Oat and Cashew Butter Power Smoothie

• Makes enough for one, thick smoothie.

Cashew Nut Butter 170g (Meridian)

1 heaped tsp Cashew butter

Organic Porridge Oats (1kg) - Sussex WholeFoods

2 heaped Tbsp Gluten-free Oats

Organic Unblanched Almonds (500g) - Sussex WholeFoods

Small handful(16) unblanched Almonds

Manuka Honey Active 5+ 250 g (Littleover Apiaries)

1 tsp Manuka honey

Ginger Powder 100g (Hampshire Foods)

¼ tsp Ginger powder

Other Ingredients

• 1 small pear, skin left on
• ½ an apple, skin left on
• 2 heaped Tbsp organic full fat yoghurt
• ½ zest of a lemon & a squeeze of lemon juice

Method

1. In a power blender roughly chop the pear and apple. Ensure that any pips have been removed first.
2. Add the almonds and blitz for 10-15 seconds.
3. Now add the remaining ingredients and blend for 30 seconds or until smooth. You should have a fairly thick consistency that can just about be poured into a glass and will need a little help from a spoon.
4. Garnish with a slice of lemon, especially if you are making for someone else, and enjoy straight away!
