This was the most divine smoothie; I made it partly be experimenting but also because I wanted something creamy and fruity, and this ticked all the boxes and filled me up for my morning. It’s also great post-workout because of the protein in the milled flax seeds, cashew nuts, almond butter and hemp seeds but, as well as a zesty kick, you pack in essential fats and carbs – and all the flavours compliment each other to ensure every mouthful has a beautiful after taste!
It’s easy to make, no prep necessary; simply blend:
- 20g cashew nuts
- 35g mixed berries (whether that’s blueberries, raspberries or strawberries)
- 2 tsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp milled flax seeds – breaking down flax seeds ensures the protein is released
- 1 tbsp oats
- 2 tbsp hulled hemp seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla powder
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 50ml coconut water
- 250ml water (depending on how thick you like it)
- Ice for it to be nicely chilled
Once it’s totally smooth, transfer it into a glass and enjoy this bold, fruity flavour! It’s refreshing, delicious and the perfect way to start the day!
