Getting fruity!

[ninjananna]

Hello one and all...hope your feeling well!

I know a lot of us on here have changed our diets and cut things out that aren't good for us and I just wanted to share a little bit of news about my new addition....... It's a smoothie blender!... I'd been meaning to get one for months and when my Husband saw the one I wanted on sale, he bought it for me!! (Lovely man)

Well, today was the first day of my, smoothie+determination=getting rid of the last 16lbs I need to lose to hit my target!!...

Some of the recipes look and sound pretty bizzare but I thought I'd try this one for my lunch time shake......honeydew melon and spinach!!

You can choose any liquid, skimmed/almond/coconut milk and then add your fruits/veg! I chose almond milk for mine and was expecting to gag at the first mouthful, as I hate spinach!!! but all I could really taste was the melon! Itwas bbeautiful!

I had banana/strawberries and blueberries for my breakfast shake! That was yummy too! and a little advice I picked up from my Son was, if the fruits are starting to turn, put them in the freezer!!....you can put them straight into the blender I got and you can also put ice cubes in!

Now.....all the veg and fruit I cannot stand can be blitzed and I'll be getting the benefits!

Much love to you all....Ninja...♥♥♥♥♥♥

Brilliant news about the OH! I've also lost 3stone but that was just lack of appetite!

It wasn't weight I didn't need to lose and I feel and look so much better for it!....♥♥♥

So glad your diet is going well. I love melon and spinach so that blend would be heaven for me. I often used to make us banana smoothies with masses of ice in the summer but I was a naughty girl and used to add icecream which is certainly not what you are aiming at.

The only disadvantage as Ayrmretep says is the washing up afterwards. My blender is a very old one that I inherited from my mother who had it as a wedding present! I find it great for when I am well enough to make some homemade soup especially potato and leek which is a favourite of mine.

Just had my tea but hungry again typing all this about food.x

That sounds wonderful. I wouldn't mind one of these myself. I would just have to be careful about red fruits as I am allergic to them. I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I know Ken! and it is wonderful... you can blend literally any fruit and veg! There's another one of cucumber yogurt and mint! I thought that was an Indian dip you got with the papodoms!!....hahaha... but I'm going to experiment with the ones that have the anti toxins to cleanse and the spinach ones for the iron!!....♥♥♥

I think I should have put "anti oxidants?" to cleanse the bad toxins?? I'm sure you'll know what I mean!!! It's my second night without sleep and we all know what the brain gets like.... ♥♥
