Time for some Smoothie Making!


Finally went and picked up my brand new blender from Noel Leeming and I cannot wait to get started on some smoothies and juices. Just so you know I bought this with my Fly Buys points so it literally cost me nothing - so make sure you check your points balance, you never know what you might be able to get.


Went fruit and vege shopping and grabbed all the essentials I wanted to make a large batch. I have bought in bulk so I can make a large batch to last me the week.


After all the chopping, peeling and shaking all about I ended up with this yummo bag of mixed fruit and veg ready for me to make smoothies. (Note: I have made this in bulk for a weeks worth of smoothies in a large snaplock bag however you may want to split up your week and therefore I would recommend splitting the mix amongst smaller sandwich snaplock bags) Its great for me to grab out in the morning as it is nice and cold and gives you a nice wake up call. Check out my recipe below for this amazing mix :)


In this lovely bag of fruit and veg amazingness is:
1 bunch of Kale
1/2 bunch of Celery
2 large Mangoes
6-8 medium sized Kiwifruit
6-8 medium sized Apples
6-8 medium sized Mandarin/Orange

I chopped and diced and peeled and chucked it all in this bag now to make my smoothie please see below:

Milly's Mix Up
1 & 1/2 cups of the fruit & veg from the bag
1 & 1/2 cups of coconut water (or another juice/water)
1/2 cup of ice (optional)

Blend the crap out of this baby and then serve <3

I found this super yummy and it has all the goodness I need to get me through the day.

I'm thinking of trying a berry one tonight and I can't wait, I'm a huge berry fan! What are some of your fav smoothie mixes?

Lots of love,
Happier, Healthier & Fitter

Im in love with this....




UFC Refresh Coconut Water is so good! I have tried other coconut waters previously and this is by far my fav so far.

I know many people drink this for the health benefits or the essential nutrients but can I just mention how amazing it tastes.! The added benefit of knowing its good for you too just makes it even better

Over the past few years coconut water has become a 'thing' just check out the graph below to have a look at sales of Coconut Water for the last 10 years.




I decided to do some more digging to see what I can find out about coconut water as I have heard of its benefits and then came across this article about Coconut Water being no better for you than water?

Click the article below to have a read

There's Bad News for People Who Swear by Coconut Water - Click Here

What are your opinions do you believe that Coconut Water is better for you and helps retain the essential nutrients you require or is it really just as good for you as water?

I love the taste of coconut water and the supposed benefits, if anyone has any opinions or thoughts let me know. I would just like to see where everyone sits on it and whether or not it is beneficial for me to continue drinking these.

Stay tuned for more

Lots of love Milly x
