1. Prepare the fruit; wash the apricots, cut them in half and then into quarters. After this is done place them into the blender of your choice;
2. add the almond milk and the golden syrup;
3. blend this fruity goodness for 3 minutes. You don't have to do it for this long, but that's because I like a smooth smoothie with no bits.

Why these ingredients?

Almond milk:

Almond milk is filled with potassium, this helps prepare and enhance: cells, tissue and organs in the human body. This is essential in everyday life, you always need to repair yourself.

Apricots are filled with vitamins A and C. Vitamins C is fantastic for the skin, it's proven to reduce wrinkles for tightening the skin, as well as making it smooth and refreshing; this is the main ingredients they put in all skincare brands. Whereas vitamin A plays a vital role in bone growth, reproduction and immune system health.

Good afternoon! I thought I would whip together another smoothie recipe, I know how much you love these recipes. They are so fun and easy to make, and also tastes delicious. 

How has your day been so far? I know that I've been hunting high and low for a pair of jeans for my new workplace :').

Any who, if you want to know how to make this delicious concoction, look below and follow the few easy steps :)

If you want another vegan smoothie, click here!

Ingredients:

• 50 grams grapes (red and green);
• 1 clementine;
• 25 grams strawberries;
• 25ml fresh orange juice, (I used innocent orange juice).

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

1. Prepare your fruit. Wash all your fruit, cut the top of the strawberries off, and peal the clementine;
2. put the fruit into the blender, I used the BlenActive Blender; 
3. add the fresh orange juice;
4. blend until your desired texture, I blended for 2 minutes and this made it super smooth;
5. ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients? 

Strawberries:

A strawberry is an excellent antioxidant, this means that they are the first call when it comes to fighting diseases in the body; they also prevent causing other damage to other cells. Strawberries also donate electrons to unstable free radicals. This means that they don't have to take electrons from innocent cells.

Clementines:
Clementines are juicy delights rich in variety of vital nutrients including minerals such ascalcium, magnesium, potassium. This is fantastic brain food, and also makes you feel awake. This is the perfect fruit in the morning, as it gives you enough energy to start the day. 

Grapes:
Grapes contain powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols, which may slow or prevent many types of cancer, including esophageal, lung and mouth. Antioxidants fight infections and improve your immune system. They are also super tasty and replace all the naughty treats. 

Thank you for reading this post, I will see you again tomorrow with another blog post. I love you all, stay tuned Little one's and have a lovely day :) x x x

Vegan Smoothie Recipe

Peach, strawberry, raspberry and orange juice smoothie:

Hello lovely people! How are yo doing today? I have another smoothie recipe for you! You really seem to enjoy them, and I love making them for you :).

If you want to know how to make this tropical concoction, look below and follow the few easy steps.

Ingredients:

• One peach;
• 10 raspberries;
• 10 strawberries;
• 300ml fresh orange juice

When making this smoothie make sure you increase the amount of ingredients if you want it to serve more people. Always make sure to place a lot of liquid in the blender so it doesn't get stuck or clumpy. 

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS:

1. Prepare all your fruit, to do this you want to cut your: peach into quarters, make sure you are safe as there is a huge pip in the middle. You also want to cut the top of the strawberries off, (you don't have to, but I do); and just wash your raspberries;
2. Place all your fruit into your blender of choice, I'm using the Breville pick&mix jug blender, if you want to see my review on this click here;
3. Pour the orange juice slowly into the blender (don't want to make a mess now);
4. pulse your fruit to begin with, (if you don't have a pulse setting, make sure you blend it slowly, press the button then stop, then press again). This is because the peach has thick skin, you want to make sure your smoothie is not bumpy;
5. put your blender on a higher setting and blend for a straight minute; 
6. Pour into a glass and ENJOY! :D 

Why these ingredients? 

Strawberries:

A strawberry is an excellent antioxidant, this means that they are the first call when it comes to fighting diseases in the body; they also prevent causing other damage to other cells. Strawberries also donate electrons to unstable free radicals. This means that they don't have to take electrons from innocent cells.

Raspberries:
Raspberries are great for the brain, for example; it decreases the delay in cognitive ability related to aging. As well as this, raspberries are enriched with potassium, this helps repair and build: organs, cells and tissue.

Peach:
Peaches are enriched with vitamin C, this is great for the skin and is used in many skincare brands, especially in anti-ageing as it helps reduce wrinkles. It also hydrates the skin, so if you have dry skin like me, you can make a peach mask to enhance your natural oils.

Thank you for reading this blog post! I would love to see you recreations on Twitter and Instagram!I hope you are having a lovely day! Stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

Hello Little ones! Hope you are well and having a good day, I have another smoothie recipe for you! I hope you enjoy it; this is the perfect start of the day meal; if you are in a rush you can drink this on the go and still feel full and energised :).

You can check out my other smoothie recipe click here!

If you want to make this yummy smoothie look at the simple steps down below :). 

