This smoothie is nutrient-rich, filling and wholesome. With an added oaty flavour from the crickets, it makes the perfect substitute for traditional protein powders and supplements. The crickets add a boost of protein, fibre, Omegas 3&6, iron, calcium, Vit B12 plus many loads more micronutrients. The mealworms then add additional high-quality nutrients.

The best bit is that the nutrients in insects are incredibly sustainable. Insects require a tiny proportion of the land, resources and energy compared to conventional livestock. Plus insects have more hidden nutritional benefits.

This dish is so easy and quick to make, helping you choose healthier and sustainable foods even with a busy schedule. Let us know if you agree this smoothing is berry bliss and boost your day!
