Cinnamon Banana Milk Smoothie

It was a banana morning that's for sure. Add a little cinnamon and you've got yourself a delicious, refreshing smoothie. I was looking to make something less thick than my previous few smoothies and managed to succeed. I will definitely be making this recipe again!

Cinnamon Banana Milk Smoothie (serves ~ 1 - 3)

3.5 bananas
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
1 tsp cinnamon
4 - 6 dates pitted
2 cups of cold water

Blend in your blender for about a minute and serve immediately! Enjoy :)

Apple Carrot Juice

I got a juicer for my birthday last month and haven't always had time to try some delicious juice recipes. Sometimes simple is best though. My Dad and sister can't drink apple juice from the store because of the preservatives and the processing it's gone through, however, the real, fresh stuff they CAN! 

I can understand why too... it tastes so fresh. There's something about juicing your own fruit and veggies. I used to just add them into our Vitamix, blend them up with a little water and strain the pulp to make juice. This works just as well, but when you have a legit juicer on hand... it's even easier!

There's something about apple and carrot together. I can find fresh apple juice a little too sweet, so adding carrot is a nice way to tone it down and add a pretty orange colour :) Try this simple, delicious and refreshing juice to remind you of those summer days that are just around the corner. Or so I keep telling myself...

Apple Carrot Juice (serves ~ 1 - 4)

5 - 6 apples
2 carrots

Juice away (on the higher setting)! Serve cold or over ice.. yum :)
