1 banana
250mls milk
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tablespoon honey
METHOD
Throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
Dairy-free milk - you can swap for any type of milk in this smoothie, as the protein comes mainly from the protein powder; however, if milk is your main source of calcium, ensure to choose a milk that is fortified with calcium
Spinach - if you're trying to increase your vegetable intake, you can sneak a serving of fresh or frozen spinach into the smoothie without noticing the difference
Sugar or maple syrup - if you don't have honey, the same quantity of table sugar or maple syrup will do
Nut butter - you can substitute peanut butter for almond butter or another nut butter if you prefer. The main source of protein is from the protein powder, so switching between nut butters will have a negligible impact on protein content
