Smoothies are a huge part of our lifestyle, and especially important in our morning routine, with at least one of us pulling out the blender to make one every day. I’m pretty consistent with making the Mango Turmeric Smoothie at the beginning of each week, but then I usually vary it for the rest of…

Açai Coco Smoothie
Not unlike so many others, I am still in a state of extreme like when it comes to açai. I have it as often as I can – which is not often enough I must add! I love berries and this just pulls them together so well. Whilst the smoothie bowls are certainly my preferred…
Chocolate, Date & Almond Shake (Smoothie)
Every once in a while, I feel like I need something really indulgent. I love ice cream. In fact, I love anything made with ice cream. Ice cream covered in sprinkles, swirled with toppings and bits of anything, sundaes, pies and cakes. If it has ice cream then I will usually like it. Of course,…
Purple Protein Açai Bowl
When I was in New York earlier this year, I was amazed at the vast selection of healthy food shops! Dotted all over the place are fabulous juice and smoothie bars, deli’s and salad shops. I got to eat some amazing food and was particularly influenced by the types of açai bowls I could find. I…
Easy Green Smoothie
I have been on a quest to find a green smoothie which is palatable to my kids, but which also makes me feel like they are getting a few extra greens in their system. Finally, I seem to have cracked it! It has enough greens to make me feel happy, and not enough to make…
Creamy Strawberry & Kiwi Smoothie
As we hang on to the end of summer with white knuckles (okay, it is the beginning of autumn but I am still hanging on!!), I am reminded of a lovely tart which inspired this smoothie. It was a simple tart on a pate sucre base, topped with a sweet cream cheese mixture and beautifully…
Coco-Berry Smoothie & Almond Smoothie
We consume a lot of smoothies in this household. Really, a lot! Half of our freezer is filled with frozen fruit and we buy at least three bunches of bananas a week, never mind the kilograms of superfood powders, nuts, seeds and medjool dates. But then there are five of us, which makes huge amounts…
Carrot, Apple & Ginger Juice
When you start out juicing, it is really easy to be overwhelmed and not know where to start. I remember going to my first juice bar and walking away embarrassed because I didn’t know what to order and nothing seemed appealing. It wasn’t until I went with a friend who introduced me to this…
Raspberry Peach Smoothie
Raspberries are one of my favourite fruits and this smoothie captures their sweetness beautifully. I have complimented it with ripe peaches and Lucuma powder. Lucuma powder has a light nutty, caramel sweetness to it – similar to custard. It comes from a fruit which has a texture like that of a hard-boiled egg. The powder…
Chocolate Banana Smoothie
The culprit for our excessive banana consumption can easily be attributed to our smoothies. On average we have one every second day for our breakfast. I wouldn’t say I have this one for breakfast, but it doesn’t mean you couldn’t. This just happens to be the very first smoothie I ever made – many years…
The Food Obsessive
