Picking up strawberries at the local Noosa Farmers Market<\/figcaption><\/figure>We just love strawberries. How something so natural, can be so vibrantly coloured and taste so sweet\u00a0is just\u00a0an outstanding\u00a0feat of nature. The\u00a0 combination of bright red shiny flesh with contrasting\u00a0strong green leaves\u00a0perched on top\u00a0is just stunning to me. The Chef loves the\u00a0heady fragrance of strawberries that waft through the kitchen\u00a0while he reduces them\u00a0down on the stove with a hint of vanilla and honey, into an umptous\u00a0compote.<\/p>\n

My lovely, stylish friend from Nineteen Seventy Seven blog<\/a>, arrives at work each day with her morning smoothie in a delightfully cute glass jar. Now, if a cute jar (such a novelty) doesn’t make you want to whip\u00a0up a juicy smoothie, I don’t know what will. If you are trying to make an effort to eat more fruit, I would suggest not only incorporating smoothies into your day, but in a cute glass jar to make it a bit of fun. Perfect for kiddies, and if you add something colourful such as these pretty straws, I bet the kids will be begging you for a healthy smoothie each day!<\/p>\n

And a little tip: Pour this mixture into icypole moulds for a healthy snack.<\/p>\n

Here is my guide for Strawberry Surprise Smoothies. You know me by now, I like to encourage a bit of experimentation so it is a ‘guide’ only. Get creative, have some fun and see what combinations you can come up with. As usual,\u00a0I’ll provide some nutrition information towards the end.<\/p>\n
