It’s getting close to the time when juicy, delicious, sunkissed Wexford strawberries will be found in abundance on the road sides the length of the country and we think this Oliver McCabe smoothie recipe is one to be kept on hand. Not only do strawberries taste of summer but they are also an excellent source of antioxidant-promoting Vitamin C and keeping with our Healthy Skin theme this month Vitamin C is essential for healthy skin repair and growth.
This recipe is high in plant protein, essential fats, dietary fibre, magnesium and antioxidants plus to boost the skin loving effect of this smoothie even more we added a tablespoon of Udo’s Choice oil, however any essential fatty acid oil such as flaxseed, hemp oil or a fish oil could be added.
This recipe is enough for 3 tumbler glass size portions
Ingredients:
400ml unsweetened almond milk
7 strawberries, topped and tailed
1 1/2 bananas, peeled
1/4 mango, peeled and stoned
1 heaped tablespoon hemp or pea protein
1 teaspoon golden flaxseed
1/2 teaspoon spirulina powder
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend for 20 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve immediately. And enjoy the taste of summer!
