Why Smoothies Are Here To Stay

If a smoothie is made properly, smoothies condense large amounts of fruits and vegetables into one compact and very tasty drink. Just one go-to smoothie recipe won’t do, though. Plants are most nutrient-dense at peak season. So when putting together a smoothie, try to use the freshest ingredients available now. When something is in season, it packs the healthiest punch.

 

Our favourite smoothie recipe is for a breakfast smoothie. I am not usually a breakfast person, so a smoothie is perfect for mornings on the go.

1 small frozen banana

1 cup milk, almond milk or coconut water

2 tablespoons Greek, plain or organic yoghurt

1 teaspoon chia seeds

1/3 cup oats

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Protein powder of choice. We prefer Naked Whey Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder.

Combine all the ingredients into your processor. Blend until smooth and creamy (if you have a Nutribullet, it should take about 30 seconds. Don’t mix it too long or it will start to heat up). Serve immediately and enjoy.
