Why not have a refreshing drink with fantastic fresh fruit? it's soo adictive and you won't want to have anything else! ...well I know that I don't. And the best thing, this is perfect for summer, parties in general and whenever really!

Berry Bonanza Smoothie

Mixed Berry Smoothie
Hey guys :) Steph again!

Lately I've been trying to find alternatives to ice cream for dessert. As a lover of plain yoghurt (the natural kind without any added sugar or flavouring) I found that having this with a bowl of fruit such as sliced banana and strawberries is sooooooo good! But for my latest post i figured why not make it into a super smoothie? I know some of you might hate skim milk, I used to as well, but once you make a conscious decision to switch to this milk after a while it's all you can have! But guys, you just can't go wrong with this fruity goodness. It's such a perfect summery drink too. Which for this hot Aussie summer I know you wisefoodies will need!

TIME: 5 minutes
CALORIES: 200

Here's what you'll need:

  • 2 cups mixed berries (I used frozen ones)
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1 cup plain yoghurt
Here's how you make it:

  1. Add all these ingredients together in a blender and blend! Voila!
Enjoy my wisefoodies :)

Super Breakfast Smoothie

Super Mango Smoothie


Hiii food frenzies, 

Who’s sick of having oats, toast or the same cereal every morning? 
Well there’s delicious fruit in this season, which you should really incorporate into your diet while you can, before they go out of season! 
Today’s weather was insaneeee! It topped over 45 degrees Celsius. In this weather, I don’t know about you, but I really wanted something light but filling and extremely cold. 

This breakfast smoothie can be modified to your desire, mangoes can be replaced by berries, almond meal can be replaced by LSA, and to keep full for longer you can also include 1 scoop of your protein.
