Blueberry, Blackberry & Acai Smoothie
This nutrient packed Smoothie is a winner as a meal replacement or breakfast. Acia powder is available in most health food shops and you can also buy it online. Acai hails from South America; a super food of note and incredibly popular in Brazil. Fruit juice is a great way to make non dairy smoothies… They can add unnecessary sweetness though, so dilute the juice with some water if you don’t want those extra calories!

Method
1. Using either your food processor/nutri bullet/stick blender blitz together your smoothie ingredients, adding as much liquid as you prefer. Test the sweetness and adjust sweetness by adding a bit of honey if you would like.
2. If the blender blade gets stuck and wont blend, stop and scrape down or mix ingredients with a spoon and repeat blending. Sometimes the mix needs a little bit of coaxing to finish blending. If its really struggling add a bit more liquid. If you have gone too far with adding liquid, remember you can always stiffen it up again by placing a bit more frozen fruit into the mix.
3. Place in a bowl and top any suitable toppings and serve immediately.
