Original recipe of the week: Get your Wimbledon smoothie on – strawberries and cream

Original recipe of the week: Get your Wimbledon smoothie on – strawberries and cream

A smoothie is the perfect breakfast. Packed full of fruit, and even sometimes veg, it can really give you a boost in the morning. So why not relax this weekend and watch Wimbledon without worrying about the extra calories that the traditional strawberries and cream can add to your court-side snack. Still fruity, creamy and delicious, a great alternative if you want to watch your waistline, as well as the tennis, and indulge in a tradition at the same time.

Serves 4

What you will need:

1 punnet of ripe strawberries

250ml low fat Greek yoghurt

2 tbsp honey

1 ripe banana

A handful of ice

A handful of lightly toasted oats

What you need to do:

  1. De-stem and core all of your strawberries, and cut into quarters.
  2.  Next, add these to your food processor with the banana and yoghurt. Gently pulse to blend, and add the yoghurt, honey and ice.
  3. Blend again until as smooth as you like. You could also add a touch of milk to loosen it up if you like a runnier smoothie.
  4. Serve in chilled glasses topped with the toasted oats if you fancy, and even a sprig of fresh mint too.
