SUMMERTIME AND THE LIVING IS EASY

I'm at the beach on my Summer holidays and enjoying lots of long walks, swimming and kayaking. I love having so much spare time on my hands it allows me be a lot more creative with my food preparation. Here's a smoothie recipe I had forgotten about for years and it's on of my favourites.

The main ingredient is avocado which is an amazing fruit and in my opinion badly overlooked considering it's amazing health benefits not to mention it's creamy yumminess.
Avocado is really rich in carotenoids and essential fatty acids. It also contains vitamin C, vitamin K and folic acid.It has anti-inflammatory properties as a result of the phytosterols,antioxidents and omega 3 fatty acids.

GREEN GODDESS SMOOTHIE

1 avocado

100ml coconut milk

1tsp. vanilla extract

1tsp rose water

1tsp. honey

Place all the ingredients into a blender and blend until it's a rich creamy consistency.I love the creaminess of this smoothie if you use all the ingredients from the fridge it's almost like an ice cream.The decadence of using rose water and vanilla extract in the same smoothie makes it the perfect for a holiday treat.

I use Flourish Organics rose mist toner so not only am I getting the best quality organic rose water but also the benefits of Mulla Mulla flower and Shea Oak flower essence. Add more honey if you want a sweeter taste and if you can use vanilla extract rather than essence as it makes a big difference to the flavour.

Nothing like ending a day with a walk on the beach and turning the corner to witness this beautiful sunset; on days like these I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world.
