It has a subtle taste and very creamy and rich texture. Try it and feel an amazing awakening of your body by the natural fuel of fruits and veggies.

I looove smoothies for brekky and this magical black currant smoothie is my new favourite reason to get up in the morning. It contains loads of veggies and you can’t even taste it plus black currants are full of vitamin C and antioxidants. It has the most vibrant and magical colour one can imagine, and it makes you wanna dive right into the bowl. I love the sour and fresh taste of black currants, but add some more banana or a date if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.

A yummy topping & other smoothies:

• Crunchy Buckwheat Granola (GF)
• Refreshing Blueberry and Peas Smoothie
• Beetroot Berry Smoothie

If you are looking for an easy lunch, try this grapefruit salad with hemp seeds and pea sprouts. It’s super easy to make and very refreshing. I love the vibrant colours. Adding hemp seeds will allow a better absorption of the nutrients in the veggies and fruit, as they are more easily absorbed when consumed with fats. Hemp seeds also contain all 10 essential amino acids and they add a lovely nutty taste to the fresh and sour taste of the grapefruit.

This easy beetroot berry smoothie has a lovely taste. Using beets in smoothies adds more veggies to your daily diet without comprising the sweet smoothie taste. I find beets great in berry smoothies because they have a sweet taste. Smoothies are generally great to incorporate more veggies in your daily food intake, in which case beets and berries are a great mix.

Enjoy this refreshing blueberry and peas smoothie for brekky as it is or with some crunchy topping. Perfect for a on the go brekky as well.

Proteins for breakfast

Using peas in smoothies is my secret tip to have more proteins and fibers but still keep a sweet taste from the berries. Peas have an excellent sweet taste and don’t disturb the lovely notes from berries. This way you get to have more smoothies without too much sugar. Also, peas are high in Vitamin A and C as well as potassium.
