Two shakes

Watermelon shake

Take a watermelon. Remove pips. Put in blender with a tray of ice. Blend. 

OMG yum. 

One watermelon normally makes two blenders full.

Hint: How to get pips out of watermelons

Use two bowls and a sieve. Scoop out the watermelon flesh into one of the bowls, then use your hands to grab out bits of flesh. The pips will come off easily. Use the sieve to collect the watermelon water at the bottom of the bowl while avoiding the pips. 

Spinach, orange and apple shake

1 cup of fresh spinach leaves
2 oranges
1 apple, peeled
1 cup chilled water
4 cubes of ice

Spinach, apple and orange smoothie

Peel and chop the apple and orange. Put all ingredients in the blender and blend! So fresh and energizing. Spinach love!

This is a sweet green drink with a slightly tart/bitter undertone. Very nice. Beware of the green moustache! 
 
Got spinach?

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.
