Smoothie with chocolate

Make kids’ favourite foods using ingredients that keep their bodies – and brains – in tip-top condition. Children love milkshakes. For an ideal light lunch make them with berries – which are packed with antioxidants – and yoghurt instead of ice cream. Add a little chocolate but make sure it’s dark chocolate which contains antioxidants.

INGREDIENTS:

100 g dark chocolate, melted;

1 banana, peeled (optional);

250 ml (1 c) strawberries, chopped;

250 ml (1 c) blueberries;

250 ml (1 c) mulberries;

juice of 1 lemon;

125 ml (½ c) plain yoghurt;

60 ml (¼ c) milk; chopped nuts such as almonds for sprinkling (optional);

extra berries for garnishing (optional)

METHOD:

Place all the ingredients (except the optional nuts and extra berries) in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour into glasses and top with the nuts and extra berries (if using).
