Fast and fantastic snacks!
Smoothies make a fantastic snack choice – healthy, quick and delicious. And
houmous with fresh vegetables is easy to make and so tasty too!
Berry Burst Smoothie (serves 2)
Healthy Houmous
2 small pots Greek yoghurt (check
sugar content as this can vary by
brand)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tin chickpeas, rinsed and
drained
Large handful of blueberries (or
mixture of berries)
½ lemon
A banana, chopped
Olive oil
A little skimmed milk
Paprika (optional)
Two or three ice cubes
Put everything into a blender or use
a hand-held blender. Blitz until
smooth. Add a bit of milk if you want
to make it less thick.
Blueberry Beet Smoothie (for 2)
2 small pots Greek yoghurt
Large handful of blueberries
2 fresh cooked beetroot
A spoonful of any seeds (flax, linseed
etc.) – optional
Put everything into a blender or use
a hand blender and blitz!
1 teaspoon tahini paste
Method: Put everything except
the oil and paprika into a blender
and blitz (or use a hand blender).
Gradually add the olive oil,
blending as you go. Serve with a
sprinkling of paprika, pitta bread
and slices of raw peppers and
carrot.
No tahini paste? Simply put 1 cup of
sesame seeds into a pan with no oil
and ‘toast’ for a few mins, stirring to
make sure they don’t burn. Cool the
seeds, then put into a blender and start
blending with ½ cup olive oil, adding
the oil a little at a time, until you have a
thick nut butter.
