Travel Series: Blackberry Burst Smoothie
This Recipe
Cooking and eating properly is already difficult but when you add a busy day or a day of traveling, these become even tricker. This recipe is the first in my Travel Series; a collection of fit foods and drinks that you can make quickly and take with you wherever you go.
This smoothie gives you a hearty dose of fruit (and fiber!) plus a burst of energy and a dollop of protein to keep you alert + sated.
Makes 1 bottle or 2 cups
INGREDIENTS
- 1 handful of mixed blackberries and blueberries
- 1/2 banana
- 1 pear
- 1 cup or 240mL cashew milk
- 1 date (optional, adds sweetness)
- Slice of lime
- 1 small spoon bee pollen (for protein and vitamins)
- 1 small spoon guarana (for energy)
- 1 big spoon of almond or peanut butter (optional - this will add thickness)
Steps
First, prepare your fruit: peel and deseed the pear, deseed the date and rinse your berries well. Next, combine prepared fruit and other ingredients into a blender or food processor. For the lime, just squeeze a bit of juice into the mixture. Blend until smooth.
Serve at that moment or take the berry goodness to go in a bottle!
