I really like breakfast smoothies. This one is full of low glycaemic berries, seeds and even anti-inflammatory turmeric for good measure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is thickened with chia and flax seeds rather than banana to keep the sugar level down and is bursting with phytoestrogens and soluble fibre which are good for hormone balance and cholesterol. If you don’t fancy the turmeric or cinnamon for breakfast, just leave them out. ⠀⠀
