You feeling really good throughout the day I must say! I have always enjoyed smoothies but traditionally for me, smoothies contained yoghurt or milk. I never thought of a smoothie just being made of fruit before. Over the past year and a bit I have realised my body doesn't appreciate dairy. So I have had to adjust to taking dairy out of my diet, which has been hard because while I can easily give up milk and yogurt, ice cream has been a big challenge. I do like chocolate but I can take it or leave it most of the time!!
I have embraced the almond milk, and will endeavour to make my own one of these days! I still consume cheese, but no where near as regularly as I once did. I will have it once a month if that and then I will be cranky with myself afterwards as I my body cramps up and responds to its presence in my system.
I have embraced the smoothies though and dairy free homemade ice creams, which I will also share with you.

YUM! I have just started having a smoothie each day. I have given up dairy and many other things. I'm always looking for new ideas as I'll need to get a variety so I don't get bored. The one I've been making has some RAW protein powder, some coconut water, some icecubes, mixed berries, 1 apple and a large handful of baby spinach leaves and it's delicious and fills me up! Look forward to trying your recipes :-)
Always great to find vegan recipes and alternatives! The watermelon recipe looks amazing!
