This is from TV presenter and author Magdalena Roze’s first cook book ‘Happy And Whole’. Here we share her three easy to make and delicious smoothies. 

Good Matcha Morning

Serves 2

This creamy, dreamy smoothie is such a great start to the day and is one of Darren’s favourites. My friend Sam got me onto matcha, and I’m a convert! I’ve always loved green tea for its taste and energy boost, but matcha powder has over 100 times more antioxidants, making this smoothie a delicious and health-boosting way to get energy and nutrients first thing in the morning.

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 large handful of English or baby spinach leaves
  • 1 handful of ice cubes
  • 2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
  • 500 ml (2 cups) coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves, plus extra to serve
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • coconut flakes, to serve

Place the banana, avocado, spinach, ice, matcha powder, coconut milk and mint leaves in a blender and whizz until smooth and creamy. Taste, and add a little maple syrup if you would like it sweeter. Transfer to glasses and top with the extra mint leaves and coconut flakes.Blueberry, Pear & Banana: Annabel Karmel’s Baby Recipes!

Blueberry Dream

Serves 2

Blueberries are my favourite fruit to add to smoothies, as they’re high in antioxidants and not too sweet, so when they’re in season I freeze as many as I can. With the addition of protein and a heap of other superfoods, this smoothie seriously gets your glow on!

  • 150 g fresh or frozen blueberries, plus extra to serve
  • 100 g coconut yoghurt
  • 3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon LSA
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • juice and flesh of 1 young coconut (or 400 ml coconut water)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • coconut flakes, to serve

Place the blueberries, coconut yoghurt, protein powder, LSA, chia seeds and coconut juice and flesh in a blender and whizz until smooth and creamy. Taste, and add a little maple syrup if you would like it sweeter. Transfer to glasses and top with extra blueberries and coconut flakes.

Nutty Nana

Serves 2

This smoothie is creamy, nutty, malty heaven. Maca is an ancient Peruvian food that’s great for regulating hormones and boosting energy.

  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 4 medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • 2 teaspoons maca powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra to serve
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 500 ml (2 cups) almond milk

Place all of the ingredients in a blender and whizz until smooth and creamy. Transfer to glasses and top with a pinch of cinnamon.
