How To: Raspberry & Banana Vegan Smoothie

Monday, June 15, 2015


Recently, I have been trying to be healthier as I have two different dance shows coming up in the next two weeks and don't want to feel bloated. A few days ago my dad came back from going to the Co-Op with a smoothie maker with him (Kenwood Smoothie 2Go) so I took the opportunity to make a delicious drink!

Ingredients:
1 banana
a hand-full of frozen raspberries
3 cubes of ice
soya milk

Firstly, put the frozen products in the bottom (raspberries and ice) and then put the rest of the fruit (or veg) above it. You don't need to chop the banana as it is easily breakable.
Then, quarter fill it with soya milk. Personally I prefer soya milk but you can use whatever milk you want. My brother made the exact same smoothie but with cows milk and I find the colour isn't as nice and is too creamy to me. Soya milk is also good because then vegans can drink this, my mum doesn't really want me to be a vegan but she is supporting me still and we're coming up with different vegan meals.
Finally, put on the blending lid and tip it upside down put it on to the base and turn the machine on. I alternate between high and low as I don't want to break it with the amount of frozen produce in it.

I have been thinking of doing more posts like this and maybe making a food & drink section of my blog with different meals that don't really need cooking
