Description
🍓 Bursting with antioxidants from berries and potassium from banana, this smoothie supercharges your morning with vitamins and energy!
🍌 Creamy, filling, and ready in minutes, it’s a healthy, protein-packed breakfast perfect for busy days or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients
– 1/2 mug, about 75g frozen berries for cold, thick texture and fresh fruit taste
– 1 medium ripe banana for natural sweetness and smooth, creamy texture
– 2 tablespoons jumbo oats, gluten-free if required for body and making more filling
– 2 heaped teaspoons no-added-sugar cashew nut butter for richness, healthy fats, and soft nutty flavor
– 2 teaspoons mixed seeds such as sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, and flax for crunch, fibre, and extra nutrients
– 1 mug, about 250ml milk alternative such as soya or almond for blending everything together and dairy-free
Instructions
1-First step: get everything ready Measure out the frozen berries, banana, oats, cashew nut butter, mixed seeds, and milk alternative. If you are making the smoothie in the morning, you can set everything out the night before. This makes the process faster and helps you avoid missing an ingredient.
2-Second step: add the ingredients to the blender Put the frozen berries into the blender first. Add the ripe banana, jumbo oats, cashew nut butter, mixed seeds, and milk alternative on top. Adding the liquid last can help the blender move more easily at the start.
3-Third step: blend until thick and smooth Blend on high speed until the mixture looks thick, smooth, and fully combined. If your blender needs help, stop once or twice and push the ingredients down from the sides. This usually takes less than a minute, depending on the blender.
4-Fourth step: check the texture Taste the smoothie and check the thickness. If you want it thinner, add a small splash more milk alternative and blend again. If you want it thicker, add a few more frozen berries or a little extra oat.
5-Final step: pour and serve Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses and serve right away. The recipe serves 2 and is best when fresh. If you want a chilled finish, use very cold milk alternative or keep the fruit frozen until blending.
Notes
🥛 Opt for higher protein soya milk to increase the protein content for better satiety.
🍓 Swap berries for other fruits or add spinach for extra greens and variety.
🍌 Choose a riper banana for natural sweetness, or substitute with Greek yogurt and honey if preferred.
