Making a good breakfast in a hurry can be a challenge. This is the answer. This is a great well balanced start to the day especially as it is very, very quick. This will keep your engines running until lunch time.

This smoothie contains protein: hemp and yoghurt, carbohydrates: hemp, yoghurt and the fruit plus essential fatty acids – the hemp again. It also has a low glycaemic load (impact on your blood sugar).

Use seasonal fruit; this increases the nutritional hit as it should be very fresh, especially if local. The blackcurrants in this were very local, around 200 yards away! No air miles.

Prep time: Washing the fruit and a whizz in the blender – 3 -5 minutes.
Cook time: Absolutely none.
