Back to School Bircher
Loaded with fibre, oats are a brilliant brain food for kids. They’re also are good sources of vitamin E, B-vitamins, potassium and zinc, which make our bodies and brains function at full capacity. Perfect school fuel.

- 2 eggs
- Blueberries
- Maple Syrup

- Whisk together 2-3 (200g) mashed ripe bananas with 2 eggs to make a batter.
- Stir in 25g blueberries, saving 25g to serve.
- Gently fry 3 tbsp of batter in hot butter for 30 secs – 1 min each side.

Get Up and Go Breakfast Smoothie
For smooth morning sailing, this is our go to morning recipe. We love swirling peanut butter through our smoothies for a beautiful marbled effect. Peanuts and peanut butter are a great source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects nervous membranes, plus thiamin to help the brain and nervous system use glucose for energy. Slurp up.
Ingredients:
- 1 banana
- 1 big handful of spinach (35g)
- 2 handfuls of frozen berries (these keep it cool and are much cheaper than fresh berries, but fresh berries and a little ice work perfectly instead) (80g)
- 1 cup of almond milk (250ml)
- 3 tablespoons of oats
- Top with sliced banana and peanut butter swirls
Method:
- Whizz everything together in a magimix, fill a tall glass tumbler and swirl in peanut butter at the end for a marbled effect. Top with sliced banana
