Equipment

  • 1 Blender

Ingredients
  

For the seed mix:

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp linseeds
  • 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 4 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 4 tbsp coconut flakes
  • 4 tbsp flaked almonds
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp clear honey or maple syrup

For the smoothie:

  • 2 bananas (can be fresh or frozen)
  • 1 ripe avocado (stoned, peeled and chopped into chunks)
  • 1 small ripe mango stoned, peeled and chopped into chunks (I used canned mango slices)
  • 3.5 oz spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 8.4 fl oz milk (or almond or coconut milk)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened almond or peanut butter (I used cashew butter)
  • 1 tbsp clear honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A few mint leaves (optional)

For the topping:

  • 6.1 oz mixed fresh fruit chopped (I used banana, mango, strawberries and blueberries)

Instructions
 

For the seed mix:

  • Heat oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Tip the seeds, coconut and almonds into a bowl, add the cinnamon and drizzle over the honey or maple syrup. Toss until everything is well coated, then scatter over the baking tray in an even layer.
  • Bake for 10-15 mins, stirring every 5 mins or so, until the seeds are lightly toasted (watch carefully as it will burn fairly quickly).
  • Leave to cool. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

For the smoothie:

  • Put the banana, avocado, mango, spinach, milk, nut butter, sweetener (if using), and mint leaves in a blender and whizz to a thick smoothie consistency (if it’s either too thick or too thin, adjust by adding more liquid or fruit/veges).
  • Divide the smoothie between two bowls and arrange the fruit on top. Scatter 1-2 tbsp of the seed mix over each bowl and eat straight away.

Notes

Left-overs can be stored in the fridge for up to a day – just place plastic wrap over the surface of the smoothie.
