These macadamia nut smoothies will make your morning meal feel like a decadent indulgence.
Smoothies are a great option for summer mornings. Simply rise, throw a few ingredients into a blender, blitz to perfection and you are ready to shine!
They are portable and kid-friendly which make them perfect for busy families – and with so many options there is a smoothie to suit every eating style and flavour palette.
However, if your morning smoothie starts to feel a little ho-hum, why not try incorporating macadamias into the mix? Their delicious creamy crunch can make your smoothie special and even add a touch of luxury to your morning.
Add a handful of nuts to your usual recipe
Adding a handful of raw macadamia nuts to your morning smoothie is a great way to add extra heart and brain-healthy antioxidants to your day!
Macadamias are naturally gluten-free, low in sugar, very low in salt and low-carb. They’re full of fibre for a happy gut, and have good amounts of essential vitamins and minerals like thiamine and manganese.
Simply throw the nuts into a high-powered blender with your other ingredients.
If you find you still have chunks of nut, when you would prefer your smoothie to be more, well, smooth, try adding a spoonful of macadamia butter instead, as in this macadamia banana smoothie recipe.
