phystonutrients that quite literally

Berry Smoothie
(Packed with vital nutrients and made in minutes. This recipe
is so delicious it's hard to believe it's so health-promoting)

Ingredients (the amounts are flexible)

Blueberries (fresh are best – but use frozen if you can’t get fresh)

Rasberries (again fresh are best – but use frozen if you can’t get fresh). Rasberries are particularly good for flavour - nutritionally excellent too.

You can use any fresh berries when you can get them - blackberries - blackcurrants - strawberries etc. But always try to get some berries into the smoothie. You can add fresh pineapple, peeled, sliced kiwi fruit, banana - or any other fruit- play about with the ingredients to develop your favourite smoothie

Goat's milk yoghurt (goat's milk is much, much healthier than cow's milk - a far better fat composition - and the yoghurt will give you the friendly bacteria that is so important for health. Leave this out if you suffer from milk intolerance)

Golden linseed (from a health shop - the fatty acids in linseed are very important for the health of the heart - for cancer prevention - and have a whole host of other health benefits) See article on "Fish oils on prescription")

Method

First blend approximately a tablespoon of linseed to a fine powder - (whole seeds tend to pass straight through the digestive system without releasing their nutrients).

If you have a coffee grinder this will very quickly produce a fine flour from the linseed.

If you don't have a coffee grinder - and find that you have trouble blending the dry linseed - try soaking them in a little water overnight - then blend both the seeds and the soak-water.

Add a handful of blueberries - and a handful of raspberries (and any other fruit you fancy)

Blend well (again the nutrients from the berry seeds are made more accessible when the seeds are chopped open)

This is a highly nutritious meal in a glass
(or a bowl)
Absolutely delicious - a great way to start your day.

This smoothie maker is available from Amazon. However, a hand blender (see below) can be used to make smoothies - plus it has other uses.

This hand blender comes with a chopping attachment which is useful for chopping small amounts of, for example. dried fruit for using in healthy nutrient-rich "sweets" and "chocolates". It's available from Amazon.

The Russell Hobs coffee grinder is available from Amazon It grinds linseed to a fine flour in seconds. Add this to smoothies to provide a host of nutrients including both omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids.
