Let’s talk blackberry bushes – nature’s larder is bursting with the goodies at this time of year. Time to pluck, pick and whizz it all up into a banging, health-giving drink.

This bright smoothie with blackberry, mint and honey is full of flavour and packs a soothing and nourishing punch – and you can whip it up in 10 mins. We like.

You can make this recipe with a milk kefir (a naturally fermented organic milk with live cultures) but if that’s too faffy, just grab the almond milk from the fridge and whip it up with that.

INGREDIENTS

(SERVES 2)

140ml of Organic milk kefir or almond milk

2 tbsp oats

2 tbsp cashew nuts

2 tsp runny honey

100g raw beetroot roughly chopped or grated for low power blenders

100g blackberries

60ml water

Generous squeeze of lemon

5-6 mint leaves

METHOD

Put all of the ingredients into a powerful blender and blitz until smooth.

To create a layered look, simply blitz the kefir or almond milk, oats, cashews and honey together before pouring into your glass. Rinse the blender before blitzing the beetroot, blackberries water, lemon and mint leaves together separately. Pour the vibrant mixture on top of the milk mixture and gently stir through.

And guzzle.
