My morning smoothie

I’m not a morning person. At all. And as far as breakfast is concerned (which I never miss), I usually don’t even want to have to chew anything. (Exhausting.)

And that’s where the frozen banana peanut butter smoothie comes in handy.

Here’s now to make it: Take one frozen banana (that you’ve previously peeled and have wrapped in plastic wrap) from the freezer. Unwrap and break into a few chunks. Pop it in the blender and top with about ½ cup of milk, 1/2 cup plain low fat yoghurt, a tsp of honey and 2 tsp of peanut butter. Blitz until smooth and then pour into a tall glass.

Now you’re ready to start the day.

My daily snack

Banana and peanut butter -- good to go any time of the day. And it's a snack I have all the time simply because I always have bananas and peanut butter on hand. 

And yet, there's more to it than that. It tastes great, and nutritionally speaking, it's what I'd call a complete snack. 

Just remember to spread the peanut butter on the banana before slicing.
