Ingredients

• 2 oranges
• 2 cups (300 g) frozen fruit (see Note)
• 1 banana
• ¼ cup (25 g) oats
• 1 cup (250 ml) plain or vanilla yoghurt
• 1 cup (250 ml) milk, regular or plant-based
• 1½ tbsp fresh grated ginger (or to taste)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1½ tsp honey

Instructions

1. Zest the oranges into a stand or large smoothie blender. Peel the oranges and add into the blender along with the frozen fruit, banana, oats, yogurt, and milk. Grate over the fresh ginger and add the cinnamon and honey.
2. Blitz on high for 1 minute until smooth.

Note

I used a mixture of pineapple, mango and peach for the frozen fruit, but any fruit will do.
