A berry smoothie is a colourful option for a warm morning or an afternoon snack. This version keeps the fruit, greens and nut butter from Emily's archive recipe, with the supplement powder and MCT oil left out.
Choose the milk and toppings you enjoy. There is no need to buy a specialist powder to make the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened milk or a suitable alternative
- A small handful of frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon frozen acai, optional
- ½ frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1 tablespoon almond or macadamia butter
- A handful of spinach or kale, washed
- A pinch of cinnamon
- Chia seeds or fresh fruit, to serve if you like
Method
- Add the milk, blueberries, banana, optional acai, hemp seeds, nut butter and greens to a blender.
- Blend until smooth, adding a little more liquid if needed.
- Pour into a glass and add cinnamon and your chosen toppings.
For a smaller drink, halve the ingredients. Adjust the texture to suit your blender; a thick mixture may need another splash of milk.
A few practical notes
This version contains nuts; milk and other alternatives have different ingredients, so check labels against your own dietary needs. Follow any preparation instructions on frozen fruit packaging. Keep perishable ingredients chilled and refrigerate promptly if not serving straightaway. Healthdirect — Food safety.
A varied eating pattern includes foods across the five food groups. A smoothie is one food choice within that pattern, rather than a complete plan for your health. Healthdirect — A balanced diet.
