    I'm buying a nutri bullet can anyone share and tasty recipes with me please,

    A simple one:

    250ml almond milk
    1 tbsp of chia seeds
    1 tbsp of cacao powder

    Blitz. Serve over ice.

    TBH, I just usually chuck in what I like :o most times 1/4 or 1/2 an avocado - you can't really taste it but makes it creamy. I avoid spinach, most people say they can't taste it but I can _pale_

    There are loads of ideas on pinterest.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Good morning all, cloudy one here but the sun is trying.

    Snap, hope your Dad is getting on OK, not a pleasant position to be in.

    As for you buying a nutribullet emerald, I always think you ought to be able to hire those things for a while first. Do you have someone you could borrow one off for a while? Just that we bought a smoothie maker once, never again. It was soooo expensive to run, and such a faff to clean! I know they are totally different, but they charge such a premium for all the fancy things like that!

    I've just read your signature eat less, move more! That needs to be my motto!
    I'm sure it was you that inspired me to do the 30 day shred did you used to do your e exercises out on your lawn?
    I must have been in the best physical condition then that I have ever been and I thought I was over weight then now I'm four stone heavier, couldn't do it now but I definitely need to start with something, running is out too.
    Any ideas you have would be greatly received I'm going on holiday in five weeks and would love to shift a bit before then :(

    Hi well it's £70 instead of £100 and with me and my citric acid business I thought I could do some things in one of those . I do have a basic blender thing but doesn t pulverise the ingredients enough so leaves lumps of strawberries and banana at the bottom lol. Hubby does the dishes lol it keeps his fingers moving :)

    Do you know how to boot into safe mode? If you do it takes out all but the most basic drivers, so if it still comes up in safe mode chances are your monitor is dying.

    To boot into safe mode press F8 on startup.

    If it comes up without the green line then you need to reinstall your graphics card software. If the green line is still there there is a strong chance you need to replace the monitor.

    I would also suggest that you post on the techy board, I only have very basic knowledge about this sort of thing.
