Banaberry smoothie
This smoothie packs a nutritional punch- rich in fibre, potassium, protein, magnesium and antioxidants, this will set you up well and truly for the day.
Serves: 1
Prep time: 5mins
Ingredients
Method
1. Put the milk in first, then add the remaining ingredients and blend.
2. If you're feeling extra tricky, you can soak the chia seeds overnight in some milk or water so they can expand.... they can absorb up to 10 times their weight in water!
I like to add chia seeds at the very end so they don't break up too much. Just pop them in after you've whizzed up the rest of the ingredients and then whizz for a couple of seconds just so they mix in.
3. Top with a few frozen berries or sprinkle with cinnamon.
*Added optionals
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp maca powder
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp raw cacao powder
