Banana Blueberry Smoothie

Smoothies are the perfect snack for busy Mamas, as you can prepare them and have them on the go! There are so many different combinations to meet your individual tastes and you can add other ingredients, for example oats or chia seeds to suit your taste and elimination diet requirements. It is also an easy way to include essential nutrients into your diet, which is often hard to do when tending to the needs of a baby and other family members.
