Peaches & Cream Smoothie

Feel like something tropical & fresh? This one is for you! 
4 Peaches, 1 Nectarine, 2 Tbsp Ground Almonds, 4 Mint leaves, 1 Tbsp Coconut Cream & Milk of your choice. Blend all the ingredients excluding the milk & cream until smooth (I like to peel & freeze my fruit overnight). Continue blending whilst adding your cream & milk (I used almond) until you achieve a fluffy consistency. 
Perfect refreshment!

Red Berry Protein Power Oats

I'm quite excited to post today's breakfast recipe. It's a delicious power boost breakfast which will give you the kickstart you need for a long day ahead. Although a bit high in calories, I wanted something appropriate before a gym workout, high not only in protein and carbohydrates but low in fats too. 
Red Berry Protein Power Oats!


You Will Need: 

  • ½ - 1 Cup Oats
  • 1 - 2 Cups Almond Milk 
  • 10g Raspberries
  • 50g Strawberries
  • 40g Raspberry flavored Protein Powder
Ready, Set, Go! 
Method: 
  1. Heat the milk to a simmer and blend in your protein powder until dissolved
  2. Add in oats and allow to simmer whilst stirring until cooked 
  3. Add in your berries and blend in 
  4. Serve in your favorite bowl and add milk for added creaminess 
Measuring is Important! 

For a bit of crunch roasted almond slithers can do the trick.

Red Berry Protein Smoothie & Grapefruit

Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. One of my favorite breakfast combo's at the moment consists of an espresso (or two) to start my day off, a protein smoothie and half a grapefruit to make sure I'm energized and ready for the day ahead. 


What will you need: 
  • ½ Cup Strawberries 
  • 15 g Raspberries 
  • ½ Banana 
  • 2 Tbsp Protein Powder 
  • 1 Cup Almond milk 
Preparation: 
Blend all the fruit together until smooth. Slowly add the protein powder to ensure that there are no lumps. Add more or less milk depending on your consistency preferences. 
I prefer to have all my berries frozen so that my smoothie is cool after all the blending. 
Remember, don't be afraid to try different combinations or quantities depending on your preferences.
