4. Blend until smooth and creamy.

5. Strain the basil seeds and stir them gently into the smoothie.

6. Pour into jars or glasses and enjoy straight away.

Why These Ingredients Shine

Berries bring natural sweetness and are a source of antioxidants, giving this smoothie its vibrant colour and refreshing flavour. Basil seeds are rich in fibre and absorb water to create a gentle gel-like consistency, which can help you feel satisfied. Combined with cashews for creaminess, this smoothie is both nourishing and refreshing.

Sip, Share, and Feel Refreshed

Enjoy this smoothie as a quick breakfast, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or a post-workout refresher. It’s also a lovely drink to share with family or friends on a warm day.
