Kiwis. Small, flightless birds and symbol of New Zealand. Ever tried putting one in a blender? No? Good. You shouldn’t either, it’s probably illegal. But there’s no excuse for not trying this quick and spicy kiwi breakfast smoothie – it’s absolutely rammed with vitamin C and is high in calcium, fiber, protein, iron and potassium.

It’s a great summer smoothie that’s really filling too – courtesy of the porridge oats. Your body will thank you, and the ginger gives the taste a real kick.

Health Benefits – Kiwi Banana Smoothie

This smoothie really is one of the best. One serving contains 36% of your GDA of fibre, which has a myriad of different health benefits – like lowering glucose and cholesterol levels and protecting against heart disease and diabetes (Fantastic Fibre).

A serving also contains nearly a third (32%) of the GDA for potassium – critical for blood pressure control and kidney function (Powerful Potassium).

On top of that it even has less than 300 calories. Combined with the other nutrients included – the only question left is: what are you waiting for?

1 cup milk (any milk is fine, try soy, almond, coconut etc)
¾ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp chia seeds
5 tbsp porridge oats
1 thumb ginger, fresh

Optional

1 tsp honey (if you like it that bit sweeter)

Instructions

Skin the kiwis – chop off the top and bottom, stand and slice off the edges (not your fingers)
3 kiwi
Peel bananas (a monkey can do it, so can you).
2 banana
Chop or grate the ginger.
1 thumb ginger, fresh
Throw fruits, oats, chia seeds and ginger into a blender with the milk and yogurt.
1 cup milk, ¾ cup low-fat Greek yogurt, 5 tbsp porridge oats, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp chia seeds

NOTES

Tips: Use more or less ginger depending on how ‘tangy’ you like it! If you’ve got a sweet tooth then don’t be afraid to add some honey or brown sugar to make it more palatable to you.

Make-ahead? Yes, absolutely.
