ALMOND MILK & BANANA BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

ALMOND MILK & BANANA BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

Almond Milk & Banana Breakfast Smoothie

By Director – Josh Ball ·  · 4 min read

ALMOND MILK & BANANA BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

We recently rescued 1000 litres of almond milk from going to waste as it had only a month left on the ‘best before’ date. We would like to thank Ralph Utto, the head chef of Foodcloud for providing us with a delicious breakfast smoothie recipe to use up all that almond milk! It’s also a great way to use up those too ripe bananas you forgot to eat (hot tip: when your bananas become overripe, just peel them and pop them in a container in the freezer, ready to use for your next smoothie). This drink is great to get your day started, or a nutritious source of protein for after the gym.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Course Breakfast
Cuisine Smoothie
Servings 1 Serving

Ingredients
  

  • 40 g porridge oats or rolled oats
  • 50 g nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew)
  • 1 ripened banana
  • 250 ml almond milk
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder (optional)
  • 50 g blueberries (optional)
  • 3 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a blender jug add your oats, nut butter, ripened banana (the more ripe the sweeter the taste) almond milk and ice cubes.
  • Blend till it’s smooth and enjoy.

Tips

  • **If the blender is not very powerful it could turn a bit grainy.**To avoid that from happening add oats first with nothing else and blend it until oats turn into a flour like powder. Then add all other ingredients, blend and enjoy!

CELERIAC REMOULADE WITH OLIVE OIL MAYONNAISE

Celeriac Remoulade with Olive Oil Mayonaise

Celeriac Remoulade with Olive oil Mayonnaise

We're thrilled to announce that we've recently connected with Ralph Utto, the head chef of Foodcloud, a remarkable not-for-profit social enterprise based in Dublin addressing the pressing challenges of food waste and food security. We’re excited to present Ralph’s sensational recipe that showcases the incredible versatility of celeriac — Celeriac Remoulade. Discover the tantalising fusion of flavours in our Celeriac Remoulade recipe, a delightful combination of refreshing celeriac and homemade olive oil mayonnaise. Elevate your culinary skills by mastering two recipes in one!
Prep Time 30 minutes
Course Side Dish
Cuisine Salad
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

Celeriac Remoulade

  • Approx 500 g celeriac (about ⅔ of a smallish head)
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 4 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 75 ml olive oil mayonnaise (refer below for method)
  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Small bunch of Chives or spring onion

Olive oil Mayonnaise

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

Celeriac Remoulade

  • Peel the celeriac, then cut it into very thin strips; you can use a food processor or julienne cutter, or cut it into 1.mm-thin slices, stack these on top of each other and cut into batons of a similar thickness. As you work, periodically squeeze the lemon juice on top of the cut celeriac, to stop it discolouring.
  • Rinse the celeriac in cold water and place in a bowl.
  • Add whole grain mustard
  • Add Sherry vinegar and leave for 20 min
  • Add olive oil mayonnaise and season to taste.
  • Finely cut chives or spring onions and add to the remoulade.

Olive oil Mayonnaise

  • Place egg yolk, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until combined (for about 30 seconds).
  • With the food processor running, pour olive oil into the mixture in a very thin (and slow-moving) stream. Continue to blend until it has thickened. If your mayonnaise is too thick, add a little water to thin it out.
  • If using a blender add all ingredients and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
