Strawberry sunrise smoothie

Breakfast is undoubtedly my favourite time of day and smoothies for breakfast are super speedy and give you an instant hit of that all important 5 a day burst of vibrant colour, all things to start the day off right. This strawberry sunrise smoothie is really special and fab to make all year round; frozen fruit instantly transports us to the height of summer so I always keep a stash of berries in my freezer. Strawberries, bananas and oranges are also for me, instant comforting winners at breakfast time, so this smoothie was a no brainer to try out. So fast, so delicious. A virtuously smug way to start the day. 

Strawberry sunrise smoothie

Recipe 

2 ripe bananas 

200g strawberries

Splash of milk (2 tbsp)

Zest and juice of 1 orange (optional)

Makes enough for 2-3 glasses

Method

Blitz all of the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Share out in glasses or add some granola to make a tasty smoothie bowl. 

This will keep for a few days in the fridge if you don’t drink it straight away, but give it a little stir incase it separates a bit.

If you use frozen bananas and strawberries and just the orange zest (without the milk or juice) this makes a super nice cream too.
