Today was all about the breakfast smoothie - literally because I didn't have the time to sit down and eat properly, I simply whacked all of this little lot in the blender and drank down my brekkie instead:
INGREDIENTS:
I started with:
- a glass of skimmed milk
- half a banana
- half a cup of bran flakes
- a handful of almonds
- a teaspoon of local honey
METHOD:
Put all of that in the blender and blend for a bout 30 seconds!
RESULT:
OPTIONS:
- Instead of skimmed milk you could use almond milk, or oat milk would be great too, especially the chocolate flavoured variety!
- To make it thicker you could add more bran, more banana, or some natural yoghurt
- To sweeten you could use maple syrup instead of honey, you could use more banana, or you could add some peanut butter, some chocolate milk or some chocolate chips too!
TIPS:
This was the first time I've made this smoothie, so to make it even better next time and for you to do better than me
- make sure you only blend for approx 30-40 secs otherwise I found the heat from the blender heated it slightly and it would have been tastier colder
- use ice cold milk (or ice cold/frozen yoghurt if you're adding that too)
- add a couple ice cubes (remembering this will thin the mixture so you may want to add a little more bran to compensate)
- if you're counting the calories use skimmed milk, no honey/syrup/peanut butter, plus try using fewer high calorie almonds and a little more bran to compensate and give the same consistency
