Ingredients
SMOOTHIE
-
2 Tbs organic Rolled oats
- 1 Measure of vegan pea protein powder (vanilla flavour)
-
1 Tea spoon organic Chia seeds
- 1 Tea spoon of organic virgin coconut oil
- 4 Big strawberries
TOPPING
-
Mixed seeds (pumpkin. sunflower, sesame, goji berries)
PREPARATION
- Melt the coconut oil in one cup* of hot water.
- Put inside the blender cup all the ingredients (including the water with the melted coconut oil) and mix for 2 minutes.
-
Let the mix rest for 5 minutes then blend again.
-
Serve in a large glass and let it rest for about 15 minutes to half an hour, in order for the flax seeds and chia seeds to expand, creating a thicker consistency.(Place in the fridge if you prefer to drink it chilled.)
* (1 US Cup = 240 ml)
TOPPING
-
Cut strawberries in small pieces and put on top of smoothie. (Add some strawberries for additional freshness)
-
Sprinkle your favourite mixed seeds. In this case, I added my personal mix of pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, and goji berries.
If you would like a bit of extra sweetness add some date syrup or maple syrup.
For more intense flavour, substitute the water by almond milk or any other type of vegetable milk you enjoy.

Bom Apetite!*
