This thick, creamy smoothie is fulfilling, satisfying and energising so therefore the perfect way to start the day. In about 5 minutes you will have a cup full of delicious goodness ready to sip on-the-go or to enjoy sat with your feet up reading The Sunday Telegraph. It really is that quick to make and will fill you up better than any bland bowl of plain porridge. All the ingredients I use should be available in your local supermarket as that's where I found mine, so there's no need to go to the local overpriced health shop. This smoothie is packed with goodness from the banana and blueberries. Blueberries are in fact the best foods to eat for good skin due to their high number of anti-oxidants! This smoothie contains no milk as I used my favourite alpro soya yoghurt and water instead. Surprisingly, I found that although I used water, the beautiful thick, creamy texture wasn't effected due to the natural sweetness of banana and the thickness of the oats. If you prefer your smoothies being slightly sweeter than this one, I recommend you either add 2 medjool dates or one dessert spoon of pure maple syrup. Ingredients to hand, blender at the ready, let's go!
Makes 1 large glass or 2 medium glasses
1 sliced frozen banana
2 oz. (about 1 handful) of blueberries
3 dessert spoons of milled flaxseed
2 dessert spoons of fat free natural yoghurt
1 dessert spoon of cinnamon (I love cinnamon so put lots in!)
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of organic oats
2 medjool dates or 1 dessert spoon of pure maple syrup (optional)
Method
- Simply blend all the ingredients together until smooth. If you prefer your smoothies a little runnier, just add a dash of milk or water!
Have a beautiful day.
