Good morning you lovely lot!!

So today’s recipe is a little bit different….

With Ireland’s May 22nd Marriage Equality Referendum just a few weeks away, I’ve been voicing my support for the YES vote as much as possible. So why not also do it through one of my favourite things… food!! More specifically, through this healthy and delicious Yes Equality Rainbow Smoothie 🙂

Yes Rainbow Smoothie

Like so many other people, it’s of the utmost importance to me that Ireland votes Yes for marriage equality next month. Everybody deserves to be happy, and I don’t believe that the decision to marry should be anybody else’s but theirs.

I got married almost a year ago and wish we’d done it years ago!! It’s pretty awesome to be able to hang out with your best friend all day and for it to be recognised by law 🙂

I have plenty of friends in same-sex relationships, and all I want is to see them able to stand up in front of their friends and family, as we did, and show the world that they’re committing to their partner for life.

It’s also about progress for Ireland and full acceptance of everybody as equal humans, whatever their sexual orientation.

Yes Rainbow Smoothie

For this smoothie, I used blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, banana, grapes, pineapple, spinach and pineapple! 

Berries are like nature’s candy, presented in a nutritionally perfect package. They’re so full of goodness thanks to their high levels of antioxidants and vitamin C, that a cup a day can really help to keep sniffles and flues at bay, while protecting our skin from premature ageing. They also taste delicious, especially when frozen and blended as in this smoothie.
