Anyone who has been following this blog since the beginning I one of my main aims was to start living and eating better, and today I took a step towards that. Not many people know this but recently I have been having a few health issues, and this had made me decide to make lifestyle changes in order to become healthier. The health issues I have been having (without going into much detail) are to do with my stomach, and when I was researching what I have been told by my doctors, many people online recommend smoothies, as a great substitute, so I thought I would use this blog to share wha I make and let you guys know what I think of them.
The first smoothie I have tried is Chocolate Turmeric Smoothie. To find the link to the original recipe please click here.
The recipe I followed included:
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk (or the milk of your choice)
- 1 firm banana
- 2 tbs cacao
- 1 tbs canned coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 tsp maple syrup (optional) – even though it says optional I used it because i thought it might add some sweetness.
To this recipe I also added
- Crushed ice – Because I like things cold
- 3 Walnuts ( I love the taste and I am trying to incorporate nuts into my diet)
Method
- Whizz all the ingredients in a blender and enjoy!
Review of Method
One of the easiest things I have done!! Just throw it in a blender, and that’s it! Super, simple, and not much mess perfect if you want something to be ready In a hurry. – it made me very happy!! 🙂 one thing I will say is ensure you blend the mixture for while is you are like me and like a smooth smoothie 🙂
Review of taste!
Before I start reviewing!
One tip: get yourself a water bottle which keeps in the temperature of your drink! If you want a cold drink they are definitely worth it! and make sure it doesn’t leak, particularly if you are like me and want to take your drinks on the go. I got mine from Asda, it was £7, which I know seems pricy but I love it! Any way back to the smoothie! 
I will say I loved this smoothie! It was a mixture of sweet, which comes from the cacao power, and Mabel syrup, and the spiciness of to the turmeric and ginger. I definitely appreciated my addition of pecans, and ice, because I added a different texture to the liquid, which I enjoyed the smoothie alot more.
Let me know if you try this recipe, and let me know what you think, also if you have another smoothie recipes you think I should try I would love to hear them!
Thanks
