Creamy orange and carrot smoothie

This smoothie has a great contrast of zing and cream as it blends carrot, ginger and Alpro yoghurt. I have never been a great veg eater, and although no longer as fussy as I used to be as a child (brocollini is now a staple), I often “forget” to add vegetables to my food.So I have decided to drink it! I have been using my Ninja nutri bullet blender everyday during lockdown to make what I call “smoothie snacks” (a good alternative to crisps, but the jury is still out on that).My recent favourite is this creamy orange and carrot smoothie. Ingredients:200ml orange juice1 small carrot, peeled and chopped100g alpro vanilla yoghurt1/2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped 1. Blend it all together (I also prefer to strain it for a smoother drink)Yep, that easy to get some vitamin c! Click here to explore other smoothie recipes.

It is not cherry season yet, I learnt the hard way after having a huge craving for them and not finding them in the fresh fruit section in the supermarket. Thank goodness for frozen fruit and veg, am I right?!  Excited with the prospect of cherry tarts, cherry cakes and cherry jam I almost forgot I have to lose 6lbs before my wedding in August. So I made cherry bakewell tart transform into a dairy-free smoothie and I am hooked! The cherry bakewell tart is a British institution, it is a lovely combination of frangipane and cherries ladden with icing sugar. So have all the taste with a fraction of the calories in 2 easy steps! Cherry bakewell smoothie  150g pitted cherries 80g sugar 300ml almond milk 3 heaped tbsp of ground almonds Honey to taste 1.
