First thing in the morning, it can be tempting to wander into the kitchen and reach for a caffeine kick to start off the day.

Instead of starting the day with a caffeinated jolt, a naturally nourishing alternative, which will also keep you full until lunchtime, is the way to go. Here’s your smoothie recipe that will do just that.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana
• ½ cup (or 75g) frozen blueberries
• 1 Tbs. Nutriseed Coconut Chips
• 1 Tbs. Nutriseed Organic Chia Seeds
• 1 tsp. Nutriseed Organic Spirulina Powder
• 1 tsp. Nutriseed Organic Maca Powder
• Pinch of Nutriseed Stevia Powder
• 200ml of water (or more to taste)
• Mint leaves (optional, to garnish)

Directions

• Beginning with the water (so that the dry ingredients don’t stick to the bottom), place each of the ingredients into your blender, leaving a few frozen blueberries to garnish.
• Add Nutriseed Stevia Powder, just a pinch will do as it is naturally very sweet, but adjust to taste.

Blend away for around 30 seconds, and finally garnish with the few remaining frozen blueberries, and some mint leaves.
