Being Healthy...Ish

Now that I've finished Uni for the summer I have a lot more free time, so other than applying for summer jobs ( I'm in desperate need of a car! ) I thought I'd occupy my time with eating right, and keeping fit...Ok I put my hands up its only been a few days and with multiple chocolate lapses its maaaybe not the strongest start...but I'm gonna stick with it.

Being a big 'ItsJudysLife' Fan, I've been super inspired by Benji and his love of fruit and veg smoothies. I absolutely hate veg and eating them is a massive chore for me so I thought 'Hey i'll give this whole juicing malark a go.' Two smoothies down and so far they're alright, nothing special but maybe that is partly to do with not following any recipe in particular and just throwing things in willy nilly..

My first attempt was a Blueberry, Apple, Banana, and Yogurt combo..tbf this was pretty yummy although the blender broke part way making it so wasn't as smooth as it probably should be..



Today's really wasn't good, went a little overboard with the spinach and the colour was anything but attractive..the Raspberry and Apple helped with the sweetness but jeeze, not again!

After that massive fail...run time with the dogs. 3km done I was pooped, so unfit but I really enjoyed it and I think the dogs did too, they're still fast asleep!


 


Anyway, I'd love to hear if any of you guys have tried this whole smoothie thing, and know of any yummy recipes?

  1. I need to start making some smoothies again. The first time I made a smoothie, I'd accidentally left some of the plastic packaging in the blender. It was not good..... It's put me off ever since haha. It's good that you're making such an effort to get fit and healthy though.
