Home made Veggie Juice & Smoothies

Ready to Rock and Roll

In an attempt to lose weight, I have started drinking home made smoothies and veggie juice.  I have had a juicer for a couple of years but never really used it much.  I must say that I love my veggie juice now.  It's divine.  Below are some of the smoothies and juices I have been making.

Banana & Mango Bread


I decided to make my Noo’s some Banana Bread earlier today.  I also had a couple of over ripe Mangos and, instead of throwing them out, I decided to use them aswell.  I think they worked well together and the Mango made it really moist which was nice.
