Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 578kcal
Ingredients
- 250 g Frozen berries
- 1 Banana
- 140 g 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoon Flax seeds
- 50 g Oats (use certified gluten free oats to ensure this recipe is gluten free)
- 500 ml Skimmed milk
- 2 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon Peanut butter
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients into a blender jug.
- Blend until smooth.
Notes
- Use ground flaxseed rather than whole flaxseed. Whole flaxseeds do not always break down fully in a standard blender and can leave a gritty texture.
- For a smoother finish, blend the oats, chia seeds, flaxseed and milk first for 20 seconds before adding the remaining ingredients. This helps break down the dry ingredients and gives the smoothie a less grainy texture.
- Let the smoothie sit for 5 minutes after blending if you like it thicker. The chia seeds and oats will absorb some of the liquid, making it more spoonable.
- Use a ripe banana for the best natural sweetness. If your banana is underripe, the smoothie may taste less sweet and slightly more earthy.
- Avoid adding too much maple syrup at the start. Frozen berries vary a lot in sweetness, so it is better to blend first, taste, and then add more if needed.
- For a colder smoothie, use frozen banana as well as frozen berries. Slice ripe bananas and freeze them in a single layer before transferring to a bag or container.
- For children, you may want to start with less chia and flax if they are not used to a seedier texture. You can gradually increase the amount once they are used to it.
