Whipping up a creamy and delicious smoothie with nutritious ingredients takes less time than putting together a cooked breakfast or preparing muesli or porridge and smoothies are far more nutritious than toast. It's the ultimate healthy breakfast-on-the-go.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk

  • 1/2 cup plain, unflavoured yoghurt 

  • 3-4 large, dried figs

  • 2 teaspoons LSA mix (linseeds, sunflower seeds and almond meal) OR 1 tablespoon almond butter

  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds

  • 1 small, ripe banana

  • Dash of vanilla essence

Method

  1. For a fibre boost: add 1 tablespoon oat bran or an additional teaspoon of chia seeds.

    For a chocolate-flavoured smoothie: add 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder. Cacao powder is also a good source of several minerals and fibre.

    Place all ingredients in a blender and whizz until fluffy.
