Love ’em Smoothies

Good Morning Everybody

I am sure you have heard of that line “Knock two birds with one stone” !  Basically, google says, “It means to succeed in achieving two things in a single action”. Which is true! Well I am thinking, of calling   google & telling them to change the meaning, into a word answer “Smoothie”.

There is just something about smoothies, that knocks not just one bird, but the entire family down, a total wipe out! Okay, not to sound cruel to animals but you get my point!

Smoothies are not just deliciously tasty, they perfect for the ultimate breakfast, especially if you on the go. The plus side is they also packed with a whole lot of goodness, nutrients, for your mind & body to kick start the day, as well as keep you fuller for longer so you do not over eat during the day.

With a smoothie you never limited to what ingredients to blend in. From oats, to nuts, to yogurt, to low fat milk, fruits fresh or frozen, honey, vegetables, ice or even water …

Feel free to try & use any type of mixture or if you like me, try them all in one. Either way its going to give you a very healthy, energy loaded, fuller for longer & a naturally sweet drink all in 1 glass. Indeed, a bargain for the body! The best results for that lovely smooth silky texture you will have to throw it all into a blender. Fancy a smoothie?

Tip: Most people think a banana like in the picture above, means its gone off. Honestly its actually the best stage for your body to benefit from a banana(ripe bananas with the black spots).
