Step 1- Wash and prepare your Fruit and Veg!
Step 2- Pop all of the 'Orange' Ingredients into your Blender, whizz up and pour into your Favourite glass.
Step 3- Whizz up all of the Green ingredients until smooth, Spoon out and dollop ontop. Finish off with a nice straw and Carrot stalk.
This smoothie is perfect in the morning to give you a Boost! Its very tasty, and flavourful.

Easter (Dairy-free) Nests!
Ingredients-
-3 Wholegrain Puffed rice ( I used Kallo which i found at Sainsburys in the Free From section, but you could always use Rice crispies)
-Dairy-free Chocolate ( I used 2 large original Moo free Bars)
-HoneyComb pieces ( you can find these in the baking section at a Supermarket)
For the Eggs
-1/2 a Cup of Oats (I used Gluten-free)
-1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil
-1/2 a Cup of Ground Almonds
-1 Tablespoon of Almond Butter
-2 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup
Step 1- Get a Sauce pan out and full it half way, then pop a bowl ontop ( this is to make a Banmarie). Make sure its on a low heat, we don't want to burn anything!
Step 2- Break up the Chocolate and place it into the bowl, making sure you use a Wooden spoon to Stir. Wait until its melted.
(try not to lick the spoon...its difficult but we need all of the Chocolate for the Nests)
Step 3- Once the Chocolate is melted, carefully take the bowl off the Heat and pour the Chocolate into a Large Mixing Bowl, the pour in your Rice Crispies until its all combined and Covered in the tempting Chocolate!
Niomi didn't do this, but i actually added in some HoneyComb Pieces, just to add more flavour and Crunch into the Nests! yum
Step 4- Line a Muffin tin with Cases, and carefully spoon in your Mixture. Make sure you make a well in the middle of the nest...thats where your lovely little Cookie dough Eggs will be :)
Once you have made the Nest's, pop them in the Fridge for about 30-50 minutes to completely set!
To make the cute little Eggs-
Step 1- Get out a Sauce Pan, and spoon in 2 Tablespoons of Coconut oil. It only takes about a minute to melt.
Step 2- In a Mixing Bowl, mix together the Maple Syrup, Almond Butter and the Melted Coconut Oil.
Step 3- In a Blender, whizz up 1/2 a cup of Oats ( this just powders the Oats making them smooth so you don't have hard Oat chunks in the Eggs)
Step 4- Pour the Powdered Oats and Ground Almonds into the Mixture and mix until Smooth.
I added in Poppy seeds (this is optional)
Step 5- This is where it gets messy!
With your hands, grab a small amount of the mixture, and roll into a Egg shape! ( it gets easier the more and more you do it)
Step 6- When you have used up all of the mixture, pop the Eggs into the Fridge with the Nests, and leave for 10 more minutes.
Step 7- When the Nests & Eggs are set, take them out of the Fridge and make them look super cute in a Easter Basket or Plate...serve up and Enjoy!!! :)
