Energy breakfast smoothie

Chef: Mary McCarthy

Prep: 5 mins

You can jam in all the healthy stuff and make it super tasty too - perfect for breakfast on the go.

200 ml almond milk, rice milk or dairy milk

Half tsp pumpkin seeds

1 tbsp hemp seeds

1 tbsp pine nuts

1 ripe banana

1 kiwi, peeled (optional)

1 scoop whey or protein powder

For the quick version, out all the ingredients into a blender and whizz until smooth - about 20-30 seconds.

However, if you have time the night before, pop the seeds and pine nuts into your milk and leave in the fridge overnight.

Peel and chop the banana and keep it in the freezer overnight.

Soaking the seeds and nuts will cause them to swell and soften, making them easier to digest.

Frozen banana creates a much creamier, colder smoothie.

At breakfast time, add the chopped kiwi - and the protein, if using - to all the prepared ingredients in the blender and go!
