Banana Strawberry Smoothie Recipe in a jar

My 11 year old is helping with food styling....mmmm...we both need professional help! She says it tastes better out of a jar and that's fine by me.

We have been a little adventurous with our smoothies lately and the vast majority of them have been green.  Yes one of my children had a mini tantrum when presented with it, a little reminiscent of the Green eggs and ham character who is harassed relentlessly by Sam-I-Am.

Green smoothies are just so vogue right now so you really must try one. (Tip request that child closes eyes to taste and all will be well.  This I did with my second Guinea pig and she deemed it delicious.)

Tanti throwing child also came around and reluctantly admitted that the kale could not be tasted and that the smoothie was ...yummy. 


Below is the recipe for the classic banana, strawberry smoothie.  NO Tantrums guaranteed.

Banana & Strawberry Smoothie/ icecream
1 tablespoon linseeds
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 cup activated almonds (soaked in acidulated water overnight)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
3 frozen bananas
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup yoghurt
water to thin

Process the seeds in your thermomix or blender. Add almonds and coconut and process until smooth.  Add remaining ingredients.  Process until well blended.  The mix will be solid like ice-cream.  Now you have a choice.  If you would like the thinner smoothie version, add iced water as desired half - whole cup.  Blend and pour.


If you like the look of the more solid version below.  Simply spoon into a glass and serve with a spoon.    Either way enjoy.
