Hemp-Banana-Berry Shake

Whether you are allergic/intolerant to cow’s milk, or just fancy something different, hemp milk is a fabulous alternative. It has a nutty flavour, enriched with calcium and vitamin D, and has omega 3s. Although these omega 3s are not as well absorbed by the body as the fish source, they are still beneficial for health. It also contains GLA, another omega fat (also found in evening primrose oil).

If you don’t want to use hemp milk, you can use normal cow’s milk, oat, almond, soy or rice milks. For an extra protein punch, add a scoop of protein powder (extra approx 20g protein)

Benefits:

• Oats: low glycaemic index (feel full up for longer), beta-glucan (cholesterol lowering)
• Hemp milk: low calorie, dairy, lactose & gluten free, high in omega 3 (brain & heart health)
• Berries: antioxidants
• Banana: fibre, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese
• Approx 350kcal, 8g protein, 45g carbohydrate
