Who loves smoothies?!?! Well who doesn't, ey?
My friend Irene and I once came up with this amazingly brilliant diet where for seven days we would only consume fruit and veg - nothing else, no dressings or sugar or salt... We went out, bought a blender and vast amounts of fruits and vegetables and started the day with a strawberry and banana smoothie. Now that smoothie went down a treat and we thought yeah we can do this.
Oh who were we kidding, we lasted a whole five hours before we were plagued with the worst headaches and ended up devouring a giant portion of pasta. The tradition stuck though and throughout the whole time we lived together we met up for breakfast almost every day and had lots of yummy smoothie concoctions.
Now lets take the whole smoothie business to a different level and battle this hot weather with a fruity frappé. Yup a frappé that will make any Starbucks retreat in shame ;)
Enjoy,
Etta xo

Your diet story is hilarious! And this frappé looks delish, I love mixing strawberries with nectarines (it's what I eat with my oats every morning right now!).
