Smoothies are quick and easy to put together, you can take it on the go with you, and they are full of good stuff to leave you feeling awesome after exercise.
All you need is a blender and your choice of healthy ingredients. You'll need a base, such as water, milk or yogurt, but otherwise there are very few limits to what you can add in to your smoothies. They are such a good way to add immunity- and energy-boosting nutrients that will help keep you on track towards your health and fitness goals.
This is a thick and creamy shake that is packed with goodness. All the deliciousness of chocolate, without the guilt!
Ingredients:
How to make:
Adapt it: This smoothie has a slightly coarse texture because of the seeds and dates. If you prefer to have a smooth shake then replace the pumpkin seeds with peanut or almond butter and soak the dates for a little longer before adding them.
Top tip: For a rich chocolate taste, try using raw Dutch cocoa. You can buy it at some supermarkets, health stores and speciality food stores.
There are loads of cake recipes which have chocolate and beetroot and they work well, so why not try the same in a smoothie. This is so tasty and toddler approved too, my little boy loved it.
Ingredients:
How to make:
Blitz together (I used my amazing Kenwood food processor) and enjoy!!
Tip: Next time I think I might add a slice of avocado and make it even more creamy
Another cake flavour favourite, so if you're feeling like a treat, here is a healthier, more nourishing version!
