Top Tips – Almond and Raspberry Breakfast Smoothie

It would be ideal if you can leave this in the fridge overnight before making. Otherwise soaking for a minimum of 40 minutes works well.

Frozen raspberries are perfect for this smoothie. If raspberries are in season go for fresh. Both work well.

Gluten-free oats, plant milk and nuts are some of my core store cupboard essentials. I eat both several times a week. They are versatile and delicious ingredients. I would be lost without them!
