Shakes before bed...

I had hoped it would be a productive day, in my eyes a productive day would be to ensure I have blogged so much that I fall asleep with the laptop on the bed... I think that is definitely going to happen considering I am in bed and my eyes are fairly tired!!... 

However, I hope you have all enjoyed the blogs so far today!! 

I guess, before bed I couldn't resist making a smoothie.... To be fair, it was actually more like half past eight but it seems bed is calling and I need a rest so bed is definitely calling!! 

Anyway, smoothie making time!.... 

No doubt, from my Snapchat and Instagram stories you will see that initially the beginning of the smoothie making process everything was going magnificently and then I had to have a little blonde moment as always and call for Emma's assistance!! 

I swear, it's just tiredness or again another blonde moment! Let's go with the first one as I can't always blame it on my hair colour, can I? 

So anyway, for whatever reason it seemed to be... I couldn't twist the blender into the slot! Ah, it needed stronger hands than mine I guess... Ha!

 

So initially the first step is to prep! Decide what you wish to have inside your smoothie and remember to add liquid... I genuinely forget that bit haha! 

As you can see, I blinking love my fruit! So when I tend to make a smoothie I make sure it's full to the brim with different layers of fruit as afterwards I always feel extremely full-up but very healthy! I do add milk to the smoothie though!! 

It's taken me a while to get to my happy place and I couldn't wait to express that with you all as it's important to share with those who support you and who care to let them know your okay. Especially, as it's been 'Mental Health Awareness Day' a week ago... I have seen and shared so much support online as you all know how much this day and topic means to me. 

The idea of knowing your all reading my blogs makes me feel satisfied because I have you and your eyes with me for those few moments and within those moments I want you all to know how important it is to speak but to not only speak to be listened too! 

You're all special, you all have a voice that should be heard and somebody is always out there for you! Never think otherwise! 

I would spend forever in a day replying to every single comment and email you all send me because to know you have someone makes my day...

I want you all to feel empowered and confident within your body and within yourself as everybody is beautiful! 

This is why, when I feel confident I share my feelings with you all as I know it will encourage others to share their confidence and so on! 

Be You! 

Much Love As Always

A Winter Berry Mix Smoothie...

I can't actually believe that its been the first week in January already, time certainly flies by!! 

Anyway, as you all know I have become pretty obsessed with Tumblr and Instagram photos that are posted as they inspire me so much and I just love sharing my favourite ones with you all!! 

Just because Christmas is over, it doesn't actually mean that Winter is over and done with yet as Winter actually finishes on the 21st of March!! So Scott and I thought we would create a little Winter Berry Mix Smoothie, which my nan loved as she ate the rest before we went back for seconds...

Tip 1) All you have to do is choose the fruit or products that you want to  use!! If you want to follow what Scott and I used then all you will need is the following: 

1) Berries, - we bought a berry mix from Waitrose as we found it a lot cheaper than buying each individual fruit. 

2) A banana, if you like you could use more than one banana it depends how strong you want your smoothie.

3) Yoghurt - we used a peach yoghurt as that's my favourite type of yoghurt but again it depends on what you would like. 

4) Vanilla Ice cream - adding a two little scoops of ice cream creates the perfect thickness and icy-ness to your smoothie!! 

5) A big bowl - in order to blend your products together.

6) Blender - make sure you have a blender or an actual smoothie maker... 

 

Step 1) Blend your berries together until you make almost a sauce like texture. 

Step 2) Then simply chop the banana into pieces and blend away until the banana disappears.  

Step 3) Add 3 or 4 big spoons of yoghurt and mix again.

Step 4) To add a little sweetness simply add 2 or 3 spoons of sugar and mix it all together. 

Step 5) Before, finishing your winter berry mix add one 1 or 2 scoops of ice cream.

Step 6) Then simply find some desert dishes and get ready to eat or drink your delicious winter berry mix smoothie... 

I hope you have fun making your smoothie desert!! 

Much Love, Anya Marie xx
