  • Hi I'm Jools and we're going to make a really cool super smoothie today.

  • This is my son Buddy.

  • And he always helps me do this in the kitchen as it's really easy.

  • This is brilliant for me because I've got four children.

  • And it's kinda mayhem in the morning and it's absolutely crazy.

  • It's so quick and simple to make.

  • And also it's really, really healthy.

  • And sometimes they don't even know it.

  • Which is really nice.

  • Right so I'm going to start with frozen berries.

  • It gets a really lovely iced fresh feel.

  • So we're going to do one cup of the frozen fruit.

  • Which Buds is going to help me with. It's about 200 grams but as I can't be bothered with grams

  • I'm just going to use a cup.

  • Nice, thank you.

  • The next thing I'm going to do is pour in some almond milk.

  • Obviously having nuts is a really good thing for the kids as well.

  • It gives it a really nice flavour. Are you going to pour this in for me?

  • Next up natural yoghurt.

  • 6 tablespoons. Do you want to count for me? 1,2,3,4,5,6. Stop.

  • Ha ha. Perfect. Seven. That's all we need, six.

  • So that's just normal natural yoghurt I use, not flavoured, because again it's sweet enough and it's a lot healthier.

  • Next thing we're going to do is a banana. You only need one. It just adds a real consistency.

  • Any fruits that are looking a bit rough shove it in the blender. They'll never know.

  • Handful of porridge oats.

  • And you can use any. Fine mill. I've just got some chunky oats here.

  • It does give a nice consistency.

  • And it does keep them fuller for longer which is really good. So, you feel like you're doing a really good job

  • when you put those in.

  • My secret ingredient is my sunflower seeds.

  • Which actually some of the children don't like but when I put them in they didn't know.

  • I like those. You do actually. You're on of the children that does.

  • So put them in and

  • You can actually add anything you like. Anythign balanced works.

  • You don't have to have it in grams or measurements. You can see I really can't do that sort of thing.

  • That's not my way of cooking.

  • So, er, it's gonna be dead simple.

  • I'm going to turn it on now.

  • Done. Right we're going to have a quick check before we pour it out, just to check it's got the right consistency

  • because that's quite important. I know some people are quite fussy.

  • I know my kids are.

  • So if it is a bit thick. Yummy yummy. Yep, are you going to try it for me?

  • If it's too thick you can add a bit more of the almond milk, add a bit of water for quickness.

  • Or if it's not thick enough add another half of banana.

  • Buds is going to be our taste tester.

  • Actually looks really pretty.

  • So my girls will be really pleased with that.

  • Right let me know what you think. That's a big moment.

  • Nice?

  • I've got a bit left over so I'm going to have it for myself.

  • You can pour them into little lolly molds. Which is absolutely awesome. Buds loves therm.

  • It's kind of like a big treat for him which actually is the milkshake they had for breakfast but as a lolly.

  • Can add your lolly sticks in.

  • Bung in the freezer.

  • I don't know. 4-5 hours and they're done.

  • Buddy, do you want to get the things out of the freezer?

  • A mini jet size. It's like Dave's drunk Jamie.

  • How weird!

  • Can you see them?

  • No that's the frozen fruit.

  • Shall we, let me help you.

  • These are mango and mint and banana. Actually the same sort of thing.

  • With porridge oats, also we've got some sunflower seeds. So essentially it's just the mangos to get

  • the yellow colour.

  • Yeah. Ready Buds?

  • Run some hot water.

  • That should be enough.

  • Can you see if it'll come out for me? I hate doing this because I think it won't work.

  • Yeeah!

  • So, er, the main taste tester. What do you think, Buds?

  • It's very important.

  • So it is a thumbs up from Buddy which is massive.

  • Erm, I really hope you enjoyed that. Let me know i you enjoyed it or you want me to do something else

  • or try anything else.

  • Is that for me?

  • Oh thank you.

  • Can I have a taste?

  • That is so good. Better than Dads?
