A 5-Minute Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

This 5-minute strawberry smoothie (Crowded Kitchen)uses frozen strawberries or raspberries (you must freeze them first before making the recipe).

The mango can be subbed with pineapple (sub with sweet apples for local, but it won’t taste the same), which also should be frozen. All you then need is plant milk and yoghurt, and maple syrup to sweeten.

One comedian says the main brand of smoothies in supermarkets has a cheek to call themselves innocent! The prices charge for what is essentially blended fruit are astronomical.

And the company is now owned by a big American corporation. He says the cheapest way to make a banana smoothie, is simply to put a banana in your mouth – then swish your head around to blend it!

Invest in a Good Blender

If you enjoy making smoothies, it’s worth investing in a good blender (it doesn’t have to be very expensive, just one with a glass jug and good motor that does not burn out, and is easy to clean).

It’s UK law that if you buy a new electrical appliance, the shop you buy from must take back the old appliance. So if you have dusty old broken blender in your cupboard (or anything else you don’t use like a chip fat fryer), take it back for a simple swap!
