Peach, Banana & Mint Smoothie

I love going to the gym as gym means that when I get home it’s time for smoothies! (yes, really everything is about food).

This is the smoothie of the hour. I think it’s the mint leaves and dash of lemon which give this smoothie the edge.

Put the following in your blender.

  • A ripe banana
  • Two ripe peaches (stones removed of course!)
  • Dash of lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of yogurt
  • A couple of small mint leaves finely cut

Then add milk. For two people I add milk till the total of ingredients in the blender is 750mls.

Drink. Mmmmmm.

I’m currently not going to the gym as I broke my finger. Damn. I’ll probably make the smoothie again soon anyway though I’ll need to get Thomas to do the chopping for me.

Tuna and Cream Cheese Dip

This is a lovely and easy starter. Even Thomas who is normally the anti-tuna thinks it’s delicious. Thanks to Clarissa for the recipe.

1 x medium tin plain tuna (in spring water)
1 x pot of cream cheese (250gms)
Good bunch of fresh mint
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of half a lemon.

Loosen the cream cheese in a bowl (until smooth and easy to stir), flake the tuna into it and stir through, add the mint and stir, then salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Serve with carrot sticks.

Tip: If the cream cheese is at room temperature it makes it easier to deal with :)
