d brought my smoothie maker to uni with me! Maybe I’ll bring it back with me next time I go home).
I tend to use frozen fruit for smoothies (frozen mixed berries and mango – cheaper and last much longer), I almost always put a banana in as well as milk. If I want it a bit thicker I go for more natural yoghurt and just use to milk to make sure it actually mixes (my smoothie maker is a Breville Blend Active and if you put too much frozen fruit in and not enough liquid it struggles a bit!). I know orange/apple juice can be a good addition (instead of milk) but I rarely ever have juice when I’m at uni! I don’t know what they’re like but I know quite a few shops now sell like frozen ready mixes for smoothies, I’ll have to try some one day.

Thank you so much I’ll definitely have to start freezing the fruit. It did occur to me to do it before but I just seem to forget about it.
