Suitable from: 6+ months of age (avoid whole or flaked nuts)
- Servings
- 2 smoothies
- Prep Time
- 5-10 minutes
Ingredients
- One banana (Can be fresh or frozen - frozen is better for a more ice cream-like texture)
- 150g frozen cherries
- 50g ground almonds
- 150g Greek yogurt or kefir yogurt (Can be swapped to a dairy-free option)
- 50-100ml milk, kefir or fortified milk alternative drink, e.g. soy/oat/coconut-based
- 1tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
- oppings: ground seeds, nuts or nut butter, coconut, dried fruit, oats, sliced fruit - all of your choice
Instructions
Combine all your ingredients and half the milk in a blender and blitz until smooth. You can add the remaining milk gradually to get the consistency you’d like for your smoothie – the thicker it is, the easier it will be to spoon, but if you want something on the go, keep adding milk until you have a drinkable option.
If having in a bowl, spoon out your smoothie and then add your toppings of choice!
