It's Smoothie Season!

So now that smoothie season is here (bring on the skinny jeans!), I'm going to share my favourite smoothie recipe with you!

Smoothie #1 - Friday Favourite
What you'll need:
- Milk/water (milk is in the picture, but I used water instead and eyeballed the amount)
- Chia seeds (about a tablespoon)
- Flaxseed/linseed meal (about a tablespoon)
- yoghurt,plain or flavoured (I used peach)
- Goji berries (small handful)
- a banana (chopped roughly)
- a mandarin (I used half and broke into segments)
- spinach/kale (I used a handful of frozen spinach)
- mixed berries, fresh or frozen (I used about a handful of frozen)

Here it is in my giant cup thing that the stick mixer goes into.  Keep in mind that if you use a stick mixer, you will need to mix it gently as the blades can get stuck as its not very liquid in the beginning. If you try to squash it down and its still not really doing much, add some more milk or water and that'll solve the problem.  If you use a blender then you wont have any problems at all!


And here it is all ready to drink! all 650ml of it!! To save on washing up, i just drink it straight from the cup!

Enjoy!
