Office Smoothie

I find it a real challenge to eat fruit. Despite living in Melbourne where we have a wealth of fresh fruit, I am not someone who has a habit of having fruit in my diet. Also, getting braces in my teeth and other attachments, I decided to make it easier for myself and make smoothies in my afternoon tea break.
1. To give me a boost to get me through the afternoon
2. To incorporate fruit in my diet

I know the last two smoothies in my instagram account included yoghurt, however most of the time I only have the fruit and some water to keep it all natural and raw.

So how do I do this in the office?

On my visit through a local department store, I saw a blender with a sports drink attachement for $15. It was cheaper than other types of smoothie blenders so I decided to give it a try. I store it in my bottom drawer in my workstation and every day at 3pm I take it into the kitchen where I have frozen berries in the freezer and pineapple that I cut up in portions and place in a bag in the freezer. I then bring a banana, kiwi fruit or get any other piece of fruit from the supermarket and those are my ingredients.

It takes minutes to cut up and place in the blender and since you are using the same bottle to drink out of there is minimal washing up. The blender is still going after a year and others have jumped on the wagon - the more the merrier.

So if you want more fruit in your diet and you cannot find the time elsewhere, especially if you are a busy mum like myself, try the smoothie at 3pm. It works for me.
