4 simple, low-cost
smoothies

a breakfast smoothie to start your day

Whether for a quick breakfast on the go or to kickstart your day, this high-protein smoothie will please your entire family. Simply add milk, chunks of banana, a spoonful of peanut butter, and a spoonful of Selection honey in a food processor. Pulse until you get the texture you want.

Peanut butter is the most affordable option, but you can also use other nut butters such as cashew or almond. If anyone in your family suffers from nut allergies, you should obviously use another protein. Vanilla Greek yogurt can be a good option in this instance.

Practical tips:

• Don't forget protein! Whether you use nuts, Greek yogurt, or soft tofu, protein is the key ingredient to a smoothie that can sustain you until your next meal.
• To create new flavours or for a lactose-free drink, use plant-based beverages such as almond or soy milk. It's a low-cost option that will boost your routine!
• You can adjust the amount of ingredients in line with your tastes and preferences. Don't be afraid to improvise to find a combination that your whole family will love!

A dessert smoothie for your family

Perfect for kids, this smoothie can be enjoyed as a dessert and can even be a tasty alternative to a bowl of ice cream. Combine the following ingredients in the food processor: frozen fruit, vanilla yogurt, a bit of milk, and a few cubes of soft tofu. That way you can avoid adding sugar. If you want even more protein, simply add nuts.

Cost-saving tip: Your Super C has Irresistibles mixed nuts at a low price.

A smoothie to get your fill of vitamins

If you're feeling peckish in the afternoon, enjoy a smoothie! Simply add a few chunks of Selection frozen mango and vanilla soy beverage in a food processor. These two ingredients are a delightful pairing and will provide you with the energy you need to get through your day. Mango is packed with vitamins while the soy beverage contains plenty of fibre. For even more protein, use an enriched soy beverage or add a bit of Greek yogurt. You can also add any fresh fruit you have such as strawberries or bananas.

Practical tip: if you want to indulge your sweet tooth, you can use juice instead of the soy beverage or add natural sugars such as honey or maple syrup. Keep an eye on flyer deals to enjoy maximum savings on your favourite ingredients.

An energizing smoothie

Feeling a bit tired? This smoothie will provide you with a boost of energy to get to your next meal. Add kale or spinach, apple slices, a bit of ginger, and orange juice in your food processor.

The energizing secret is the ginger! It will add a bit of a kick that will wake you up. You can also add soft tofu for a thicker drink. It will not alter the flavour of your smoothie, but it will create an enjoyably smooth texture.

Practical tip: for a refreshingly cold smoothie, you can use frozen fruit or add a few ice cubes.
