(That pleasing moment when your nail polish matches your smoothie.)
Here are the recipes for 3 of my favourite smoothies at the moment. I’ve never been a fan of vegetables in smoothies before as in my old blender they were something like lumpy, cold soup (sorry old faithful £5 blender). In a power blender they are completely different. A great way of getting an extra portion of raw veg in before I’ve even started the day.
Orange Tiger Smoothie (named by George)
Ingredients
- 1 Orange, peeled
- 2 Carrots, chopped
- 1 tbsp of fresh raw ginger, peeled (I store mine in the freezer and use straight from there)
- 1 Apple, chopped
- 1 cup Almond Milk
Instructions
- Blend until smooth and serve over ice.
- (I like heaps of ginger, you may like to try it with less.)

Are you a blender fan? How do you squeeze extra fruit and veg into your diet? Do you think smoothies cancel out cake?

Your pictures are gorgeous! And the smoothies sound delicious. I have the 9400 and love it but the timer buttons on the 9200 sound pretty useful.
Oh yummy bab! I could be tempted to get me one of these! Treat round yours on Wednesday yeah??? x
Isn’t the froothie wonderful? I’m able to do so much with it that I never could in my old blender and as you say, the smoothies are so, well smooth! Love the trio of bright colours you’ve made and they all sound quite delicious.
