Avoid the 11am crash by whizzing up this Tropical Green Smoothie for breakfast. Created by dietitian and nutrition expert Dr Linia Patel, it contains yoghurt and hemp for protein, while the avocado and hemp add unsaturated fats (replacing sat fats with unsaturated has been shown to lower blood cholesterol). Plus, it’s a source of magnesium and other micronutrients – and it only takes two minutes to make.Time and servings
