Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

Tuesday, March 15, 2016


Recently I have been absolutely obsessed with this smoothie. I think that it's perfect for in the morning as it contains oats which fill you up and prepare you for the day. Even though it's not the nicest to look at it tastes so nice and if I could I would drink them all day everyday!
Ingredients:
- Banana
- Peanut Butter
- Milk (to make it vegan, almond milk)
- Oats
Method:
1. Break up the banana in to small pieces and put it in to the blender or smoothie maker of your choice.
2. Add a table spoon of peanut butter in to the cup and then fill it to just above the banana with milk and blitz quickly.
3. Then add 25g of oats in to the mixture and anything else you want such as golden syrup or honey and blitz again.
I only tried peanut butter for the first time recently, but now it's an absolute obsession! I'll have it in anything. Once lent is over me and my mum are going to make peanut butter cookies!
If you try it, let me know how you feel about this smoothie and whether or not I should do any other posts like this one!

Healthy Salad Wraps

Friday, October 23, 2015


I'm going to be doing something a little bit different today but I hope you like it.

Recently, I've been trying to get a little bit more healthier as I've joined the gym and am going on runs more often I decided that I should eat healthier to work along side the exercise so I've decided to share with you what a regularly take to school to eat at lunch.

You will need:

-Tortilla wraps
-Hummus
-Baby leaf lettuce
-Diced pepper
-Quartered cucumber
-Nando's Peri Peri sauce
I spread a layer of hummus across the whole of the wrap then down the middle I put the lettuce (I prefer baby leaf salad which comes from a bag).
Then over the top I sprinkle diced pepper and cucumber. I prefer red or orange pepper, I don't know exactly why but I just find that it tastes nicer than green pepper.
On top of everything I then pout Nando's sauce. Today I used the medium peri peri sauce which is quite spicy of you put too much on, like I do all of the time, but I also like the lemon and herb sauce which personally is my favourite.
But you can use any salad dressing or sauce you'd like, go with what you prefer!
Thanks for reading! Send me a tweet @evie_b_f if you made one!

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
