Delicious Healthy Smoothie Recipes

Hi Everyone,

Today I am finally writing my first lifestyle/food post!! Recently I have been trying to improve my diet and eat much healthier. One way I thought I could do this was to make some smoothies. I was searching online for recipes but I couldn't find anything that was exactly to my taste, so I decided to just create my own smoothie. My Mum and I love fruit and smoothies so we decided that this would be a fun thing to do together, plus we both have different tastes so I thought I would share with you both of our smoothie recipes.

  • Three Berry Mix (Blackberries, Blueberries and Raspberries)
