Healthy Ice Cream For Breakfast?!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

This is a suuuuper easy recipe to change up your normal breakfast especially as it is summer now (yes, English weather it's summer, do what you gotta do!) so ice cream for breakfast sounds pretty fab if you like ice cream!
This is not my original recipe but it's just ideas pulled from other recipes and made into a quick and easy recipe I use for breakfast

 You'll need: 

•  2 chopped bananas (or 1 depending on how much ice cream you want)
•  A choice of your own ingredient, I have used frozen raspberries but you can use anything to add flavour like cinnamon, Cacao powder or another type of fruit, anything! 
• Some toppings (nuts, dried fruit) 

 How to: 

• Chop the bananas before you go to bed and put in a freezer bag in the freezer for the night
•  In the morning whack out the food blender, and put your frozen bananas in with the other flavouring ( I used frozen raspberries)
•  Blend it all up, it takes a while to go into an ice cream like consistency, just leave it blending while your sort out your topping
• Once it's in a smooth consistency put it into a bowl and chuck your toppings on, and yes mine is ever so slightly 'Instagram ready' ( slight perfectionist) but it's just as good to chuck them on top
• Finally, grab a spoon, a glass of water and dig in!

All Things Green...

Anyone that knows me, will know how much I love my smoothies and juices esp green ones, so this is the average green smoothie I normally make at home.

I use the Breville Blender which at first was a total impulse buy but has definitely become a worthy impulse buy, it’s super awesome and not expensive. I got mine off amazon for £22 but they usually range from £20-£35 depending on the type you get mine is the Blend-Active Personal Blender. It’s so easy and convenient, the bottle it’s all blended in is the same bottle you can drink it from, you just change the lid from the blade blender lid to the drink lid, with very little washing up (always a bonus for a student).

In this smoothie, I have put in:
1 handful of spinach
2 table spoons of low fat natural yoghurt
Half an avocado
Handful of ice cubes
1 Apple

It’s not the sweetest of smoothies so you could add lemon juice or honey for sweetness but I prefer mine unsweetened.

The smoothies can also be quite stodgy so I sometimes add either skimmed milk or water to loosen the mixture to make it blend better into a smoothie.

You can put anything in a smoothie and make your own recipes I try to make at least 2 or 3 of these type of smoothies a week because it’s a fab way of getting the greens in your body in a different form to just eating them in meals.
