Healthy Snacks

Banana & Peanut Butter Milkshake With Banana And Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

Disclaimer- iv decided to post a few  recipes every now and again which I have tried, I am in no way shape or form a top class chef or a baker, what I am making is just some fun recipes that I wanted to try, so they won't be perfect, be presented perfect and some might go wrong! I am just trying to make food that is easy, simple, can be made on a budget and can also be made using things from around the house!

The first thing I made was a banana and peanut butter smoothie! You will realise that I make a lot of things with banana in because I have a huge amount of bananas that I need to use.

Ingredients:
1 banana
1 tbsp. of peanut butter
100ml of almond milk (you can use any milk, I used almond as I am intolerant to cows milk)

Instructions:
First I split the banana into chunks and put that in to a jug and add a tbsp of peanut butter, blend that first and make it as smooth as you can and then add 100ml of milk.

Because this recipe is so simple you can add or deduct the amount of ingredients if you want.
 
 
Strawberry And Banana Frozen Yogurt:


Ingredients:
2 bananas
1 cup of chopped strawberries
1/2 cup of yogurt
Instructions:
first I chopped up the bananas and strawberries in to smaller chunks then put them in to a bowl and blended together, I didn't blend until it was smoothie because I want to keep the texture.
next I add the yogurt and mixed it in with spoon, then put it into a tub and then put it in the freezer.
This recipe is also very simple to make and you can also change the ingredients if you want. I want to make fairly simple recipes this week which can be made on a budget, because i'm a college so I know budgeting can be hard, also I want to make simple foods for any parents who want easy snacks to through together for there children or simple foods to make with the kids.
I hope you enjoy the recipes.

Smoothie Saturday!!!

Okay be for I start I just want to say sorry to all my readers! I know that my posts have been few and far between, because I have had some problems in my personal life which left me in a non writing mood. I wrote a few posts in a notebook which I was going to but one is a haul which is a few weeks old so I don't know if I will post it, but if you guys want to see it then just ask!

Although I have been writing up posts lately I have had plenty of ideas which I have put into a list ready for when i'm feeling up to it and my writers block has left on his holidays! And one idea iv had is Smoothie Saturday, lately I have been trying to live by a healthier lifestyle and making smoothie's is something I enjoy doing so I thought I would post the recipes for the smoothie's I have made.

 Pineapple and Kiwi

1 banana
2 kiwi
1/2 a cup of frozen pineapple
1 handful of spinach
100ml of pineapple juice


To make:
First I blended the spinach and pineapple juice,
the added the banana and kiwi which I had to cut into chunks
then I the frozen pineapple, and lastly I added two raspberries on top!

I know that making smoothie's isn't rocket science but I have a handheld blender which isn't very good at blending all fruit and veg or frozen things so I had to cut everything in chunks first and add the frozen pineapple because I had to wait for them to slightly defrost first.

I'm looking around at the moment for some nice glasses or jars which I can put the smoothie's in to make these posts look a little prettier than the rubbish pictures you will be getting for the next few weeks, so sorry about that guys!


I know that this has been a rambling post but I wanted to update you guys and put up a quick post, thanks for reading.
