Receta Pauline's world famous smoothie

Can you imagine my delight when Pauline made an exception and added a recipe to my book? It's deceptively simple and perfectly useful for everyday eating - the fruit smoothie. There are two elements here that I especially like. First, mango makes it especially sweet and juicy! ('Tisn't the season, so I bought mango in a can.) Second, a couple tablespoons of muesli give it some bulk and round it up to a full breakfast.

Unfortunately our blender is still out of action, so I was relying on our less hardy stick blender for my first few smoothies. It did an admirable job, and this made for multiple very handy breakfasts on the work-from-home winter workdays that I slept late and needed to eat at my desk.

Pauline's world famous smoothie

(a recipe from the Lab Farewell Cookbook)

Ingredients: banana, mango, berries, muesli, dairy-free yoghurt (I used coconut), almond milk.

Recipe: chuck everything in the blender and process the life out of it.

Bonus points: soak the muesli in a little almond milk ahead of time to soften its texture.
