What Lara Did Next: recipe

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.

What is your favourite Smoothie Recipe?

Hey guys,

So recently I've been trying to promote an active lifestyle for myself AKA becoming obsessed with Alpro, Juicing, Smoothies, Peanut Butter and Pinterest Recipes. So when I saw the lovely Tanya Burr had uploaded a 'Healthy Brownie Recipe' I thought oh my goodness I need to try this recipe and after baking this recipe my self I thought I would share it with you all and let you know the verdict.

I won't ramble on and on about these Brownies because it wouldn't do justice so I will just let Tanya do the talking HERE.

I have however decided to upload a step by step tutorial on how to make the brownies so if you prefer to look at recipes rather than watching a video tutorial this might be a good bet for you. I will admit, I did have to change a couple of ingredients - purely because they just weren't available in my town.

I kid you not though people - these Brownies are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I mean, I've got the biggest sweet tooth in the world, I've tried a lot of brownies in my 19 years on this earth and these Brownies are genuinely the nicest Brownies I've ever had. The fact that they're fairly healthy/guilt free is such a bonus and probably a good job because I could eat these all day long. Credits to Tanya Burr for creating this absolutely lovely recipe. I hope you all enjoy them just as much as I did.

What you'll need
1/2 cup Coconut Oil
300g Dark Chocolate (Preferably Organic)
2 cups Coconut Sugar ( I had to use Brown Sugar as I couldn't get hold of any Coconut Sugar where I live)
cap full of Vanilla Extract
1 cup Ground Almonds ( I could only get Flaked almonds so I used half Flaked Almonds & Half Coconut Flakes)
1 mashed Avocado (Not as strange as it sounds, just adds thickness to the mixture)
1 tsp Baking Powder
3 Free Range Eggs

Cooking Time - 26 minutes at 180 Degrees
