I'm not a big fan of eating in the mornings so a smoothie is the perfect option. This is my current favourite...
Ingredients
1 banana
handful frozen berries
a few leaves of chard (or spinach)
Soya/Rice/Coconut milk
Protein powder & instant oats (optional)
Method
Put all the ingredients in a blender and whizz. Keep adding soya milk until you get to the consistency you want - I like mine quite thick. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
What's so good?
Bananas - full of slow releasing carbohydrates for energy, potassium to keep your blood pressure down and loads of vitamin B6 to help boost the immune system.
Berries - packed with anti-oxidants for clear skin and vitamin c to boost your immune system even more.
Chard - loads and loads of vitamins!
I love smoothies for breakfast. Often go with this but minus the chard. I'll add some in next time. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI also tend to steer clear of bananas because of all the sugar but I love freezing a banana and then using half in a smoothie like this because it gives it the consistency of a proper milkshake.
Love the frozen banana idea I'll have to try it! If you do add some chard just use a tiny amount at first to get used to the flavour. x
