ALMOND MILK & BANANA BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE
We recently rescued 1000 litres of almond milk from going to waste as it had only a month left on the ‘best before’ date. We would like to thank Ralph Utto, the head chef of Foodcloud for providing us with a delicious breakfast smoothie recipe to use up all that almond milk! It’s also a great way to use up those too ripe bananas you forgot to eat (hot tip: when your bananas become overripe, just peel them and pop them in a container in the freezer, ready to use for your next smoothie). This drink is great to get your day started, or a nutritious source of protein for after the gym.
Ingredients
- 40 g porridge oats or rolled oats
- 50 g nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew)
- 1 ripened banana
- 250 ml almond milk
- 1 tsp cocoa powder (optional)
- 50 g blueberries (optional)
- 3 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender jug add your oats, nut butter, ripened banana (the more ripe the sweeter the taste) almond milk and ice cubes.
- Blend till it’s smooth and enjoy.
Tips
- **If the blender is not very powerful it could turn a bit grainy.**To avoid that from happening add oats first with nothing else and blend it until oats turn into a flour like powder. Then add all other ingredients, blend and enjoy!
