Feed the Beast (Part 2)

We're back with another meal option for you to try out, again making use of all those berries growing naturally out there, just dying to add nutrition to your diet!

Smoothie
Ingredients:

250g of flavourless, fat-free quark (maustamaton, rasvaton maitorahka)
1 tbsp of runny honey (juokseva hunaja)
1 tsp of ground cinnamon (kaneli)
1 dl oats (kaurahiutale)
1 tsp of L-glutamine powder (optional)
A large handful of fresh blueberries (frozen are also fine) (mustikka)
A large handful of other mixed berries (again, frozen are fine) (marjasekoitus)
A small handful of almond flakes (mantelilastu)
Milk (the amount depends on how thick you want your smoothie - some quarks are also looser than others) (maito)

Option: Add a kiwi fruit for an added health kick - they contain a good dose of vitamin C, vitamin E, dietary fiber, potassium and magnesium, plus they're nice and sweet when they are ripe!

Method:

Blend together all the ingredients except the milk and in a blender or by putting them in a deep jug and using a hand blender. Add milk according to taste and preference on thickness.

 

Verdict:

 

We used it as a breakfast option, but it could also work as a snack. We enjoyed it because it gave us something fresh first thing in the morning. It's also surprisingly filling and it happily got us through a morning workout.
