Pineapple Surprise Smoothie

As we all know, people around the world are confined to their own homes. I'm finding it particularly difficult to continue with my weight loss and continue a healthy lifestyle. Especially whilst trying to exercise, eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day and work efficiently, all whilst remaining in the same space. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one struggling to adhere to a new daily routine and it is why I decided to kick-start my day with a fruit and vegetable packed smoothie. For the past 2 weeks, I have been making them every morning for myself and my sister, who is an all-round vegetable hater. She only discovered yesterday the "surprise" ingredients of added carrot and celery to every single one of them and could not believe how I had got away with it ! Try this smoothie for yourself and I guarantee you will not be disappointed !

Ingredients

Makes 2 cups

• Half a cup full of crushed ice (or 1 full cup of ice cubes)
• Half a cup of pineapple juice
• 1 apple, peeled and cored
• 1 carrot, peeled and chopped in 3
• 1 stick of celery (roughly the same length as the carrot)
• Juice of half a lemon (or a whole small lemon)
• 1 sprig of rosemary (optional)

Method

• In a blender, add the pineapple juice, crushed ice, and apple and vegetables on top.
• Blitz on medium for a couple of minutes, then high for 3 minutes.

Assembling

• Pour your smoothie into both cups.
• Or pour it into a cocktail glass for a fancier looking smoothie.
• Add a sprig of rosemary and mix (optional)
  
  Enjoy :)

Tips :
This recipe is pretty versatile, you can substitute all of the ingredients !
I find using your serving cups as a way of measuring the ingredients means there is no leftover waste.
