New improved Breakfast Smoothie!

Since having small human who is vegetarian and averse to swallowing solid food, we have come to rely even more on the sustenance of our BREAKFAST SMOOTHIES.

Further, we acquired a thermomix last year which increases our easy options with a good or decor and blender in one, though those two applicants could be used for this recipe.

Ingredients
1 TB oats
2 TB raw almonds
2 TB raw cashews
1TB chia seeds 
2 cups/handfuls English/baby spinach / silverbeet / kale leaves 
16 strawberries
4 bananas
1 or 2 apple or pear or stone fruit or other berry - whatever you prefer cored/ chopped into blend-able pieces
2 cups water

Method
Food process the nuts, oats and chia seed until fine (20 seconds on speed 10 on the thermomix)
Add all other ingredients and blend (1 min on speed 10 in the thermomix)

Enjoy!! 

This recipe is totally adaptable with other seeds, nuts, nutritional powders and other fruits that can be included or swapped, though the cashews and bananas are important to make it smooth and creamy :)

Serves 4 as a breakfast or more as a snack!
