Why it works

Strawberries are bright and slightly tart; peaches are mellow and floral. Together they taste like a fruit stall in high summer. Using both frozen means the smoothie comes out properly cold and thick without any ice watering it down. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, and the soaked oats make it substantial: about 525 calories and 21g protein per serving.

Serving ideas

Pour it into a bowl, add sliced fresh fruit and a handful of granola, and it becomes a smoothie bowl. In a glass, a few chopped strawberries on top make it look like you planned ahead.

Swaps

Mango can replace the peach. Tinned peaches, drained, work in winter with a couple of ice cubes. Add honey only if the fruit is tart. No DIY Oats jar at home? Soak rolled oats, milk, chia seeds and a few almonds overnight and blend that in.

Storage

Best fresh. If you are taking it to work, a sealed bottle in the fridge holds it for a few hours; shake well, since it thickens as it stands. The Ministry would like it noted that this counts as forward planning.
