Prep time: 3mins

Complex Carbohydrates

Complex carbs pack in more nutrients than simple carbs. They’re also higher in fibre and digest more slowly. This makes them more filling, which means they're a good option for weight control.

2 Handfuls of frozen summer berries or forest fruits:

  • Raspberries
  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Mango

Healthy Fats

Healthy fats provide energy, support cell growth, protect organs, and keep your body warm. Healthy fats lower the risks of heart disease, stroke and even helps to lower blood pressure.

  • 1 dessertspoon Milled Flaxseed
  • 1/4 Avocado

Protein

Protein is one of the three major nutrients, along with carbohydrates and fat, in our diets. Protein helps to build your muscles, boost the immune system and also help you feel fuller for longer.

  • 40g of full-fat natural yoghurt
  • 100ml of Milk / Coconut Water
