Just Beet It!





Ahh beetroots... 



The perfect vehicle for puns (they will make you feel 'up-beet'!) full of the goodies your bodies craves like folic acide, fibre, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron - what's not to love?!

There are a million and one ways to chow down on it; roasted, sauteed, steamed, raw and  even sliced into thin chips. Plus, as you have probably guessed by this stage, chopped and added to your favourite juice blend or smoothie! 

Naturally sweet yet also earthy and refreshing, just one beet in your smoothie will give you plenty of nutrients plus a super awesome colour! Get on it folks!   







Refreshing Beetroot Smoothie



1 small-med sized beetroot, roughly chopped
1 cup chopped pineapple
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
large handful of baby spinach
1 cup chilled water
handful of icecubes


Just blend everything up and enjoy! Clean and simple folks.

Green Smoothie #2015



Happy New Year!


I realise its been a while since my last post, but with Christmas, New Years, work etc I just haven't had the time!

Previously where I have uploaded anything to this blog it has been the result of many hours of cooking, setting up camera angles, trying to style the food as best as my limited abilities will allow etc etc... Not a quick process!

Thanks to the magic of technology and apps like the ever-fabulous Instagram (check out my account here!) I still snap and upload pictures of what I'm cooking up on a day to day basis with just the click of a button. So, in the interests of keeping this blog chugging along, I have decided that where I simply don't have the time to to create highly detailed, multiple angle, step-by-step style posts; I will simplify the posts so that you still have the recipe and whatever quirky observations I feel like throwing in, just with less focus on having multiple pictures. Though some may see this as me compromising on the blog's aesthetic quality, I feel like this is a worthwhile trade off if it means I am able to post more often and get more recipes out into the world for you to enjoy!

So what better time to start this little shindig than right now?!

See below for said shindiggery.



Refreshing Green Smoothie


Start your 2015 on the right foot with this super refreshing drink! If you're already on board the green smoothie train: I like you, lets be friends. If you haven't tried them yet: It's not to late! The train to deliciousness is still boarding!


Ingredients:


1/2 large banana
1/2 cup frozen mango
1 tsp chia seeds
1 cup almond milk (or other non-dairy milk or water)
1 packed cup of spinach leaves
Few ice cubes

Simply blend everything except the fruit until well processed and then add in the fruit and continue blending until totally smooth. Super easy!

(Side note: I rimmed my glass with some honey and dessicated coconut, optional but yummy!)
