The Russell Hobbs Jug Blender, a Recipe and WIN with #RHMoments

I recently teamed with Russell Hobbs to review a few of their fantastic products, and try out a few recipes for my little family. We’re all about health right now, so I tried to create something that is as nutritious as it is delicious. Before I get on to that: DID YOU KNOW that you can WIN a trip to London, Paris or Rome worth R200 000 and over R100 000 worth of INSANT prizes with Russell Hobbs? Details here. —-> Get in on that!

Anyway… Bananas are incredibly good for us. Eating bananas aids digestion, lowers our blood pressure and helps our bodies combat cancer and asthma. Bananas contain Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Iron, Potassium, Protein and Dietary Fiber. Read more on the health benefits of bananas here. This recipe also contains Plain Yoghurt and Apple juice which also contain dozens of vitamins and minerals that feeds our bodies with the good stuff.

The Russell Hobbs Jug Blender is extremely good quality. The glass jug is hygienic and surprisingly easy to clean and maintain. It also has added safety features which ensures that curious little fingers can’t get hurt. It simply won’t switch on if all the locks aren’t in place and if the contents aren’t properly contained. I especially love the Ice Crush feature and of course the Pulse button to really mix it all up! You can view more Russell Hobbs products on their website.

Today I made a Banana and Nutella Smoothie for the boys and it was… Incredible. I’m not a professional chef, but I’ve been making these for quite a while, so this recipe is absolutely easy and fool-proof for a delicious and healthy treat that will impress the socks off your kids.

Ingredients:

1 Cup ripe bananas, sliced. 1/2 Cup plain yoghurt. 1/2 Cup apple juice. 1 Tbsp Honey. 1 Tbsp Nutella. 4 Blocks ice.

Method:

Chuck it all in to the blender. I put mine on 3, pulsed it all together a bit, and used the Ice Crusher button for a few seconds to really get in there! It all blends for about 2 minutes.

Results:

This recipe makes 2 medium sized glasses of smoothie. Double up the recipe for the whole family! It really is delicious and smooth, not to mention healthy!
