Smoothies: The Breakfast food

I’m not going to lie, but I’m really not the biggest fan of smoothies or anything too sweet for that matter (I’m definitely don’t have a sweet tooth).

During December avocados were semi-cheap here in South Africa so for breakfast I would opt for avo’s on rice cakes. I loved that SO much!! Unfortunately, they have become too expensive to include in my diet. So for the last couple of weeks I’ve really been struggling to get a good “breakfast food”.

So now, my attention has turned to smoothies.

I’m not 100% hooked on them yet, but I think I’m getting there. Yesterday I made a very simple healthy smoothie and I really liked it. So I decided to share it with you guys! I just used everything that was available in my kitchen, so you can obviously add your own twist to it or incorporate more fruit.

Ingredients:

• A few chunks of ice

• Half a frozen banana (Freeze you banana’s beforehand, it makes the smoothie creamier)

• Protein powder (This is optional, I just do it for a more balanced smoothie)

• One teaspoon of Chia seeds (For some added healthy fats)

• Two teaspoons for hemp seeds

• The tiniest bit of spirulina powder (I know it taste disgusting, but it’s really healthy and banana really masks the taste)

• 100g of yogurt (I used plain yogurt, but you can add whatever you want. )

• Cold tea or water (I added a cold fruit tea for some added flavor, but water would be fine.)

Just put all these ingredients in a high power blender and blend until smooth.

I’ll probably be posting more smoothie recipes in the future. This one was just to get me started. I really hope you enjoyed this post.
