Sea buckthorn: Unlike the blackthorn, the sea buckthorn belongs to the oleaster family. It is also covered in thorns. It owes its name to the fact that it thrives on sandy ground. The striking red color of the berries has led to sea buckthorn also being called orange berry bush, coral bush or red blackthorn. The berries of the sea buckthorn are used to make jams, cakes and other desserts, as well as juices. The plant is particularly well-known for the high vitamin C content of its fruits. The berries are a traditional remedy that has been used for thousands of years to treat all kinds of ailments.

Bananas: Bananas contain a very well-balanced mix of carbohydrates. As far as trace elements are concerned, bananas are the richest in copper of all known fruits. They also contain more iron than most fruits, are rich in potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and have a relatively high manganese content for a fruit.

Oat milk: Oat milk (EU: oat drink) is made from oats and water. Oat milk is suitable as a cow's milk substitute and is easy to prepare yourself (see "Alternative preparation").

Flaxseed: Flaxseed is the seed of the flax plant (common flax, Linum usitatissimum). Flaxseed has a slightly nutty taste and a fat content of around 40%. With around 50% of the polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, this has the highest concentration of omega-3 fatty acids of all known vegetable oils. Those who eat a lot of industrial food should increase the amount of flaxseed in their diet and correct any nutritional errors in this regard.

Dried berries: Since it is very difficult to get fresh berries depending on the country, we used dried sea buckthorn berries for the preparation, as shown in the picture. If you use dried berries, you will need to soak them for 30-60 minutes (see step 1). To convert, you can assume that 1 teaspoon of dried berries is equivalent to about 1 tablespoon of fresh berries.
