SMOOTH OPERATOR: For healthy chilled drinks, the Breville Blend Active machine maker is perfect for mess-free smoothies and it’s down from £29.99 to £18 on Amazon.
It’s got two portable bottles which you blend the ingredients in and then detach to drink from, saving on washing up.
Chuck equal quantities of frozen fruit and whichever type of milk you prefer into the blender and blitz.
If you’ve got a standard blender you’ll need to let the fruit defrost first as ice can break the mechanism.
