The World's best Smoothies!

I am not a big fan of fruit juices because the whole peel and pulp is discarded and they are most rich in minerals, vitamins and fibre. But I think smoothies are great because you use the whole fruit.

I wouldn’t say Zoe is grumpy in the morning, but she doesn’t fancy anything except for pancakes or milk rice. She does like smoothies though because she loves the little bottle I fill it into and she is grateful to slurp breakfast from a straw instead of having to chew it bite for bite.

But smoothies are not only a good solution for my daughter. They are also perfect for me and my boyfriend when we don’t have time to sit down and have breakfast sometimes. I simply fill the smoothie in an XL-size bottle and tuck it into my bag so I can drink it on the way or wherever I go.

Here are Zoe’s and my favourite smoothie recipes. I calculated them for two portions each. I suggest you do the full amount and store one in the fridge. They stay fresh for two days without problem.

Zoe’s Smoothie:

1 ripe banana

3 large blue plums

1.5 glass of milk

1/2 level teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 Glass of ice cubes

Doris’ Smoothie:

1 ripe banana

1/4 avocado

1 Kiwi

1 thick slice of fresh pineapple

1 handful kale

1 Glass of ice cubes
