I feel like in this fast paced society we live in we are expected to be at school, university and work too early in the morning. By the time you've got up and got yourself looking as presentable as possible you have no time to eat breakfast and so you go without. I don't think I've eaten breakfast consistently since I was 10 and my mum would sit me down with cereal and orange juice. So I have come up with a plan. A plan to have what has been dubbed as the most important meal of the day and to have some fruit and veg. Smoothies, they are so quick and simple and filling, so I have conformed and bought myself a very hipster looking mason jar to drink them on the go and am attempting a different smoothie each day. I'll but down the ones I have tried so far but be ready for more.
Banana Berry Smoothie
2 bananas
1 handful of frozen blueberries
1 handful of frozen raspberries
1 handful of frozen blackberries
a few mango chunks
Put all this in a blender or a jug or whatever
Then fill 1/3 up with pineapple juice and the rest with water so that the liquid ends with the fruit.
Blend and there you go done. Takes about 5 minutes.
