Throughout the month of May and pre-exam period I've been consuming a lot of junk. By junk I mean, you know, those "pleasure" foods like chocolate. Due to a lot of tremendous stress, my hormones (isn't this the only reason for the things that teenagers do?) were kicking in and my only appetite was junk food.
After my exams were over, I came to a moment of realisation that eating junk would not benefit me in any way. It actually has more disadvantages than advantages. Therefore, I decided to turn my life around. Or rather, what I consume around.
Finding what is healthy and what I like is not as easy. I am very picky when it comes to food, if it's a little bit too salty or too sweet for my liking, I tend to not eat it and say things such as "ew" or "this taste like cow poo" or even "How can someone be so horrible to make such things for people to consume". Yes, as you can see, they may be slightly offensive.
That was before I realised that things such as smoothies and juices do exist. And they are healthy. And I love them. Since then, I would change my unhealthy breakfast to only having about a cup of healthy smoothies. (No more coffees!)
Here are some of my favourite morning smoothies/juices and their recipes. Not only that they are healthy, they also taste great and are very addictive! Yes, you do have to get up and get your fruits out of your freezer, or out of the fridge and chop them off into tiny pieces, but I guarantee you, it is worth it!

The "Not so great in colour" smoothie is what I call this one
The reason for its' name is because I am so bad at coming up with a good one.
Servings: 2
2 frozen bananas
a handful of blueberries (can be frozen)
1 almost ripe avocado
water
Blend all together!
The pinkalicous
Servings: 2
2 frozen bananas
a handful of cranberries
2 tablespoons of plain yoghurt of your choice
water
Blend all together!
The Green Smoothie
Servings: 2
2 frozen bananas
a handful of mint leaves
2 cucumber chopped into pieces
1 cup of lemon juice
You can add some water if you want it to be a little bit more water-like, although for me, I prefer it to be as thick as possible!
Blend it all together!
