Nut and Mango Smoothie
Serves
1
This fruity smoothie is ideal for a last-minute breakfast on the go. With healthy fats and a scoop of protein powder, this is way better for you than any bowl of boxed cereal. Try not to get into the habit of having smoothies every day, though. As I always say, real food wins over dust every time.
Ingredients
125g sliced mango
2 tbsp almond or cashew butter
handful of ice cubes
handful of raspberries
2 tbsp full-fat Greek yoghurt
1 scoop (30g) vanilla or strawberry protein powder
100ml almond milk
How To
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
TIP
Don’t go nuts with your nuts. While they are a great source of protein, fibre and essential fats, nuts also contain lots of calories. It’s very easy to crack open a 200g bag and finish the lot without feeling full. But remember every gram of fat contains 9 kcal, so overeating nuts will not help with your fat loss. I recommend a snack portion of 25–30g. Also, try to get a variety of different nuts as they contain different vitamins. Almonds, walnuts and cashews are my personal favourites.
