INGREDIENTS

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
