Sore throat friendly smoothies

November 7, 2012 by Katie Bryson

Berry breakfast smoothie

Half term was somewhat blighted by illness in the Feeding Boys house, and for two hideous days my throat was so sore I couldn’t swallow proper food. Now that’s just miserable. End of. But to try and get some nutrition into my germ-ridden self I whizzed up some of these breakfast smoothies in the blender.

The combination of frozen fruit, cold milk and sweet bananas is like nectar on a throat that feels like motorbikes have been doing wheel spins on it.

I’m a huge fan of the bags of frozen fruit you get from Sainsburys – it means you can eat summer fruits all year around without running up a lot of food miles and they’re also mega cheap. I keep bags of raspberries, mangoes and mixed summer berries in my freezer for smoothies, home made ice cream or for stirring into muffins.

So if you’re looking for a liquid breakfast idea or have a sore throat that needs soothing, this recipe is for you!

Berry breakfast smoothies

1 banana
1 large handful frozen berries
500ml milk
1 squeeze of clear honey

1. Plonk everything into the blender and blitz until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

It doesn’t keep – it starts to look like swamp water if you leave it hanging around – so drink it all up right away!

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
