This is a great way to start the day, or as a between-meal snack, and is packed with plant-based omega-3 essential fatty acids, and a decent protein boost too.

1 handful baby spinach

1/2 a cucumber

1/2 a banana (sub 1/2 an apple, pear, pineapple or seasonal fruit)

1 level Tbsp chia seeds

2 level Tbsp linseeds (whole seeds if using nutribullet/high speed, or freshly ground flaxseed if using a regular blender)

1 Tbsp hemp protein powder

Dollop of coconut yoghurt

1/2 cup filtered water (add more if too thick – the chia and flaxseed will soak it up)

Blend together in your nutribullet or high speed blender, and enjoy!
