        Hello Alissa, thank you for stopping by and posting your comment, and for following my blog. I really appreciate that. 🙂 I've so many recipes that I've got, so I hope that as I post them you may find some favourites, and perhaps try them out. I've another "simple" smoothie coming in the next couple of weeks! So glad that you too are a firm believer in the 80/20 rule. Life's too short to restrict ourselves 100% of the time, I feel. Thanks again, and if you try any of my recipes, let me know how you get on. 🙂

      Love the banana smoothie.
      I changed the second one up a bit
      by adding coconut milk, no honey,
      garnished with coconut and cinnamon. Loved it!
