Last week I read an article about things millennials have “killed“, and breakfast cereal was one of them. I initially laughed but it’s true – the only time I ever eat cereal is at my parents’ home! My usual breakfast on a weekday is a smoothie. It’s quick to make, tasty, and filling too. This smoothie was one I made last week, and that’s why it’s tucked in the corner of my dressing table – I usually make it and do my make up as a happy little ritual. Over the years of making smoothies I’ve devised a simple formula to always make a good one: Frozen banana base + plant-based milk + nut butter + superfood powder = smoothie This blueberry smoothie is a new addition and may even give my all-time favourite smoothie a run for its money. For the frozen banana base, I ripen bananas and then slice and freeze them, and the blueberries complement them as they’re both sweet and a natural thickener. Also, if you prefer to eat smoothie bowls over smoothies, try adding less milk to my recipe. Serves 1 1 banana, sliced and frozen
Blueberry smoothie
3 tbsp frozen blueberries (fresh is fine too)
200ml plant-based milk (I use coconut or almond)
1 tsp almond butter
1 tsp maca powder (optional)
