We made it through The Boss's birthday last week. I say "made it through" because there were a few different celebrations, various treats, and it suddenly dawned on me that our normally healthy diet had morphed into the Saturday page of
The Very Hungry Caterpillar. By lunchtime on day five of being five, she turned to me with a pained face and, like said caterpillar, moaned "Mummy, I've got a tummy ache". She opted only to eat cucumber dipped in hummus for the rest of the day, and I decided it was time for a homestyle detox, using whatever ingredients I had to hand.
So my photo for this week's p52 is more a demonstration of food over photography, nutrition over composition, diet over dof. If your tummy needs the afternoon off, this might be just the job.
makes about 400-500ml of thick smoothie:
125g blueberries
10 strawberries
1 mango
1 sprig of mint
1 large scoop natural yoghurt
1 handful mixed nuts
Blitz in the liquidiser and drink up!
Yum! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot! You can almost smell the berries! Looks really yummy too!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so yummy! Great pic!
ReplyDeleteYummy smoothie! I'm really hot right now so that looks really good.
ReplyDeleteMmmm... Your smoothie recipe sounds delicious! And nice job on photographing the finished product!
ReplyDeleteNuts? I would never have thought to add them! I will have to try that. Great colors!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really yummy looking smoothie.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds (and looks) very tasty :)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious and I bet it tastes even better :)
ReplyDeleteSmoothie recipe, is fantastic I totally want to try it, I love the colour, and the blue glass, against the bright berries, beautiful. Looks soooooo good.
ReplyDeleteI make homemade smoothies, too, but I have never thought of putting nuts into it. Great idea. Yummy photo, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteLove the vibrant colors and the smoothies look delicious.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! I've never tried nuts in a smoothie, but it makes perfect sense and probably adds some subtle flavour.
ReplyDeleteOh delish! I love, love smoothies - and miss them since moving to our Oxford rental, with no blender. Your photo is making me think of getting one for our stay here. Ever tried flax seeds? Or spinach in your smoothies? I know it doesn't sound good, but you'll never taste it and it's so good for you!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of your smoothie and the glasses and the composition. Your pictures look so great on that white counter. Really neat lighting.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright, vibrant colours. I meant to join in this week - must do better next week. I love all your photos with white background and the intense light.
