Dairy Free Berry Smoothie

Ingredients

~ Juice from one orange

~ 1/2 cup of frozen berries

~ 1 frozen banana

~ Other fresh fruit if you wish

1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender. If you want it to be less think add water or the juice from one more orange. The more juice you add the more natural sugars  your smoothie will have.

Serving suggestions - Serves 1

~  If you want some protein, add an egg white to the recipe and blend well. Alternitively, ensure you have a handfull of nuts or a small handful of sliced meat / bacon to get an extra protein hit.

~ Make-take-and-go: Pop this in a shaker and take with you so you can enjoy it on your way to work.
