Here we share her three easy to make and delicious smoothies. </span> <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Good Matcha Morning</span></strong> Serves 2 <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> This creamy, dreamy smoothie is such a great start to the day and is one of Darren’s favourites. My friend Sam got me onto matcha, and I’m a convert! I’ve always loved green tea for its taste and energy boost, but matcha powder has over 100 times more antioxidants, making this smoothie a delicious and health-boosting way to get energy and nutrients first thing in the morning. <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <ul> <li>1 frozen banana</li> <li>1 avocado</li> <li>1 large handful of English or baby spinach leaves</li> <li>1 handful of ice cubes</li> <li>2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder</li> <li>500 ml (2 cups) coconut milk</li> <li>1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves, plus extra to serve</li> <li>1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)</li> <li>coconut flakes, to serve</li> </ul> Place the banana, avocado, spinach, ice, matcha powder, coconut milk and mint leaves in a blender and whizz until smooth and creamy.

With the addition of protein and a heap of other superfoods, this smoothie seriously gets your glow on! <ul> <li>150 g fresh or frozen blueberries, plus extra to serve</li> <li>100 g coconut yoghurt</li> <li>3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder</li> <li>1 tablespoon LSA</li> <li>1 tablespoon chia seeds</li> <li>juice and flesh of 1 young coconut (or 400 ml coconut water)</li> <li>1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)</li> <li>coconut flakes, to serve</li> </ul> Place the blueberries, coconut yoghurt, protein powder, LSA, chia seeds and coconut juice and flesh in a blender and whizz until smooth and creamy. Taste, and add a little maple syrup if you would like it sweeter. Transfer to glasses and top with extra blueberries and coconut flakes. <div class="page" title="Page 1"> <div class="section"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"> <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Nutty Nana</span></strong> Serves 2 This smoothie is creamy, nutty, malty heaven.
