Amazing Energy Boost Smoothie

I recently bought the Morphy Richards easy blend. It is awesome. It blends so fast!!! So smoothly!! And at just £20 it is definitely a bargain buy (Robert Dyas - on promo)
Anywho, obviously, when you buy any new toy you have to play with it!! It came with a couple of recipes to get you started but I've just played with tastes I like and even tried fruit I previously dismissed as yucky =P

This recipe is a little high in sugars but some need that sugar and makes an excellent per workout energy boost. Even better its all fresh fruit so 100% clean. 

Ingredients:

Half a punnet raspberries
Half a punnet strawberries
Half an orange
1 medium banana
40g pomegranate (which I spent 30mins squeezing the juice out with a spoon and a sieve (cos those seeds blended taste like bone )) could just use pomegranate juice

Optional:
'1' spoonful of natural Greek yoghurt - makes it thicker and higher protein!













Add them all to the beaker, add the blending lid, place on the blending unit, release the lid, change it for a drinking lid and your ready to go. 

Easier cleaning, no pouring, great smoothies. If you like making your own smoothies, protein shakes, soft desserts or even a cheeky cocktail or two to share with friends, you'll love this blender =D

Makes refreshing drinks in summer, a drink with a small meal, a snack or add protein powder for a meal replacement.
