Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Peel the bananas and break them into your blender. Slice the nectarine flesh off the stones (no need to peel) and pop the flesh into the blender. Slice 1cm off the thumb of ginger, peel and roughly chop it. Add the ginger to the blender.

  • 2.

    Tip the flax seeds and a few ice cubes into the blender. Pour in the hazelnut drink and blitz till smooth. Pour into glasses to serve.

  • Tip

    Nice & freezey
    For a creamier, thicker smoothie, place your chopped bananas into a freezerproof bag or tub. Freeze for at least 6 hours to overnight before blending.

  • Tip

    I dream of nectarines
    You may find an extra nectarine or 2 in your box this week. You can use all of them in the smoothie (you'll need a big blender and this will affect the nutritional information), or keep them in your fridge till the night before you want to use them. Then pop them in a bowl to let them ripen up overnight. Try halving and grilling them to just browned. Serve with a spoonful of yogurt or ricotta and some toasted nuts or seeds.
