02/08/2017 - All year round, this healthy delight will restore good nature, revive temperament, and deliver energy.

This delicious drink is perfect as a quick morning pick-me-up shake so it’s time to get blending.

In terms of the method, just throw everything in and blitz away until you’re happy with the consistency.

The bulk of the drink is made up of the coconut water, coffee (of course) and banana. The banana adds texture, flavour and potassium to the drink, while the coconut water is full of nutrients and is one of the best forms of hydration out there.

While these three ingredients make up the body of the smoothie, the chia seeds are full of nutrients, as well as being high in fibre, omega 3 fatty acids and protein.

Combine with the almonds – which add the finishing flavour and give the smoothie a sweet, nutty finish – and voila, you’ve got one serious addition to your morning routine.

Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 8g chia seeds
