Simple Feijoa Smoothie
Here's a simple way to enjoy the bounty of feijoas that currently surround us at this time of year. They are quite literally everywhere! We live a hop, skip and jump from the family feijoa orchard so fresh fruit is always in plentiful supply in Autumn. Feijoas are a rich source of fibre and Vitamin C which are important for digestion, gut health and immunity amongst many other health benefits. I like to enjoy my smoothie with a tablespoon of muesli or nuts on top to add some crunch!
A great breakfast for those that want something light yet nutritious or as a snack between meals. If you're enjoying this smoothie as a post-workout snack, you can always add a scoop of high-quality whey protein powder to increase the protein content to support optimal muscle repair and recovery immediately after training. Protein powder for adults only though - supplements are not appropriate for children.
