Milk/95 recipes

This delicious and creamy avocado smoothie makes such a fantastic breakfast or snack. It’s high in fibre, vitamin K, potassium and folate – and has only 166 calories per glass. We’ve used coconut cream in this recipe, which is the cream from a can of full fat coconut milk that’s been left refrigerated. If you find this recipe too creamy for you, you can also add some of the liquid from the can too.

This quick and easy vanilla porridge recipe is our new favourite breakfast, do we always say that? It’s super easy to make, delicious, creamy and naturally sweet. You can play around with the toppings and use any mixture of your favourite nuts and fruits. We’ve gone for cranberries, nectarines, banana, walnuts and dried apricots and it was delicious. If you like your porridge super creamy – a good tip is to soak them in the milk overnight before cooking.

This delicious tropical smoothie is super healthy, refreshing and full of nutrition. At only 183 calories per serving and lots of nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin K, calcium, potassium and even protein from the soya milk, there’s no excuse not to give it a try. If you like the idea of a green smoothie but find the taste of them a little bit bitter, then this recipe is definitely for you. The blend of banana, pineapple and orange juice together give a sweet and succulent taste – it’s incredible.

Give a warm welcome to this cool smoothie. Mint has traditionally had a role in welcoming guests throughout history, and by many different cultures. The ancient Greeks rubbed mint leaves on the dining tables to greet guests, mint tea is offered to guests in the Middle East and many cultures boil the leaves to freshen the air. This is also the recipe to say goodbye – to stomach problems – mint has a soothing effect on the digestive tract, relieving symptoms of indigestion, cucumber too is high in fibre, also good for digestive health and pineapple contains a digesting enzyme that is unique to pineapples, Bromelain. Bromelain is know to be good for brain health, also, when you are cooking one of our delicious meat recipes, the meat can be tenderized with pineapple because the Bromelain breaks down the meat proteins. Cucumbers are cool too, they are mainly water, 95% in fact, making them ideal for hydration. Cucumbers contain polyphenols called lignans which are considered helpful in lowering the risk of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. Be prepared to be bowled over by this smoothie!

This healthy and delicious alcohol-free Pina Colada is so refreshing. It makes an amazing alternative to a regular Pina Colada using just fresh fruit and coconut milk – it tastes like sunshine in a glass. Transport yourself to a tropical paradise and give it a try!
