A mellow and creamy cream smoothie with a hint of sweetness.
Daily Smoothies
I'm back on my smoothies.
Did I tell you I stopped making them for just over a week and came down with a chest infection?
I was struggling with the dark winter days. I was so tired and mornings were a bit of a struggle so the smoothies were given the push. It was all I could do to get us out the door in the morning.
Big mistake!
I felt even worse for not having them and then the chest infection took root.
Well I'm still hating these dark dreich days, but now I'm back on my smoothies (like this apple and kale smoothie) and definitely feeling better for it.
Melon, Spinach and Avocado Smoothie
This one is a new combination for me.
Honeydew melon, frozen spinach and avocado are the main ingredients.
I had a wee taste of the avocado when I was making it. Well you have to don't you? It was difficult not to jut scoff the lot. I really do love avocado.
The smoothie itself is smooth and mellow. The flavour is fresh and creamy but there's no kick to it. You don't taste the spinach, but the melon and avocado do come through.
A real pleasure to drink.

You'll know by now of my quest to get as much fruit and veg into Cooper as possible. I try to make sure he has plenty over the cours...
