RAW Food Quest leads to delicious Smoothies!

On this RAW Food Quest, we got into Smoothies - I love Smoothies.  It's a super quick way to non-cook and enjoy combinations of different fruits and vegetables that keep hunger at bay, increase your energy levels and health.

I started out in the beginning by having Smoothies when I got indoors after work.  Popping fruit and veg into a blender with a cup or so of water for a delicious sustaining drink, ready in less than five minutes.  But then I noticed I had loads more energy in the evenings.

Life before Smoothies: I would collapse exhausted in front of the TV for the evening and then trundle off to bed. 
Life after a few weeks of Smoothies:   more energy - I'm even doing a Blog! 

Now we have Smoothies in the morning as well as the evenings and it's such fun trying out different combinations of fruit and veg - absolutely delicious (although a few combinations were definitely not moreish!)

This evening Harrington made a smoothie using beetroot which gave the drink the most gorgeous colour and tasted as good as it looked.  Here's our Recipe:

Crimson Blood Infusion

Half a pineapple (peel and cut up into small pieces)
1 Beetroot (peel and slice finely)
1 Passion Fruit
1 Cup of Water
A sprinkle of Bee Pollen


Put into a blender and whizz up the mixture for a minute or so.  Pour into glasses and Enjoy!


We get our excellent quality Bee Pollen from Peter and Beryn Daniel    - their website is http://www.soaringfree.co.uk/
