It’s time for a Sprout’s House special
this week! Over the last few months, Sprout’s Daddy and I have been enjoying a
variety of smoothies for breakfast. With all three of us needing to be
showered, dressed and fed in just over an hour, the simplicity and ease of
throwing together a smoothie means that Sprout’s Daddy can gulp his down as he
heads out the door with Sprout whilst I pour mine into a flask and drink it at
school as I check my emails. So here is one of the concoctions we have sampled……..
Ingredients
– serves 2
1 or 2 bananas
a handful of strawberries
a handful of blueberries
a dessert spoon of oats
500ml milk - rice, coconut, soya, cow’s etc
or water can be used too
Pour all the dry ingredients into a jug,
add milk and whizz up!
Tips
If you have time, and remember (I have
never got round to doing this!), soak the oats and chia seeds the night before.
The quantities I have used are guidelines –
experiment to see what you like.
The smoothie tastes just as nice without
the chia seeds, flaxseed, smoothie mix and bee pollen so don’t feel you have to
include them. I add them to give our day a nutritional kick!
Enjoy the rest of your week! Linked up at

I've never tried bee pollen in a smoothie before, only honey. Are there certain health benefits?
ReplyDeleteHi Shauna, Bee pollen is great and is being hailed as a superfood! It's supposed to boost energy, lower cholesterol, slow the aging process and prevent colds and flu etc. It contains lots of vitamins including A, B, C, D, E folic acid, calcium and potassium. I often sprinkle it on my porridge too. Just be careful you don't have any allergies to bees or seasonal allergies to pollen. Hope than helps. xox
DeleteYummmmm!
ReplyDeleteBee pollen is new to me. I've never even heard of it being used in a smoothie. What does it taste like or does it have any taste?
ReplyDeleteHi Erlene, Bee pollen comes as granules and it has a sweet after taste - it's quite hard to describe! Best thing to do it try and see if you like it!! I put it in lots of things or sometimes just eat it straight from the spoon!! xox
DeleteSounds delish - and fast! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYum! I love putting chia seeds in our smoothies. Never tried bee pollen, though! Thanks for sharing your recipe, just pinned it! :-)
