Summer Fruit Smoothie

On Friday I made little freezer bags full of frozen fruit to make smoothies with while I was at home, which is great. Except I left them in my freezer and the flat, so over the weekend I was back to normal diet, which was difficult because I'm used to having smoothies, so deciding what I wanted for lunch in Morrison's was hard.

Anyway, this was one of my freezer bags :)
Ingredients
1/2 frozen banana
1 cup frozen summer fruits
3 tablespoons low fat natural yogurt
1 tablespoon wheat bran
~200mL apple juice

This was a super tasty smoothie, and perfect for a morning. It was a little sharp but not too much, enough to wake me up :)

This was quite a thick smoothie, but it was very tasty. I haven't exactly been having low calorie smoothies today, not as low as they have been anyway. But I don't mind, I need something to keep me going when I'm at work.

Also, downloaded this awesome app from the Play Store (I have an android phone). It's called Be Food Smart from the people who do those healthy living 5-a-day adverts. It's got some awesome recipes in, which I'm going to have a go at this week.

This is a very tasty smoothie, but I think I put too much wheat bran in cause it's a bit...bitty. Tasty and good for me lol, but a bit bitty. So if you make it, and you want it a bit smoother, don't put so much wheat bran in.

I went shopping yesterday and bought said wheat bran for 78p for 375g - I bought two :D. I also bought some measuring cups so I can give more accurate recipes.

Me and the fiance made chilli last night, it's been stewing in the slow cooker all night and will be all day, so we'll have that for tea. Not sure how low-cal that is, but I don't care, cause it'll be tasty :).
