Blueberry Coconut Shake

February 13, 2014 by admin 1 Comment

Blueberry Coconut Shake

This delicious creamy blueberry smoothie is the perfect breakfast, packed full of protein, good fats and antioxidants it will really set you up for the day. Including a bit of protein in your breakfast is always a good idea as it helps to balance blood sugars and gives you a boost of energy to last you till lunch. Flaxseeds are excellent as they are one of the few vegetarian foods that are very high in Omega 3, as well as being the single best food source of Lignans. Lignans are phytoestrogens so act as hormone balancers, they also  have fibre-like benefits so help to keep things regular!

This smoothie tastes so good and has such a rich gorgeous purple colour, garnish with seeds and a couple of berries for an indulgent yet seriously healthy breakfast!
