last night boo again said he would smoothie with me for dinner. we were both late getting home last night as he'd been out for a run and i went to the beauty clinic and supermarket after work. so it was late, i was tired. i asked him what kind of smoothie he wanted, using the pile of ingredients on the kitchen worksurface for inspiration. despite the raspberries, two varieties of strawberries, blueberries and more, we somehow came up with caramel. this is how it went.
i used:
one banana
one maya mango
two leaves romaine lettuce
one hugely overflowing dessertspoon of raw cashew butter
two teaspoons coconut butter
one teaspoon lecithin
glug maple syrup
small teaspoon raw chocolate powder
one teaspoon maca powder
drizzle vanilla essence
pinch salt
half pint water
now i know not all of that is strictly raw and it could be a lot healthier, with less fatty stuff and more fruit and greens. but you know what? it was very very nearly an ed's butterscotch milkshake, so, like, who cares?!
on a slightly less flippant note, i'd also had big green salad with sprouts and seeds and tremendous piles of fruit today, so i think it all balanced out.
