I am always on the lookout for something new and nutritious for the family and I love these drinks by The Berry Company. They are one of our favourite UK brands at the moment and they use such a huge variety of nutritious berries in their juice blends.

They went down well with the kids, especially at breakfast time and its great to know they are getting something with such awesome ingredients to drink at this time of day.

These are a selection of my faves above! I love the Superberries one, it tasted so good in a smoothie. You can find the ingredients at https://theberrycompany.co.uk/flavours/superberries-purple

I tried a few different recipes with these drinks but to be honest they work best served straight in a glass with ice or diluted with water. They do work well in smoothies though and are really nice gently warmed with a few spices for a cold winters night drink.

They also have a delicious selection of their own cocktail recipes which do work well with alcohol free gin too! https://theberrycompany.co.uk/our-recipes

You can find them at Holland and Barrett, Ocado, Waitrose and most of these places even deliver from their online stores.

“Our delicious juice blends our now all made from natural ingredients, without added sugar or any added sweeteners. We continue to pride ourselves on sourcing the best and most exotic ingredients and botanicals from around the world that deliver light and balanced flavours, full of taste and goodness. ” The Berry Company Website

They also have no added sugar, are suitable for vegans and are free from any additional artificial ingredients.

These products were gifted and these are my own personal opinions.

Very Berry Smoothie Bowl

I made this super delicious Superfood smoothie bowl for a lazy Sunday breakfast treat. I topped it off with a crunchy coconut oat granola, some dates, a spoon of peanut butter, flaxseeds and a slice of blood red orange (my fave!)

Check out the ingredients and instructions below to make your own delicious and nutritious smoothie bowl

Ingredients

Smoothie –

2 cups of frozen mixed berries

1 banana

2 tbsp of live coconut yoghurt

3-4tbsp of chia seeds

Other Toppings –

Flaxseeds

Medjool Dates

Peanut Butter

Oat Topping –

1 tbsp of coconut oil

1 cup oats

1/2 cup of shredded coconut

3-4 tbsp of sunflower seeds

1 tsp of Manuka honey or alternative sweetener

This recipe is super easy all you have to do is blend up all the smoothie ingredients with just enough water to create a thick smoothie. Heat the coconut oil gently in a small pan and add the oats, coconut and sunflower seeds. Stir lightly over a medium heat until lightly browned. Add in the honey and stir through (do not cook!).

Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl, top with the oat topping and the other toppings. You can change the toppings and quantities to your liking should you wish to use other things.

Enjoy! 😀
