The Fell Foodie’s berry and banana smoothie recipe

Whizz up this simple and nutritious smoothie – ideal for post-swim adventures. Recipe by the Fell Foodie, Harrison Ward.

Sure, you could just pop to the shop and grab one ready-made, but imagine the feeling of smugness if you’ve made your own. Everyone you bump into on your walk will be jealous, I promise. It also justifies that lockdown-purchase smoothie maker which you said you’d use regularly. Frozen fruit will make this one more economical if creating it on the regular, or grab yourself a 100 per cent discount code from Mother Nature by foraging brambles between August and September. Just be sure to leave some for the critters to feast on.
