Blueberry and Strawberry Smoothie

It is summer time and rather than tuck into a bowl of cereal I would much rather have a homemade fruit smoothie to start the day

Now this brings me to my newest kitchen gadget which I got for the bargin price of £10 thanks to supermarket vouchers! I have been hankering after a juicer for some time - I used to have one but it was so lumpy and cumbersome that I rarely bothered to get it out - a while ago the Magic Bullet caught my attention but was an un justifiable expense so I stuck to making smoothies in my blender and picking seeds out of my teeth!  Then I discovered the Hinari Genie - which does everything I could want it to do and more - so now I have a shiney new kitchen gadget which doesn't take up much space and am happily consuming fresh juice and smoothies to my hearts content! The blender part turns into a cup so there is less washing up and it even comes with lids so I can take my smoothie with me!


ingredients
50g strawberries hulled
100g Blueberries
1 kiwi (peeled)
1 banana
1 tsp runny honey
150ml pouring yoghurt (or similar - you could use milk if you prefer)


First task is to juice the strawberries, blueberries and kiwi - if you dont have a juicer you can either chuck them straight into the blender and live with the pips or squish them through the sieve to cut down on most of the seeds

add the banana, honey and yoghurt and blend until smooth it is as simple as that

enjoy! this works out at about 296 calories a glass and is a great start to the day
