Cleaning Out The Freezer

Weekends are for shopping, though I'm not sure when I'll manage to go this weekend, what with work and a wedding fair to go to. So I've been using up some of the left over portions of frozen fruit, so I have enough space to buy more punnets.

Sunshine Smoothie

The suns been out a lot here lately, makes me hopeful for spring :)

This morning I've made a rather yellow smoothie, made from yummy tropical fruits to get me through my morning lectures.
 Ingredients
1 banana
1 tinned pear
2 tablespoon tinned peaches
1 tablespoon low fat natural yogurt
1 tablespoon wheat bran
~200mL mango juice

To make it vegan, just take out the yogurt, up the amount of fruit, or reduce the amount of juice so it's not so runny.

Peach and Raspberry Smoothie

Hello!
Another new day! And still feeling great. I did not want to go to uni this morning, but if I ever want to become a pharmacist I must do it!

Ingredients
200mL(ish) apple juice
1/2 cup frozen Raspberries
1/2 banana
About 4 slices of peaches (from a tin)
1 tablespoon of wheat bran

Realised I've been making these smoothies all wrong, you should put the liquid in first then add the rest of your ingredients, as it makes it easier for your blender to blend.

It's sooooo good!! I kind of want to have it again for my lunch, but I'm not going to do that. It was very, very tasty though!
