Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, frozen
- ½ cup tofu, smooth, Are fermented foods good for gut health?
- 1 banana, frozen
- ¼ cup lemon juice, one fresh medium lemon
- 1 tsp lemon zest, approximately half a lemon
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
Equipment
- 1 blender a high-speed blender is best.
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend for one minute. You will need to use the tamper to push the ingredients down, to help the blender along.
- Turn off the blender and let the ingredients sit for two minutes to melt for easier blending.
- Resume blending (using the tamper) for another minute.
- Finish by pouring the smoothie into a bowl and adding your favourite toppings. I like to use fresh strawberries, hemp hearts and chia seeds. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit will help keep your smoothie bowl nice and thick. Plus, it eliminates the need for ice cubes, which can water down the flavour of your smoothie.
- Use a high-speed blender: I highly recommend using a high-speed blender for this recipe. This will help to ensure that the smoothie is nice and creamy.
- Be sure to use fresh lemon juice for this recipe. The bottled stuff just doesn't compare in terms of flavour. And remember to zest the lemon before juicing it.
- Other toppings you could use include fresh fruit, nut butter, granola, and shredded coconut.
