Cocoa Berry Surprise!

I didn’t have time for a proper breakkie yesterday (tut tut, I know) and had to whip something up at work to get my energy levels going. This little beauty was just the thing! In fact, it was so delicious and so energising that I simply have to share it with you…

Ingredients
1 handful raw cashews
2 handfuls frozen berries
1 medium-sized banana
1 tsp raw organic maca powder
1 tsp raw organic cacao powder
2 heaped tsp black chia seeds
200-300ml brown rice milk or organic milk

Preparation
Chuck all ingredients in blender
Blend
Serve
Drink
Yum

And there you have it folks. A tastebud-tingling, mouth-watering smoothie – perfect for breakfast, for a post-workout snack, or as a yummy after-dinner dessert substitute.

Milk alternatives: try almond, brown rice, millet, oat or soy milk
Berries: we opt for frozen as they make your smoothie nice and chilled. No need to add ice!
Maca powder: an energising superfood from the Incas; also a well known aphrodisiac! ;)
LSA: Linseed, Sunflower and Almond mix (omega heaven)
Chia: a super seed, packed full of vits, mins and omegas!
