Morning Berry Smoothie

I’ve been experimenting with smoothies for a few months now, but until now I’ve never remembered to scribble down what I put in the blender. My smoothies typically start with a handful of fruit, some vegetables or green juice followed, rice milk or coconut milk and maybe some whole oats, chia seeds or flax meal. I typically make dairy free smoothies. Here’s one with high antioxidants, I whizzed up just before work this morning. If you need an extra boost add a little matcha green tea powder to this recipe.

⅔ cup fresh or frozen mixed berries

2 tablespoons of carrot pulp (leftover juicer pulp) or 1 grated carrot

1 tablespoon rolled oats

1 teaspoon chia seeds

1-2 teaspoons of honey (to taste)

1 cup rice milk (or your choice of alternative milk)

½ cup filtered water

A pinch of cinnamon

Blend all ingredients well (15-20 seconds, should do the trick) and serve in a highball with a smoothie straw.
