Why use frozen ingredients?

I know what you are thinking, why does this recipe use frozen ingredients instead of fresh. There are a few reasons for this.

Frozen fruit is just as nutritious as fresh fruit.

Frozen fruit lasts longer as you do not need to use it all at once.

Frozen fruit is usually cheaper (perfect for if you have a tight budget!)

The face frozen fruit straight from the freezer is cold is perfect to make a delicious chilled smoothie without having to put it in the fridge before drinking it!

With easy ready chopped frozen ingredients, you can even get the kids making it!

Can I change the ingredients around?

The beauty of smoothies is that the ingredients can be changed as much as you wish. Instead of blueberries in this recipe, you could use blackberries if they are in season for a different flavour. If your budget is low you can always swap for cheaper ingredients.

I would recommend however leaving the banana in if you can as that is what makes a perfect consistency.

The spinach in this recipe is not only great for colour but good for nutrition too as it is packed full of iron without actually having many calories at all. If you can I would definitely recommend leaving the spinach in!

If you prefer soy milk, rice milk or even cows milk there is no reason you can not swap the milk of course too.

How to make this recipe vegan

Many vegans prefer to not eat honey as it is generally not considered to be vegan. If you are looking to replace this there are other options for a sweet alternative. Agave nectar is one of the most popular options but you could add anything sweet you enjoy or perhaps just miss this out and have a less sweet smoothie.

Why not make this recipe for you and your partner for breakfast? Imagine making somebody smile that you love first thing in the morning with a simple smoothie?

Incidentally, I was thinking the other day, why is it you never see soap stars eating healthily? They are always in the pub not drinking smoothies!
