Almond & oat protein smoothie

This is a protein packed smoothie that I’m loving at the moment. I use unflavoured pea or organic whey protein.

If you have a flavoured powder it will obviously change the balance of the smoothie, but even if it doesn’t taste like mine, you’ll still get the same nutritional benefit.

Ingredients

Serves 2

• 250g banana (frozen ideally)

• 2 tbsp almond butter (or any nut butter you prefer)

• 2 tsp pea protein powder

• 2 tbsp oats

• 1/2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

• 400ml nut milk or organic whole

Method

• Blitz really well as the oats take a bit longer to break down

Banana & almond protein smoothie

This is one of my favourite breakfast smoothies, it’s quick, easy and the perfect if you need breakfast on the go or before exercise. I often make one on a Saturday or Sunday morning to keep me going until brunch as it’s just the right amount of energy I need to do a workout without feeling too full.

Ingredients

• 250ml nut milk or organic whole

• 1/2 banana (70g)

• 1 tbsp chia seeds 

• 1 tbsp almond (or any nut) butter

Tip

• If you’re using a plant milk, check the label to make sure there are only two ingredients in it: nuts and water! Many contain hidden emulsifiers, preservatives, seed oils and sugar.
