We have been going to the strawberry farm a few times this year. Pretty much since the summer started. We love visiting this cute little place! Not only they sell fresh strawberries, but also the most delightful strawberry frozen yogurt I’ve ever tasted.
Needless to say, we bring fresh strawberries with us every time we go there. And the first thing we do with these beautiful red, juicy, sweet, mouth-watering berries are ‘Smoothies’, we also use them in our oatmeal, muesli, fruit salads and even savoury salads! But smoothies for me taste a thousand times better with strawberries, don’t you think so too?! There are lots of smoothies flavor combination that we make using strawberries, but our favorite is strawberry chia! No matter how tired or sleepy we are in the morning, putting the ingredients together in the blender for this smoothie recipe became almost automatic thinking. Really! Just simple ingredients, easy to remember and easy to put together. It has; strawberries, almond-coconut milk, banana, chia seeds and it also has spinach in it. But if you never tried any green vegetables in your smoothie before don’t worry because it doesn’t taste like spinach at all. If you enjoy eating green leaves you can also use kale instead of the spinach, it tastes equally delicious.
Going back to my 'Smoothie- Mania', what I like about smoothies is that it takes minutes to make. But not only that! I can use all sorts of fruits and vegetables in it, even avocado.{It gives a great creamy texture to it!} I drink my smoothie mostly in the mornings, and it always gives me the boost of energy that I need and is also very fulfilling. Specially if you are a busy mummy! You need lots of energy and lots of super foods that really nourishes your body. SO GO on have fun, make yourself a smoothie, try combining different colourful vegetables and fruits, nourish your body, be happy!
HAPPY SMOOTHIE MAKING!
