A Simply Nourishing Avocado Chocolate Smoothie Recipe!
This is just an easy peasy recipe, that can be thrown together and ready to drink within 5 minutes, as long as you don't get distracted! I get distracted sometimes, but usually, when we are selling this in our shop, I manage to concentrate long enough to get to the end!
1/ You need to throw the following ingredients into a strong blender:
1/2 an avocado scooped out
250 ml Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 x Frozen Banana (If you don't have to hand use an unfrozen one and throw more ice in)
1 x Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract by Taylor and Coleridge
1 x Tablespoon Agave Sweetener Chantico Original
1 and a half x tablespoon Raw Cacao Powder by The Raw Chocolate Company (Substitute Cocoa powder, if you wish)
A handful of ice.
2/ Blend.
3/ Pour into a big glass. We serve ours in mason jar!
This is delicious! Smooth, nutritious and delicious.

Easy 5 minute Raw, Vegan Soup
Sometimes it is really hard trying to eat healthily and especially when you're hungry, rushing around, trying to do so much and have hardly a moment to think about nutrition. That's why I created this Easy 5 Minute Raw Vegan Soup Recipe.
Influenced by the tastes of my customers and a lady who came in the other week and told me what I could do with my copious amounts of wild garlic!
This is so easy, so good for you and so very enjoyable, so, here goes:
1/ Put the following into a blender.
A handful each of WildGarlic, SpringGreens and Spinach.
A quarter of a Kallo stock cube.
3 generous teaspoons of MellowBrown Rice and Soy Miso.
Chilli to taste.
A drizzle of Clearspring Japanese Toasted Sesame Oil.
Organic Tamari Soy Sauce to taste.
A shake of Turmeric.
And around 600ml of hot but not boiling water.
2/ Whizz blender until required texture. I whizz until there are still little chunks of leaves but you might prefer it throughly blended and smooth.
3/ Pour into a mug or bowl, drink to your health and enjoy.
This recipe creates around 4 portions but of course that depends on the size of bowl or mug that you are using.
