As I’ve mentioned before, my life is fairly busy. I spend an awful lot of time rushing from A to B and trying to fit just one more hour into the (infuriatingly short) day. As a result of all of this charging about, I often end up eating on the go and bolting down a quick snack here and there. I don’t know about you, but I loathe this kind of ‘speed feeding’; invariably it means you’re munching on something you don’t really like or want, and which is doing nothing for your figure. Enter the smoothie: I just love them. These filling, fruity concoctions are easy to make, packed with nutrients and – best of all – very quick and portable. To help you to make your own, I thought I’d share my 8 steps to a home-made smoothie: enjoy.

1. First Things First

Before we get going with the step by step guide to a delicious smoothie, let’s consider the kind of appliance you’re going to need in your kitchen. While the jug blender – also called a ‘smoothie machine’ – is the most popular food processor for this kind of task, you can use a variety of other kitchen implements. A stick blender will work very well for example, as will a standard processor or, for that matter, a hand operated ‘shaker’ cup.
