Smoothies
A fresh blended drink maintains its total fibre content and is, as such more filling.
Ingredients
Use a selection of fresh fruit eg bananas, pear; the fewer ‘bits’ the better. Ie use fresh orange juice, over orange segments, because of the pith (unless using a high-powered blender eg. Vita-Mix.
Vary the ingredients, add herbal root powders (optional) and enjoy fresh each morning (or for convenience, prepare the previous day and store chilled overnight.)
Optional:
- Protein powders to add in to a Smoothie – eg. Sun Warrior Blend with added Pea & Hemp seed Protein is Whey-free (dairy) and a little goes a long way.
- Add a tsp of Cacao or cocoa powder for a chocolate blend.
- A 1\4 tsp of any ground spice or herbal superfood powders eg. cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, maca, carob.
Method
1. Blend all your chosen ingredients together in a blender \ liquidiser jug, until light, frothy and creamy.
2. For added creaminess, add a fresh nut or seed milk (preferably) or chose from many of the carton dairy-free brands in Alpro Almond or Hazelnut Milk.
