Little Step No. 9
What to do:
Try this (5-minute) pink-berry smoothie!
Why this step works:
Every day this week, I’ve started my day with this bright pink smoothie. And I’d highly recommend giving it a try for 5 reasons!
First up, the lovely bright pink colour will make you smile!
Second, it’s packed full of hormone-balancing, stress-busting and immune-supportive nutrients which I think we could all probably do with a bit more of right now.
Third, it’s one for all the family; a great start to everyone’s day whilst we’re all still at home together.
Fourth, it literally takes about 5 minutes from start to finish – yay!
And last but not least, when we look after ourselves well, not only are we supporting our own health and wellbeing, but we are in a much better place to look after others too. Everything starts with self-care.
“An empty lantern provides no light. Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly.”
Pink-berry smoothie recipe
You will need (serves 3-4)
1 x small banana OR small avocado
300ml almond milk
3 x tablespoons full fat live organic natural yoghurt OR coconut yoghurt
2 tbsps organic grass-fed whey protein OR organic pea protein
Small handful fresh raspberries
Large handful mixed frozen berries
Handful fresh spinach
Handful ice
½ tablespoon ground flaxseeds
½ tablespoon ground pumpkin seeds
Dessicated coconut (optional to sprinkle on top)
Method:
Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender (Nutribullet / Vitamix or similar). Blend until smooth and serve immediately. To make your smoothie runnier, simply add more milk.
Serve in a tall glass and then notice whether your lantern shines that little bit more brightly throughout the rest of your day.
