Let me share my early breakfast recipe with you! Energy Kick Smoothie is made out of bananas, strawberries and ginger. Ginger adds a bright kick to this creamy and full of energy smoothie. Definitely better wake-up call than coffee. I am not even talking about health benefits.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup filtered water
• 2 bananas, peeled and cut into chunks
• 6 fresh or frozen strawberries, rinsed and hulled if fresh
• 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled
• 1 teaspoon agave nectar, turbinado sugar, or honey (optional)

Preparation:

Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Best with delicious 1000% raw berry cheeky nakd bar.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: For interested UK visitors only. Nakd bars can be found at Tesco or even cheaper at Amazon). Not sure if those bars can be bought anywhere else.

Raw Mango Lassi is a very nourishing and refreshing raw food smoothie, which is favoured by everyone especially during the summer. It is very easy and quick to make.

• 150ml/5fl oz filtered water
