Homemade smoothies make an amazing breakfast or a quick snack full of vitamins, minerals and other goodness. They're quick and easy to make and they taste amazing. With autumn aka cold and flu season swiftly on its way introducing smoothies into your daily diet is one of the easiest ways to boost your immune system. It's easy to pack an extra punch of superfood goodness into smoothies by adding some seeds and powders.
This smoothie bowl makes a delicious hearty breakfast full of omega 3 fatty acids.
Below are my 3 favourite recipes:
Blueberry and Raspberry Breakfast Bowl
This smoothie bowl makes a delicious hearty breakfast full of omega 3 fatty acids.
INGREDIENTS
- 120g Frozen Raspberries & Blackberries (mix of the two)
- 80g Frozen Blueberries
- 50g Oats
- 1 Banana
- 50g Flaxseed
- 15g Chia Seeds*
- 1 Spoonful Full Fat Greek Yoghurt
- 150ml Coconut Water (normal water will work too)

Pineapple and Greens
I've added some supergreen powders to this recipe which makes this smoothie incredibly healthy.
Spirulina powder has 3900% more iron than spinach and is rich in vitamins K and B. Chlorella powder is amazing for detoxifying the body and supports heart health. Wheatgrass contains all minerals our body needs and vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, l and K. Matcha green tea will give you an amazing energy boost and will increase your metabolism. You can add these powders to any smoothie but I found it worked particularly well with this recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- 100g Spinach (I used frozen)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Chlorella Powder*
- 1/2 Teaspoon Wheatgrass Powder*
- 1/2 Teaspoon Spirulina Powder*
- 1 Teaspoon Matcha Green Tea Powder*
- 1 Kiwi
- 100ml Apple Juice
- 150g Pineapple
- 60g Mango
- 80g Cucumber
METHOD
- Blend all the ingredients together.
Tropical Protein Blast
This smoothie tastes like the tropics and it's full of protein, antioxidants and other goodness thanks to the addition of the Vegan protein blend.
INGREDIENTS
- 150g Frozen Mango, Pineapple and Papaya
- 100g Frozen Summer Berries
- 100ml Apple Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Vegan Protein Powder*
METHOD
- Blend all the ingredients together.
Another delicious concoction I've come up with is to layer the Blueberry and the Tropical smoothie with a thick layer of chia seeds and leave it over night. It creates a perfect chia seed pudding smoothie breakfast.
Until next time,
You can also find me in all of these places!
The tropical protein blast looks so tasty! Love your photography hun :)
