Berrilicious Smoothie


Since summer is just around the corner I thought I'd share this simple and quick recipe for a super refreshing smoothy! 

All You Need: 
  • 200ml Natural Yogurt
  • 50ml Milk
  • 4 Soup spoons of Sugar
  • Summer Fruit Pack : 3 Soup Spoons
    • I'm using blackberries, cherries, Raspberries, Blueberries and whatever else was in the pack!
Servings: ~ 350ml smoothie 
Time: +/- 5 mins



How to ?
→ Add it all to the blender.
→ The milk will make your smoothie more liquid-like, taking away it's soft mouse like feel so be gentle with milk.
→ Unless you love your sweet smoothies then stick to 2 spoons of sugar.
→ Beat in medium setting for 1-3 mins. Depending on how soft you want your smoothie. The longer the softer!










& Enjoy it!

→ If you don't have any then get a big rock and wrap your ordinary choco in some tin foil and beat it up. That's what I had to do today. Literally!
→ Scoop up some dough with a soup spoon and drop it on the baking paper. 
→ Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Leave to cool for 5 mins, 2 of those mins should be left in the baking tray.


*hint hint* There will be allot more cookies if you don't eat 1/4 of the dough. (: 
Hope ye try this and let me know if you do! Enjoy!!
