Looking for a way to switch up breakfasts and snacks during lockdown? Check out our crowd-pleasing smoothie recipes. Eating from home is great, you save money, you can plan your meals and it's usually healthier. However, sometimes it can get a little boring having the same dishes every day. So, we have a few tasty recipes which can be thrown together in just a few minutes. Perfect if you are in the roll-out of bed and over to your desk phase! To create your perfect smoothie, just add all your ingredients to your blender and blitz until you get the desired consistency. Simple and tasty!

• Use ice instead of water if you like thick smoothies. It is also perfect for making breakfast smoothie bowls. You can also use frozen fruit to give a nice thick texture. Frozen fruit is also cheaper to purchase, and you can always have a bag in the freezer for when the smoothie cravings hit.
• Buy some fresh ginger and grate or finely dice it. Then store it in the fridge. It's great for adding flavour to smoothies, ice-cream and porridge.
• Frozen spinach is cheap, lasts longer than fresh and is the perfect way of adding nutrients to your smoothies. Fresh spinach is perfect for omelettes and stir-fries, but we are in favour of frozen when it comes to smoothie making.    

• 200G Cantaloupe or Honeydew Melon
• 2 Kiwis 100g Green Grapes
• 2 large handfuls of spinach (frozen spinach works well too!)
• 20g Milled Flaxseed or Milled Chia Seeds
• 5g of Frozen/Fresh Ginger
• 2 large handfuls of ice (or 200-300mls of water if you prefer your smoothie to be runny)     

If you want to bulk out your recipe you can add 40g of porridge oats or a scoop of protein powder  

• 200g Frozen Mixed Berries
• 1 Small Diced Banana
• 150g Greek Yogurt
• 1 Tsp Cinnamon
• 2 Tbps Honey or Maple Syrup
• 20g Milled Flaxseed or Milled Chia Seeds
• 2 large handfuls of ice (or 200-300mls of water if you prefer your smoothie to be runny)

This smoothie is the ideal smoothie bowl base. Top with oats, nuts and coconut flakes for a tasty, easy breakfast.  

• 1 Large Banana
• 1 Scoop of Flavoured Protein Powder (Chocolate or Vanilla work well!)
• 2 Tbsp of Peanut Butter
• 150g Greek Yogurt
• 30g Porridge Oats
• 2 Tbps Honey or Maple Syrup
• 2 large handfuls of ice (or 200-300mls of water if you prefer your smoothie to be runny)  

This is the perfect post-workout filler. You get a boost of protein and it keeps you full until dinner. If you want to reduce the calories you can leave out the oats and opt for fat-free Greek yoghurt.
