Review: Breville Blend Active

Before we go any further I want to make it clear this is not a sponsored review I bought this product with my own money to review for you guys.
Recently I have been seeing this blender on various YouTube videos and was curious to see if it was any good.
I have tried various blenders for example the Kenwood smoothie to go, Blentec, Russle Hobbs Blender and a Lakeland Blender.
All good for different thing but this time I was looking for a easy clean, quic and simple blender. I also wanted it strong enough to blend ice.

So I paid £20 for this blender as it was in the Argos sale, however I only got 1 cup with it there are various pack with 2 or even 4 cups for a higher price.

So to test it out I made myself a green smoothie.
What i put in it:-
5 large pieces of ice
1 1/2 handfuls of frozen berries
1 banana
Milk
1 handful of British green leaves
1 tbsp peanut butter

The blend active had no problem blending it into a nice smooth consistency. The only thing I was left with was the seeds from the berries which I expected as its difficult to find a blender that will totally blitz the seeds.

Only having 4 pieces, the motor, the blade, the cup and the cup lid it is easy to store nd very easy to clean.

Overall I am very pleased with this blender it is up there with the £300 blentec. Definitely worth buying.

Weight Gain/Body Changes......

So after you have a baby loosing weight is really difficult. My son is now 2 months and 3 weeks old but I am still gaining so much weight. I thought it would be easy to loose all the weight I gained during pregnancy. When you are going through pregnancy your body is out through so much and takes ages to repair itself.
I walk my dog twice a day I am up and down like a yoyo dealing with Leland and doing housework so I can't understand where I am going wrong.
So today I decided it was time to make more of an effort to try loose weight because it is affecting me in more ways than my clothes being tight, I have very little confidence to go places on my own and I feel like everyone will look at me and think I'm fat.
Today was the start of healthy eating we had hot chorizo salad. A combination of grapes mushrooms, chorizo, caramelised onion chutney, balsamic glaze and salad leads.

Its a pretty simple and quick recipe.

Final outcome!

Fingers crossed I can shift this weight so I can marry Joe next year when I get my confidence back.

Tomorrows a new day and a new start for exercise and healthy eating.
