1 tsp ground cinnamon
Raw honey, optional, to taste
2 tbsp chia seeds
Coconut flakes, to garnish
Mint, to garnish

METHOD
1. Blend together the banana, blueberries, walnuts, coconut milk or yoghurt and cinnamon until smooth. Taste to see if it needs a bit of sweetener – if so, add a teaspoon or two of honey.

3. Garnish with blueberries, walnuts, coconut flakes and mint, and serve.
