Brighten your day with a refreshing Berry Smoothie! This delicious blend of different berries offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, making it a delightful and nutritious treat. Easy to whip up and packed with antioxidants, it's an ideal choice for a quick breakfast, post-workout boost, or a tasty snack. Enjoy the vibrant flavours and health benefits of this berry-licious smoothie!

Number of plants: Depending on the berry mix, 5 to 10 plants

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup of frozen mixed berries (including strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants, blackberries, blackcurrants and blueberries)
  • 1 block of frozen spinach
  • 1 apple
  • 10g chia seeds
  • 4-5 tbsp of kefir or natural yogurt, as preferred

The above ingredient list(minus the frozen berries) is the staple for pretty much all of my smoothies! Occasionally I swap the kefir for milk (see Banana, Apple and PB Smoothie recipe) 

Instructions

Blending the fruit together
1.

Blend until completely smooth. Add water, a little at a time, to loosen the fruit and get it to your desired consistency.

Top tip: frozen fruits help to give the smoothie a thick and creamy texture.
