Happy Monday y’all! I hope you are all having a good one.
You have probably noticed that I have been playing around with the blog a little today. I thought that it needed a little bit of a spruce up and since I have been doing a spot of Spring cleaning in my house of late I thought it would be nice to extend it to the blog too. So far I have changed the theme and produced a new header. There is still a lot of improvements that I want to do, but I quite like Celery and Cupcakes new look.
So all last week I was taking part of the Green Smoothie Challenge, which meant the consumption of seven smoothies over seven days. I got involved with this last time and loved it. Although eating all of those smoothies is never such a challenge for me as I love them so much.
Like last time I have put together a round up post of all of my smoothies and recipes to share with you all.

Cookies and Berries: spinach, coconut milk, mixed frozen berries, a banana, ice, water, strawberry hemp protein powder topped with a Cookie Exchange cookie and sunflower seeds.
This time around I decided to mix things up with smoothies that included super foods, some that did not, sweeter protein powders and didn’t add any gums. I loved them all and have loved experimenting with frozen berries, such a versatile product.
To read about all about the health benefits of green smoothies, alkalinity and why I love them so much you can read it all in my previous recap post here.
How do you like your smoothies: green or just fruity?
What is your favourite smoothie combination?
I love my smoothies green! It doesn’t compromise the taste and ups the nutritional value like crazy 🙂
Loving the new blog look so far!
Thank you! I’m still playing around with it. 😀
Ooh, yummy! This is so encouraging! Glad to hear you enjoyed the challenge 🙂

I loved it!
Those all look great, thanks for taking part in the challenge!
It was really fun, such a fab idea!
I just recently started adding spinach to my smoothies, I was too scared for the longest time. But you really cannot taste it as I thought you would! They are so healthy packed and delicious! Can’t wait to try some of these concoctions out!
I was exactly the same at first, but now it’s just so normal for me. 😀
YUM! They all look so good! 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
They all sound lovely. I did like green smoothies when I tried them, but I prefer to eat spinach with dinner, so I tend to leave them fruity when I have them.
Thanks! I love spinach both ways, but fruity smoothies are gorgeous too. 😀
I always add spinach to my smoothie for an extra hit of green to add to my day and they are always packed with fruit too : )
That is my favourite way to eat them! 😀
Lovely looking smoothies! Green smoothies are definitely my favourite. I like simple ones like nut milk, banana, kiwi, spinach. Yummy!
Love the new header and theme, looks fantastic 🙂
Your smoothies all look and sound delicious, I particularly like the look of the Pear and Berries one and the Berries and Chocolate one!
I add greens sometimes, when I feel I need that added kick. I do like really fruity smoothies too though. Basically, I just adore smoothies full stop!
