Banana Smoothie

Serves 1

I'm really fussy when it comes to breakfast. I'm not a big cereal fan and toast sets me up badly for the rest of the day and let's face it - porridge gets a little boring after a while! I'm also a terrible timekeeper so often find myself running late so extravagant breakfasts are a no-go. My favourite to-go-to is a filling, delicious smoothie, perfectly represented by this banana smoothie recipe. The chia seeds make this a more filling recipe, but for an even thicker, fulfilling smoothie, add some oats. The maca powder in this provides a lovely sweet caramel flavour and is a wonderful source of Vit C, copper and iron and is claimed to improve endurance and libido (naughty). The ripe banana makes the smoothie perfectly sweet and is great for your daily dose of potassium.

Ingredients
1 ripe banana
1/2 Medjool dates (to increase sweetness as desired)
1/2 cup of milk
1 tbsp chia
Sprinkle Hemp Seeds
1/4 cup oats (optional)
1 tsp Maca powder (optional)


Method
Blend all ingredients together, adding more milk for a thinner smoothie. Top with additional hulled hemp seeds, berries, banana and/or chia.
