Summer Snaps

Just a quick blog post today to show you a few pictures I took today in the summer sun! We went out to 'Chasewater' in Staffordshire for a walk in the sun. (Who else is LOVING this British sun by the way?)
The lake is so pretty when the sun light sparkles and bounces off the water, and the dog loved the spilt ice-cream on the floor...
There were also cute baby geese (I think they were geese but I'm no bird expert! Hahaha) all in all it was a really nice day and I even got a opportunity to work on my tan! (Although I'm still as white as flour. Sad face.)

Nice view of the lake... And Bonnie's bum!




How are you enjoying the sun? :)

The 3 Ingredient Smoothie

It's probably not the most appealing to look at, but my blueberry and orange smoothie surely tastes good!
We all get cravings for chocolate or sweets, but it's the sugars we crave and not the actual Mars Bar; so by replacing the 'bad' sugars with the 'good' natural sugars, you can still get that sugar fix!
I'm not saying that this recipe is full of natural sugars because you can create more complex smoothies that contain banana's, raspberries, strawberries etc. which will obviously contain more! (I will do a recipe for this at some point :) ) But for those of you (like me) who just want to whiz something up real quick... this is the recipe for you!

The Ingredients!
1 Handful of blueberries
1 Orange
3 Tablespoons of low fat yogurt (I used Greek yogurt here)


The Method!
First, grab a hand-whisk/blender and put the handful of blueberries in.



Next, chop off the peel of the orange and slice in to two pieces.


Then pour on the yogurt and whiz it up!




Voila!

(I told you it wasn't appealing to look at...you were warned)

Yes it really is THAT simple. You're welcome.

Hope you enjoyed reading this blog post! :)
