Green Breakfast Smoothie


zac loves this and it is a great way to get iron, essential fatty acids, vitamin C and protein in him. it was one of the first foods we gave him.

30g raw unsalted nuts (eg almonds, pecans, brazil or walnuts), soaked overnight

1 T chia seeds or linseeds (if you don't have a good blender, you may need to grind separately)

tsp green food powder (eg spirulina or green algae powder)

tsp raw brown rice protein powder

half an average sized banana

handful of blueberries

lettuce or spinach leaves

1/8 C rolled oats soaked and cooked

Blend everything except for the oats with enough water to get the consistency you want. Stir oats through. (include oats in the blend for younger babies).