Ingredients:

• 1 banana; 
• 5 strawberries; 
• 25grams oats;
• 50grams alpro almond milk

These are just the measurements I used to make a small smoothie, it filled half of the 600 ml bottle. You can double the ingredients if you want to; this is just what I wanted to do. Also a tip when blending, make sure you blend for 2-3 minutes for a smooth texture; because the oats are hard you want to make sure that they are smooth at the end. If you like bits in your drink, or don't mind textures then you don't have to do this:). 

STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS: 

1. Cut up your strawberries and banana and place them in the blender; 
2. pour the oats into the blender slowly (so that you don't make a mess);
3. slowly pour the almond milk into the blender;
4. BLEND;
5. optional step: scatter oats onto your smoothie for extra crunch;
6. ENJOY! :D

Why these ingredients? 

Banana:
Banana's are filled with potassium, this mineral helps function and repair: cells, tissue and muscle within the body. It also makes you feel more energised by sending electrolyte (an element which sends electricity around the body); along with sodium etc. 

Strawberries:

A strawberry is an excellent antioxidant, this means that they are the first call when it comes to fighting diseases in the body; they also prevent causing other damage to other cells. Strawberries also donate electrons to unstable free radicals. This means that they don't have to take electrons from innocent cells. 

Oats:

Oats have a slow release level of energy, this means that you can have these for breakfast and last a long time without food. This is handy if you are on a diet and want to loose weight; as you won't get hungry as often throughout the day.

Breville BlendActive Review

Disclaimer: I have not been paid to do this, I just simply wanted to write a positive review for the Breville BlendActive Blender; it was long overdue and I just wanted to share MY thoughts and opinions on this product :)

You can check out the smoothies I've made with this blender here and here!

Good Evening Little ones, hope your day has been wonderful and satisfying :). I thought that it was about time to review one of the most important factors of my life ... Yes I know it's a blender, but it's simply amazing! It's the Breville BlendActive Blender! If you are interested about knowing the full details about this product and my opinion; feel free to have a wonder down below :). 

This is when I made my first vegan smoothie, it blended like butter, no lumps or bumps! Which is perfect for me, as some textures make me cringe.

IT'S CONVENIENT:

• The setting up process:
  You take it out the box and all the parts are there for you, this would entail: the blender, blade and medium sized bottle.
  When making the smoothie you simply put your desired ingredients in the bottle, take the blade (it's detachable); screw it on the inside of the bottle (so it blends); and click it on the base of the blender! It's so quick and simple! Because of this when I need to make a protein backed smoothie in the morning, I can throw it all in and be done within minutes! I can't describe how much this has helped me, especially since becoming vegan, it's perfect!   
• Durable:
  The Breville BlendActive detachable bottles make it super durable! You don't have to blend your smoothie in a separate container and transfer it to your drinking bottle; it's already done for you, your bottle is your blender! You can take it to work, school, shopping etc. This makes making smoothies not a pain at all, as you only need one device; less stress and it's a time saver :).
• Breville offer different sized bottles:They offer various sized bottles, a total of two, this being the 600ml bottle, the one I have, and a 200ml bottle. The fact that they offer different sizes makes it even better. Simply because, if you have a small bag and don't have enough room you can always use the smaller bottle; or if you want to portion control, you can also use the smaller bottle; vice-versa. Breville also offer different colours on their website, ranging from: blue, red, green and pink. This widens Brevilles' target audience as they are providing more options, this making their customers happy. In my opinion I really liked the green one,as it's super vibrant and makes me happy :).

PRESENTATION:

• Breville provide a simple yet modern blender out to the market, in comparison to ninja bullet, this is far more interesting and unique. Simply because, one, Breville offers a wide range of colours, in which the ninja bullet doesn't. Two, BlendActive have a better designed lid, it's leak-proof, easy to drink from, as they provide a drinking nozzle and its easier to grip as Breville have made indentations in the bottle to emulate where your hands should go. This makes it easier to drink from, and it prevents you from dropping it if you are walking and drinking at the same time. Whereas the ninja bullet has an ordinary cup shape, and there are no indentations of where your hands go. 

PRICE:

The Breville BlendActive with 1x600ml retails for £19.97 on their website, this is the exact one that I have purchased. I feel that this is an amazing value for money, I only wanted the one 600ml bottle, as I'm the only one in my household that would use it; I bought it for me and me only. Whereas, if you were to buy the BlendActive 'family pack' this would be a total of: £34.99! This gives you: 2x600ml bottles and 2x300ml bottles! This is only £15.02 more, and you get triple of what you would get if you only brought one of them. In comparison to the ninja bullet, this retails for £69.99! This is a lot of money for a blender, especially when I think that the BlendActive performs just as well if not better! I have bought the two of them and I tried them both out, but I feel that the BlendActive is a better value for money.  

If you are considering buying one check out their website down below:

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to look at this blog post, I would highly recommend the Breville BlendActive Blender, it's amazing value for money and lasts a really long time. I have had mine for 2 years and nothing has gone wrong with it (touch wood).
Thank you again, and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x
