This thick and creamy smoothie is perfect if you crave something a little sweet in the mornings, and is filling enough to substitute for lunch. It tastes just like a muffin, but in drink form and much healthier. You’re welcome!

Add a sprinkling of chia seeds for an extra antioxidant boost. These tiny seeds are packed with protein, iron, potassium and essential fatty acids. Try soaking them overnight, or make a batch to last the week – they can keep up to five days when refrigerated. Soaked chia seeds are easier to digest and the nutrients are more easily absorbed by the body.
