Since we’ve lost the facility to bake cakes we’ve been replacing our dessert course with a nightly fruit smoothie. We’ve been doing a lot of experimenting and have discovered a few great combinations.
We put all the ingredients into a stainless steel jug and use a Philips ‘Billy’ blender to whizz the whole thing up in a jiffy! It’s much less of a faff to clean then if it’s done in a jug blender. And so much cheaper than if you buy it ready-made!
Just as delicious as a slab of cake, just a filling – but much friendlier on the waistline! Each recipe below makes two large glassfuls.
