Whatever your surprising use of a blender or juicer is, Lidl then we'd love to know more.

Ive just made almond butter and it's a lovely, healthier alternative to peanut butter. Very simple to do.

When I buy my frozen berries & veggies for blending, I portion them out into bags.

So, a Bag of berries & a Bag of spinach or make mixed together & portioned into smaller bags or boxes for blending in the morning

Add a handful of nuts or seeds & plant milk

I feel healthier having had it

Very simple - pear juice and lime in a juicer is a great breakfast drink. I find that adding lime to any juice recipe gives it a really refreshing edge.

4 apples, half a cucumber, quarter slice of lime and lemon, small slice of ginger, 5 carrots and a slice of avocado... YUM

Cocoa bean smoothie:

Cocoa powder
1 tbsp water
Banana
Black beans
Rice milk
Honey
Ice cubes
Cocoa water mixture

Mix together until frothy and enjoy!

Just apple and yogurt, thinned with milk if needed. Yogurt and milk must be cold from the fridge. Simples, delicious!

The ultimate power and detox green smoothie:

A handful of spinach
1/2 Apple
1/2 pear
2 inch piece of cucumber
1/2 piece of ginger
A few mint leaves
8-10 almonds
Water to top up

Pulse in smoothie maker until smooth, drink and feel virtuous!

Best tip: buy frozen spinach / frozen berries etc, smoothies are so much nicer cold!

So many to choose from but my go to one this week is:

I raw peeled beetroot
Handful of grapes
One apple
5-6 strawberries

Sounds grim and comes out bright bright red but is yummy!

Cup of frozen berries
1 chopped banana
1 teaspoon Vit C powder
Scoop of Glutamine powder
Capful of concentrated aloe juice
1 teaspoon Moringa powder
2 teaspoons Wheatgrass or Barleygrass powder
1-2 teaspoons diatomaceous earth

Fixed my leaky gut, and keeps histamine intolerance in check. Also keeps hair and nails strong.
Looks bloody disgusting, but tastes great!

Spinach, cucumber, carrot, celery, avocado and apple. Yum! maybe a bit of ginger, if you want to pep it up a bit.

Banana if you're not keen on avocado but banana has such a strong taste, whereas avocado makes it nice and creamy.

To make a lovely summery smoothie blend strawberries, low fat milk, silken tofu and a little honey together. A great fruity protein drink.

1-2 teaspoons diatomaceous earth

What the jiggins is that?!

My favourite blender soup recipe is butternut squash, carrot, and ginger:
Roast a whole butternut squash with some olive oil
In a pot boil with:
6 large carrots
1 inch fresh ginger
Little salt & pepper to taste.
Once veggies are cooked, pop in blender & wiz away! Perfect for cold winter evenings!

Frozen mango, tinned pineapples, lime juice, Greek yogurt, lime juice and finally some guava juice. What a taste sensation; one a night and I'm on cloud 9. In them odd occasion I add some spinach for the green factor and it's just as yummy!

I love to make pineapple, crushed ice, coconut milk and strawberries.

Melon and pineapple juice with ice.

omg its so nice, its got a creamy taste which i wasnt expecting

My go to mix is:
Almond soya milk
Honey
flax seed
blueberries
raspberries
strawberries

Yum

I like to use almond milk then add in a banana and strawberries. A hint of elderfower and honey also really add an alternative flavour.

Not nutritional, but a very nice juice "Peach cobbler":

2 peaches

1 apple

1 sweet potato

sprinkle of cinnamon, or Nutmeg

Instead of buying tomato based sauces, I just whizz 6 tomatoes, 1 pepper (any colour) and an onion in the blender and then heat as necessary. For a curry sauce, I add in a chilli pepper and fresh ginger then add a veg stock cube and curry powder when heating. Delicious and fat free :)

I've only tried this Paleo smoothie a few times, but loved it:

cold herbal tea and ice 1/4
protein powder 1/4
frozen berries (any!) 1/4
and top the rest with flaxseed and almonds.

WHIZZ. enjoy! I did add chia seeds instead of flax seeds too.

Handful of spinach, frozen strawberries, blueberries and a banana- yummy!!!

Blueberry's, ginger, raspberrys, honey, milk, blackberrys ,strawberries and a very small sprinkle of cinnamon.
Blend together and you have a very healthy shake to boost your immune system at this stime of year

Tomato and red pepper soup
Red onion
Sweet red peppers
Chopped tomatoes
Vegetable stock
Cherry tomatoes, roasted in balsamic vinegar first
Brown onion, peppers and mix with tomatoes which have been roasted in the balsamic vinegar, add chopped tomatoes, veg stock and some water to the top level of the veg, bring to the boil then let simmer for 30mins. BLEND to finish.

Anything with strawberries in!
