Very cherry!

Again, on the weekend, I was gifted a bag of cherries from our girl's lovely old Italian neighbour.  Instead of just eating them, I decided to process them but I can't say anymore on that just now...

~

Secret Santa stuff, you know!

~

It took forever to pip them!

~

~

Yummy, yummy!

~

~

My good old, go to juice recipe - apple, orange, carrot, celery and beetroot...

~

My banana smoothie which I have at about 8.30am with 1 tspn honey, 2 medjool dates, cacao and maca powder with almond coconut milk - it was delicious but contains too much sweetness to be good for me. I revised it today and its much better.

~

Thick and filling...
~

A meal in a glass!

~

I thought it was time I got organised with my sister presents and I found this fabric which will help me finish the gifts...

~

I'd better get going with them!

~

I put more carrot in this morning's juice and yes, I know there should be greens in there but I'm not a big fan of the taste.  I willstart experimenting with my bullet soon.

~

Now, my smoothie makeover - I had a bit of left over fruit salad (melon, pineapple, watermelon) so that went in, a big banana, cacao and maca powder and 1 medjool date.  I have decided almond milk is not for me - its expensive and I could care less about the flavour so I just used my regular no fat milk which has .25gms total fat per 250ml serve or .10gms per 100mls. We've been using this for years.

~

I also left out the honey as the date makes it quite sweet enough...

~

A delicious glass of goodies to keep me going until midday...

~

I have also cut my coffee and tea consumption right down.  Maybe one coffee during the day and a cup of tea before bed.

~

What's on the agenda for you today? I'm off to work as usual after doing a few jobs here first...
