Smoothie power mix

Smoothies need to be quick and easy, so here’s a way to cut the daily prep time and add lots of essential nutrients:

Chia seeds = fibre, protein, nutrient rich (antioxidants, ALA-omega 3, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, B1, B3) also thickens the smoothie too giving a nice texture.

• Flaxseed = amino acids, ALA-omega 3, omega 6, fibre, B1, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, ligand-rich - phytoestrogens - good for peri-meno and antioxidants

• Pea protein powder = protein/amino acids 💪 (@realfoodsource)

• 5 tbsp chia seeds

• 2 ½ tbsp flax seeds

• 10 tbsp protein powder (I use pea or organic whey)
