Homemade fruit smoothies

With all this credit crunch situation at the moment we all need to start watching our money, and we need to look at how and where we can save money when doing our weekly / daily shopping.

If you buy fruit smoothie drinks on a daily basis you are no doubt spending a rather lot of money over a one month period, work it out exactly how much you are paying for them, you will be surprised.

My advice is that if you are buying fruit drinks and smoothies ready made then don’t! Buy yourself a standard smoothie maker, you don’t have to spend a fortune on a huge hi-tech machine, something simple will work just as good. Browse through the hundreds of free smoothie recipes here on flowercarole and then go to your local market / shops / supermarket and buy yourself the fruit you require (I usually buy enough fruit to make around 4-5 different types of smoothies which will last a few days). Then basically just get blending and making your own fruit smoothies, you will be surprised as how good they actually taste and they taste much fresher than the pre-made ones you used to buy in the shop. You are also helping to reduce waste, because there are no plastic bottles or cardboard cartons to dispose of, you just pour your delicious drink into your glass, easy!

So what are you waiting for? Start saving money today and make your own homemade smoothies, you won’t be stuck for a free recipe because we have every combination on our site – and they are all free to use!
