* Oatly milk
* Frozen or fresh berries
* One banana
* One kiwi
* Various other fruits according to what you have: mango, persimmon, papaya, peaches, pears etc
* One scoop of protein powder
* One tablespoon of already ground up linseeds
* One big tablespoon of live yoghurt

This is very much for grown ups although if you cut down the linseeds and omit the protein powder and kiwi (only cos it can be an allergen but if your child has had it already with no ill effect then add away!) little ‘uns can have it too. But the reason I like it so much is that it has all the macro nutrients (plus I eat some brazil or almonds after drinking this, just to be sure I’ve got enough good fats).

Oatly milk isn’t something I’d recommend for anything other than smoothies but it lends a milky, creamy taste without loading you up with dairy. Kiwis are really rich in vitamin C, the yoghurt provides valuable probiotics and the other fruits lovely flavour and all sort of vitamins and antioxidants.

You basically blend the lot together, adding as much or as little milk as you want to make it the consistency you require. You can also add some apple juice.

I have one of these a day as otherwise I never eat any fruit!

ps: the linseeds provide valuable omega 3s but they are a bulking agent so make sure you drink lots of water during the day!
