Delicious & Healthy Raspberry Smoothie
Smoothies are a great, tasty way to fill yourself up without reaching for those chocolate biscuits or feeling guilty about snacking between meals. The first thing you need is a blender, and the second thing is the ingredients. Once you have these, you are most of the way there and it is simply a case of putting it all together and mixing it up. To make a deliciously summery, fruity smoothie, the essentials that you will need are a handful of strawberries, a banana, some apple juice and some plain yoghurt. Of course, you can add more fruit, such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, basically the more the better.

Here is my pick of the best tall office chairs available online:

I have a fear of Jumpsuits, this all started when I was 12 and my mother made me wear a hand me down beige cordurory jumpsuit decorated with what can only be described as floral carpet type piping to a classmates birthday party, it was way too short and in my effort at rebellion I insisted on wearing pink runners with it. Needless to say I came in for a lot of mockery that day.
20 years later and I’ve finally decided that this is the year I’m going to get over my fear and wear a jumpsuit once again, but sans the pink runners this time….
