Breakfast Fruit Smoothie

This gorgeous fruit smoothie was inspired by Jamie Oliver and is super-quick to prepare.  67goingon50 always has frozen berries in the freezer, fresh oranges, at least one ripe banana, granola or nuts and usually yoghurt to hand.  No expensive equipment is required. 

It's a great refreshing drinkable energy-booster if you're preparing breakfast for, and organising, others.  

The thick version of the smoothie is like a milkshake but add more juice if you like it thinner.  The frozen berries help keep it cool if it is being transported. 

Serves: 1 but easily multiplied
Cost: around 75pence, depending on what's in the freezer/fruit bowl

Ingred:
   Juice of 1.5-2 oranges (or apple juice)
   1/3 ripe banana
   scant 1/4 cup/50-60 ml frozen blueberries
   scant 1/4 cup/50-60 ml frozen strawberries
   1 heaping tablespoon Uber Granola, oatmeal or nuts
   1 tbsp yoghurt (opt)

Method:

1. Place ingredients in blender bowl in order of listing 
2. Whizz till thoroughly blended.
3. Add ice if required.

Tip:

• Blueberries are a must for the base but strawberries can be replaced with soft fruit such as peaches or nectarines. 
• Cherries add another beautiful level of  flavour.
• Seeded berries such  as raspberries and blackberries require blending and straining before being added to the mix.
