The Green Monster Smoothie

Morning guys!

So seen as a lot of you guys (my self included) are embarking upon a lifestyle change or weight-loss journey in 2015 I thought I would kick-start my first recipe of 2015 with something super tasty, pretty healthy and very green! As they say at The Breakfast Club - "Green is good" and well, it is.

Don't let the fact that this smoothie is green put you off, seriously. I was just as skeptical back in the day and I'm still afraid of full vegetable juices - (a bottle of Carrot Juice in Sweden was almost enough to put me off Juicing for life!). Yes the Spinach makes the Smoothie Green but I kid you not, you won't even be able to taste the Spinach - it will just pack in tonnes of nutrients without compromising on flavour.

This Smoothie requires a mere 2 minutes of preparation and you're set for the day ahead. Oh and it's Vegan!

What you'll need:
1 slice frozen Banana
1 big handful of Spinach
1 TBSP Meridian Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup of Alpro Plain or Vanilla Yogurt
1 Cup Water or Almond Milk
1 TSP Agave Syrup

Simply throw it all in a Blender and serve up. I think this tastes better through a straw as well!

I have one of these Smoothies nearly every day and they taste so good but still keep your sweet cravings at bay.

The Breakfast Club - Spitalfields, London

Hey my lovelies, so the other week I got myself on an early train to Kings Cross and then hopped on the tube to Spitalfields. Upon arrival in Spitalfields I made my way across to The Breakfast Club. After hearing about this place from many foodie bloggers, it's safe to say my expectations were high. Hey, I even told Kyle just to 'trust me on this one' and of course he followed my lead and well you'll be pleased to know my needs were satisfied. The Breakfast Club is bloody brilliant! If you're a sucker for Breakfast or Brunch this is the place to go. Kyle & I have been to our fair share of Restaurants etc and love trying out new things and we were seriously impressed.

This branch is hidden on a cobbled street, just off the main road. It's probably a 5 minute walk away from Liverpool Street station. The interior of this place is amazing, I mean I kinda forgot to take pictures of the interior but it really is great. The furniture is quirky and vintage. We were seated next to a massive old television with a Sega game-box placed next to it.

So, with the restaurant being called The Breakfast Club - as you can imagine the menu was absolutely filled with Breakfasty goodness. For drinks Kyle just went for a freshly squeezed Orange Juice and I went for a 'Green is Good' Smoothie, y'all know I love a Green Smoothie and it was super lovely. Food wise - Kyle opted for the All American and I went for the Berry Pancakes with Maple Syrup & Vanilla Cream. No word of a lie, my Pancakes were the nicest things I have ever tried. I am gonna dream about them Pancakes until another Breakfast Club is within my reach, man they were heaven on a plate, yum. From what I can gather from Kyle, his All American was pretty top notch as well. Overall we both seriously rated it and would urge anyone who is going to London for an early start to pop by and chow down there.
