Somehow I ended up having about 50 lemons in my fridge so I thought to make some fresh squeezed lemonade. I didn’t want anything plain, as usually for breakfast I enjoy rich smoothies, so I decided to add some strawberries as well. This is a very refreshing lemonade, especially for a hot summer day.

I thought to combine my most favorite things to make a smoothie. Or better I should say a milkshake. Cause my non vegan friend said that this is better than the regular chocolate milkshake she usually gets at our favorite cafe. Well, of course it is…
Let me tell you that I have a thing for frozen bananas. I eat tones of bananas. I use them in smoothies, desserts, oatmeal, cakes, fruit salads and more. I also have a thing for peanut butter. I remember the first time I tasted peanut butter. I didn’t care about it at all. But it grew on me and now I can’t live without it. Peanut butter is ridiculous expensive here in Greece. It actually costs me less to order in from ebay (including the shipping cost). Makes no sense… right? But oh well… And of course cocoa! Who doesn’t love cocoa? All these combined with your favorite non dairy milk. Slurp! Just a few more days of summer…

I’ve been home alone for the past few days and without Sean at home I am not really in mood to cook. So I live on smoothies. And hummus. I even had hummus with crackers for breakfast but that’s a whole another story. Garlicky hummus for breakfast is a no no. Don’t do it! Anyway, these are three of my favorite smoothies. I use frozen fruits in order to enjoy them cold as I don’t like adding ice cubes in my smoothies and shakes.
