Hi, all sorry for the delay in new posts, been a little hectic this end, but i have got a long list of updates to upload, so keep an eye on the page over the next few days/weeks.
As the Spring weather seems to have been more suited to summer, over here in the UK, I have dusted off my Smoothie machine, and been creating a few new drinks. Heres a few quick and easy recipes for a some smoothies, delicious and filling, and a great start to any day, or just as nice when your unwinding on your patio in the evening. Best drank with a thick straw and immediately.
CocoNapple Smoothie (pictured)
TOP TIP: to check if a pineapple is ripe, hold one of the leaves, and if it comes out easily, it'll be ripe. Also, if you give it a good sniff, you should be able to smell the sweetness.

120ml of Coconut Milk, the thick stuff from the top of the can is best.
100ml Full fat milk

1. Add the Pineapple and ice cubes to a blender or smoothie machine, blitz with the milk.
2. Pour in the coconut milk and wizz away, until smooth and creamy. Decorate with a slice of pineapple or a pineapple leaf. Drink immediately.
