Vanilla Smoothie Receipe

It's late at night and I'm craving something to sweet.  I'm naughty and often go for some chocolate, especially a chocolate milkshake... that's right, they aren't just for kids ;) Recently however I've been trying to be a bit healthier. I freed my smoothie maker from the realms of my cupboard where it was being held captive by empty bottles and bowls for well over a year!
 
I rummaged through my tins and juices and put together this tasty little number which I have named ...
 
Drum roll .........

Ingredients
 
- 1 half tinned quartered pears in fruit juice
- 3 scoops of Vanilla frozen yogurt
- 4-6 ice cubes
- 1 Vanilla pod
 
There really is no need for me to tell you how to do this. Just put all your ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add some apple juice of some milk to water the mixture down. It's all trial and error really. I've made this particular smoothie 3 times now and each time I added something slightly different and the results were always tasty :D
 
If you end up with some left over mixture. Just cover it and leave it in the fridge for the morning. Don't leave it for more than 12 hours as I found it didn't look very appetising.
 
Good Luck!



Give it a go yourself and give me your feedback ♥

Overweight at 28

Sorry for the rhyming title XD I play way too much Bingo. I HATE diets with a passion! The only time I have tried it was 4 years ago before I met my boyfriend. Well it wasn't so much a diet as it was a stop eating all together marathon. I lived off soup and crackers for nearly 2 months and exercised for an hour every day. I lost over a stone and felt great. But like all good things it had to come to an end. As soon as I went back on the chips I put it all back on plus double.
 
Since then I haven't been near a person on a diet nevermind done one myself. I have just avoided them completely. Everyone seems to be on a diet now. We all have that one friend who is on a diet and their favourite phrase is 'the diet starts tomorrow' everytime they slip up. They make you feel bad because your not on one. So basically calling you fat lol I am the first person to tell someone to embrace their CURVES. Mind you though when I say curves I mean these ones ➷
