A Christmas Smoothie…

Written By The Healthy Food Cook

Christmas is almost here. I was thinking these days to a smoothie recipe to match the days before Christmas… It is not Christmas yet but we need some extra energy for all the hurry and crowded streets …

So, what about a smoothie with a bit of “Christmas Goodies” flavour :) ?

INGREDIENTS - for 2 persons

  • Good quality oat flakes - 50 grams

  • Organic / Best you can get walnuts - 20 grams

  • Organic / Best you can get honey - 1 tea spoon

  • Organic / Best you can get bananas - 1 medium banana

  • Organic / Best you can get rice drink - 200 ml

  • Organic / Best you can get grated ginger  - 1/2 tea spoon

  • Organic / Best you can get cinnamon powder - 1/2 tea spoon

  • Organic / Best you can get orange zest - 1 tea spoon

  • Organic / Best you can get fresh orange juice - 50 ml

The smoothie :

Preheat the oven at 200C with ventilation and bake the walnuts for about 5 minutes then smash them or give them a 5 seconds blend to get a “bread crumbs” like texture.

Put all the ingredients in a blender (except the baked walnuts), let the flakes soak some liquid about 10-15 minutes ( so they became softer) and then blend the ingredients about 1 minute at medium-high speed. You should obtain a creamy liquid texture. Pour the smoothie in some large mugs or bowls then sprinkle over the smashed walnuts and a dust of cinnamon powder. Enjoy !

Fell free to add any ingredients make you think about Christmas flavours and …

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
