Not being assed to cook is more or less my constant state of being, if I’m honest. If there are more than three steps in the method then it’s more work than I can motivate myself to jump on.

This is why I love some smoothie action. It’s a step above working my way through the entire yogurt tub (which, yes, is a thing I do for lazy dinner sometimes), is healthy (so you can still pat yourself on the back for being wholesome) and still only requires minimal effort. Bingo, mates.

Feeling my sentiments? Then please enjoy these equally tasty and easy smoothie recipes to whip up next time you’re being a lazy binch.

Method

  1. Chuck it all in a blender and whizz until it’s smooth.
  2. If you’re feeling fancy you can add a sprinkle of pumpkin spice, cinnamon sticks and mint leaves on top.
