Berry protein smoothie

A protein smoothie is great for a breakfast on the run, or a healthy snack.

Use 100% plant based protein powders like pea or fermented brown rice protein, free of flavours and sweeteners; easy on digestion and allergy free.

Ingredients

• 200mls filtered water
• 5 ice cubes
• 1 quantity of protein powder (see jar for details, should supply 20gms approx of pure protein)
• 1/2 cup of mixed berries (frozen is fine) or 1/2 ripe banana and a slice of pineapple
• 1 tablespoon of flaxseed or coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon of chia seed paste*

* to make chia paste – mix 1 tablespoon of white chia seeds with 1/2 cup of water. In 10 minutes the chia seeds will absorb the water making a jelly like paste. Chia seeds are high in soluble fibre and a good source of omega 3 fatty acids

Method

Put all ingredients except oil in a blender and pulse to break up ice cube.

Blend smoothie until smooth

Add  flaxseed or coconut oil and pulse until just combined

Pour into a tall glass and enjoy straight away

There are so many possible flavour combinations, go crazy!
