So for todays smoothie I thought I would try something bit different. When I was looking online for inspiration for smoothie recipes, I discovered a chart which is a kind of mix and match, but for making smoothies (I think it is my new favourite thing). So from this list I decided to make my first ever smoothie I have designed myself 🙂 If you want to check out the mix and match list check it out here!
SO from this list I have created a drink which I am calling Strawberry, Raspberry and Peanut Butter Smoothie Extravaganza!
Ingredients
- 5 Frozen Raspberries
- 5 Medium Frozen Strawberries
- 1 1/2 Table Spoons of Peanut Butter
- 1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
- 1 Teaspoon of Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Cup of Canned Coconut Milk ( I had to add in some almond milk in order to create a smoother constancy
Method
- Place ingredients into a blender (part from the almond milk), and wizz
- Add almond milk when needed.
Method Review
As normal with smoothie recipes, this method is super simple, and easy to clean up! What I will say is be careful when adding almond milk because you don’t want to add to much and make it to runny! It comes out. a bright pink colour which made me very happy, because it is my favourite colour! ( I put it in a Santa glass, because it made me very happy!) When I was finished making it I added two raspberries on time, and a pecan, just because!
Taste Review
Ok so I liked this smoothie, however I did have to add a little maple syrup in order to add a little sweetness. It tasted very similar to melted ice cream, and it made me very happy! I also left me feeling full, and ready to take on the rest on the day, how to go along with this smoothie I also had a small bowl of macadamia nuts, and pecans, as an extra source of protein.
Again please let me know if I have any recommendations for smoothies/drinks/meals I could try.
Thanks
