Now that I’m back into eating as well as I can (through the week anyway!), once again I’m drinking my awesome breakfast smoothie regularly, so I thought I’d share my recipe with you. I used to have this every morning before drama school last year: it’s really fast to make, I used to chuck it into a travel cup and drink on the way to school (great for mornings when you’ve pressed snooze one too many times!), it’s super healthy aaand is great for slow-releasing energy, meaning it would keep me going all the way to lunchtime!
You
will need:
A jug
A hand-held liquidiser or
fancy smoothie-making machine thing (which I’m yet to invest in!)
1 medium ripe banana
A small handful of frozen berries
– I usually
use blueberries, as their seeds are super tiny so I don’t have to chew my
smoothie!
1 heaped tsp peanut butter – I use smooth peanut butter,
resulting in a smoother smoothie(!) and I also use peanut butter which is made from
100% peanuts, making it sooo much better for you than the ones with yucky
additives such as nasty palm oil
2 tbsp. oats – I actually use Ready Brek
(or a supermarket own brand equivalent) as these oats are finer and often have
extra things like calcium and folic acid added
1 tbsp. natural low-fat
yogurt
½ cup milk
The
method:
Basically
chuck all the ingredients in the jug and liquidize!
Of
course, if you don’t consume dairy, then you can use the fantastic alternatives
out there, which I’m sure will make an equally wonderful smoothie, and provide other
nutritional value as well.
Do
you like smoothies? Have any recipes you can recommend? Let me know in the
comments :) Also, let me know if you try this one and what you think of it!

I love smoothies! My favourite right now is banana, frozen mango chunks, coconut greek yogurt, and coconut water. It's like a pina colada! Occasionally I'll throw in protein powder if I need something extra.

Oh my goodness, that sounds amaaazing. I love pina colada!! Thanks for that! :) x
DeleteI've been obsessed with smoothies lately! I've been doing mostly just fruit and spinach ones as an easy way to get more vitamins in the winter but yours sounds yummy as a whole meal.

Thanks! Yeah I don't drink this one as a normal drink/snack either as it's so filling, but I'm looking at other recipes as well which are lighter and will give me different fruits/veg! :) x
DeleteYou've reminded me how much I used to love smoothies! I'm really not sure what made me stop drinking them but I'm definitely going to give your recipe a try!
