I am always looking for different combinations and recipe ideas to make smoothies more interesting to drink and also adding ingredients that provide nutritional and health benefits too. One of the books that I recently discovered is Green Kitchen Smoothies written by David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl.David and Luise live in Stockholm and are the creators of a food blog called Green Kitchen Stories. This recipe is inspired by one of the recipes from the book.

Sounds like the perfect way to start the day - I make something very similar after a run with coconut water instead of filtered water. It keeps the hunger pains away :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a healthy shake! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOoh this looks delicious, a nice sweet way to start the day!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that green smoothies book too
I just got that book and it's great! My kids have LOVED trying this banana snickers shake :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom would make banana smoothies for us when we were growing up, so I have a real nostalgia attached to it! I love the snickers twist on this!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this for the boys this weekend! They have a real thing for milkshakes at the mo and I think smoothies would be just as readily accepted if they were as tasty as this! H x
ReplyDeleteSnickers are my favourite chocolate bar, so I'm definitely going to try this recipe!

ReplyDeleteNow this sounds absolutely divine, not sure the snickers would last long enough ;)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really yummy and it's healthy too, bonus!
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd mixture! I'd be interested to try it ou though.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I love the Green Kitchen Stories blog but haven't bought the book, I'm tempted now though as that shake looks divine! Lovely recipe, have yummed and pinned it!
