Smoothies: The Breakfast food

I’m not going to lie, but I’m really not the biggest fan of smoothies or anything too sweet for that matter (I’m definitely don’t have a sweet tooth).

During December avocados were semi-cheap here in South Africa so for breakfast I would opt for avo’s on rice cakes. I loved that SO much!! Unfortunately, they have become too expensive to include in my diet. So for the last couple of weeks I’ve really been struggling to get a good “breakfast food”.

So now, my attention has turned to smoothies.

I’m not 100% hooked on them yet, but I think I’m getting there. Yesterday I made a very simple healthy smoothie and I really liked it. So I decided to share it with you guys! I just used everything that was available in my kitchen, so you can obviously add your own twist to it or incorporate more fruit.

Ingredients:

A few chunks of ice
Half a frozen banana (Freeze you banana’s beforehand, it makes the smoothie creamier)
Protein powder (This is optional, I just do it for a more balanced smoothie)
One teaspoon of Chia seeds (For some added healthy fats)
Two teaspoons for hemp seeds
The tiniest bit of spirulina powder (I know it taste disgusting, but it’s really healthy and banana really masks the taste)
100g of yogurt (I used plain yogurt, but you can add whatever you want. )
Cold tea or water (I added a cold fruit tea for some added flavor, but water would be fine.)

Just put all these ingredients in a high power blender and blend until smooth.
