Fruit Smoothie Recipe

After a weekend workout, I often arrive home feeling sweaty and quite hungry. Rather than reach an awful tasting protein powder shake, I like to mix up my own smoothie using seasonal fruit resulting in a much more satisfying (and better tasting) post workout snack.

Ingredients

• handful of frozen raspberries
• handful of fresh blueberries
• 1 small banana
• 1 tsbp of protein powder
• 1/3 - 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk depending on how thick you like it
• shredded coconut
• flaked almonds

Method

1. Pop the fruit into a blender - I like to chop up the fruit a bit before I add it so it's easier to blend.
2. Mix the protein powder into the almond milk before adding to the blender. This eliminates those annoying pockets of unmixed powder!
3. Blend on a low speed for about one minute.
4. Pour into a large glass, and sprinkle the shredded coconut and flaked almonds on top.

Best consumed with the help of a spoon!
