Healthy Smoothie !

February 5, 2013

1 cup of blueberries
1 apple
1 cup of oat milk or almond milk
2 spoons of pumpkin and linseeds

Ground the linseeds in a coffee grinder and then mix all the ingredients together in the mixer for smoothies.
You can vary this smoothie according to what you have and your mood.
You can use other fruits : mango, papaya, pears, peaches…
You can use other vegetable milk such as rice or soya milk or simply water.
Instead of pumpkin seeds, you can use chia seeds.
