MONDAY: COCONUT ALMOND SUPERFOOD SMOOTHIE

It's Monday, a perfect day to indulge your nut butter obsession. If you've taken eating peanut butter sachets to new levels (in the office at your desk for example) then this smoothie will be your new favourite.

Also, if you've managed to get yourself to the gym, it's a great post-workout shake.

Simply put, knowing there's a beaker brimming with smoothie waiting in our gym bags is the difference between half-hearted deadlifts and powering through our last set with precision. That's why this week we've turned to Pippa Murray, founder of Pip & Nut - the trendy new nut butter brand - for her take on the post-workout classic.

If you've been suffering from a peanut butter overload then a switch to coconut almond butter is for you too.
