Smoothies

[jcallaghan]

This breakfast smoothie is packed with vitamins and will get your day off to a flying start. It could hardly be simpler to make (though a blender or hand blender will make the process much easier): just chuck all the ingredients in the blender and whizz until you have a fruity, yoghurty glass of get-up-and-go. It’s a great breakfast if you’re on the go, as you can put it in a travel cup (just make sure you don’t walk down the street with a smoothie moustache). You can also try serving with a swirl of yoghurt or a spoonful of berries on top.
