Saturday's Smoothie Recap

It's official!  I am the worst blogger ever!  It's been 8 days since my last post, but I just haven't been doing anything.  No exercise, bad food choices and weight gain (800 grams) - not very inspiring.

I have however, made a couple of delicious smoothies :

Simple Strawberry Smoothie

Strawberry Swamp Beast Smoothie

this glass is a little over 500 mls

The ingredients for both smoothies are exactly the same except the Swamp Beast has baby spinach leaves added.  You can not taste the spinach much, so as long as you don't mind drinking something that resembles Kermit the Frog, I say go for it.

I am really starting to enjoy my smoothies.  I love getting 2 serves of fruit and sometimes a serve of veggies as well all in one drink - not bad.  I also find them really filling and have found the days I drink them, I'm not constantly thinking about my next meal.

Simple Strawberry Smoothie

You will need :

• 1 frozen banana
• 1 serve canned Strawberries in Syrup - just the berries
• 1 - 2 tsp of  the strawberry syrup
• 250ml Coconut Water

I got the idea of using Coconut Water from Sammy and it's the best idea ever!  Thanks again Sammy :)

Method : 

1. Blend all together
2. Drink

The berries look really horrible so don't look at them if you can help it!

Strawberry Swamp Beast Smoothie

You will need : 

• 1 frozen banana
• 1 serve canned Strawberries in Syrup - just the berries
• 1 - 2 tsp of strawberry syrup
• 250ml Coconut Water
• 1 - 2 handfuls of baby spinach leaves

Method : 

1. Blend all together
2. Drink

Enjoy :)

*Flu Update*

I finally went to see a doctor, well, my husband actually kicked me out of bed and forced me to go.  I am now on antibiotics and am much better.  I am going to take a couple more rest days before starting on my new exercise regime (ha ha, regime, I sound so professional) on Monday.  My chest doesn't burn when I cough anymore so that is a really good sign.
