Coconut Chocolate Thickshake
I am getting closer and closer to my ideal thickshake! You can’t really beat a good old McDonald’s Chocolate Shake, despite what frozen-banana-loving smoothie drinkers will tell you. Anyway, I’ve finally mastered the texture of that all-time favourite frozen treat. Use an ice cream maker! Freezing a milkshake mix in…
Minty Green Smoothie
I got a wonderful message from my cousin and aunt, who sent me pictures of their morning green smoothie and the recipe. I am so pleased with their amazing drink! We had talked about making green smoothies while on our morning run together, so I really appreciated them sharing. It…

Satiety for weight loss, healthy…

Peppermint Green Smoothie
This isn’t your typical green smoothie, loaded with many fruits and weird vegetables. The spinach and avocado provide the colour, as well as vitamins, minerals, folate, fibre, lutein, and healthy fats. I added coconut flour and psyllium husks for extra thickness and fibre, and the (dairy) milk lends calcium, protein,…
