Okay we lied, this super smoothie isn't just great before you hit the gym, it's also lovely to sip on in the morning, when you hit an afternoon slump or even while you are picnicking in the park. It's also a simple smoothie that you can whizz up at home in a matter of minutes. Feeling creative? Why not add in some extra superfoods, herbs, nuts or spends to really make this pine pollen smoothie your own. If you'd like your smoothie to have more of an ice cream texture (or should we say 'nice cream'), then peel the bananas and pop them in the freezer before you use them.
