Now that the holiday festivities are over, we are all trying to eat better and move more but that can be easier said than done. Getting fruit and veg into our diets can sometimes mean sludgy smoothies and uninspiring soups which is why we’re kicking off the New Year by encouraging you to play with your food! We’ve teamed up with nutritionist @madeleine_shaw_ to create some flavourful and nutritious recipes using our nifty VitaPower blender that will unleash your creativity and help you to make some edible works of art!

To make the chia pudding base mix the 230ml milk, chia seeds and vanilla extract together. Leave to sit, stirring every few mins for 15 mins. While the chia seeds are soaking up the milk, pop the 300ml of oat milk, the raspberries, banana and peanut butter into the blender. Blend for 2 minutes.
