Smoothies

If you want less of a “frozen” consistency to your smoothie (when using frozen fruit) just omit
the ice from any of the recipes below, you can also and add a bit more water if it becomes
too thick when blending.

If you are adding Chia seeds or Flax seeds to any of these recipes it will significantly thicken
the smoothie, 1-2 tsp is the quantity I would recommend when adding (where not already part
of the recipe) and then add water to compensate as you blend.

Always try and use pre-ground seeds in your smoothies, Linwood’s makes a nice range of
products, and you can also use their nut and seed mixes to make your smoothies easier and
quicker. Please remember when using pre-ground mixes the instructions on the package
normally say a 30g serving, or two tablespoons is your RDA, if you are having two smoothies a
day with these mixes included, split the amount over both smoothies. Nuts and Seeds are vital
to good health but are high in fats, even good fat needs to be used in the correct portions.
