Flaxseed, banana, mint and coconut smoothie -

Flaxseed, banana, mint and coconut smoothie is the easiest way to get your daily omega 3 and a quarter of your fibre intake. Delicious and quickly prepared. Would you think of combining these ingredients? I grew a lot of mint this summer and experimenting with it led to surprisingly tasty drink.

Portions: 1 Preparation time: 5 min

Ingredients:

1 medium banana (126 g)
2 table spoons of activated flax seeds (leave them in the water in the fridge overnight)
6-8 fresh mint leaves
1 small tea spoon of cinnamon
glass of coconut drink/milk (300 ml)*

* I use Koko Dairy Free Original Drink because it contains a bit of grapefruit juice which goes well with mint. I am not sure if you get the same flavour using other brands but you can add a little bit of lemon or grapefruit juice instead.

*I have not received any commission for promoting the brand. The suggestion is made solely based on my personal experience.

Tip: If you do not like mint you can add small beetroot instead! It tastes really delicious!

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients in the blender and find a nice cup to pour it in.
