Avocado and Mango Smoothie

Green smoothies look alien but taste amazing as well as being really good for you. 

Blend 1/2 an avocado 
1/2 a mango 
A handful of spinach 
1/4 of a cucumber 
A sprinkle of chia seeds 
A splash of Apple juice 



This green smoothie is made sweet with the mango and the avocado gives it a nutty taste and creamy texture. 

Chili Con Veggie

One of my best friends is a veggie so although I'm a massive meat eater I've eaten my fair share of veggie meals over the years. 

For the chili con veggie
Dice one pepper, one courgette, an onion and mushrooms and fry in a little chili oil with garlic and herbs and extra chili if you like it hot. Once sweated add in some Quorn mince and continue to cook for a few minutes. 
Add a tin of tomatoes and a squirt of tomato purée, I also add a splash of soy sauce for flavour. 
Add in a tin of kidney beans or mixed beans and let simmer for 20-30 minutes. 

Serve with salad and or brown rice and a dollop of yogurt to garnish. 


If you aren't a fan of Quorn just add in extra veggies and beans.
