Smoothie Talkin’
Now I’m not the healthiest person that ever walked the earth, but nor am I the unhealthiest, I get to the gym when I remember, maybe 3 times a week then maybe I forget or have other stuff happening and don’t go for 2 or 3 weeks. So how great is it, when you find something that’s healthy and good and easy. For those of you outside the UK I apologise, I’m not sure if you have anythig similar, but we’re lucky enough to have the Innocent Drinks Company who are purveyors of the finest smoothies ever to me produced in reasonably large volumes.
So back on track, a drinks company is probably not grounds for a blog entry on its own, but when I happened across their Guest Smoothie it was simply the best Pineapple, Blueberry and Ginger smoothie I’d ever tasted, not to mention that each little 250ml bottle counts as 5 of your 5 portions of fruit and veg per day, because it’s all real good fruit juice, no concentrate and plenty of the good pulpy stuff in there! I’m not certian how often they change their guest drinks, so in case they change the guest smoothie 5 minutes after I write this I’ll include their published recipie below.
- Half a pressed Pineapple
- Half a mashed Banana
- Half a freshly sqeezed Orange
- 80 crushed blueberries
- Some lovely ginger
And that’s it… and does it ever taste good… and to paraphrase their website…
It’s not only tasty, it’s packed with blueberries, a more powerful source of antioxidants than broccoli, spinach or garlic
There ends my preaching for the day
