Breakfast in a glass

A breakfast smoothie

Its one of those morning where I am lazy, no bread in the kitchen, dont feel like cooking anything but there are two small overripe bananas looking at me and yours truly is suddenly happy. So here I go and make a big maxi glass of breakfast. You an easily make it into a vegan smoothie by substituting the normal milk either with almond or soya milk. For this creamy and fulfilling banana shake cum breakfast glass you will need: 


  • 1 big or two small ripe bananas

  • 2 dates, pitted

  • 1 tbsp of almond powder

  • 1/2 tbsp of chia seeds (soaked before)

  • 1 tbsp of protein powder

  • 1 glass milk or almond milk


  1. Peel the bananas and put them in the blender.

  2. Add milk and the rest of the ingredients too.

  3. Blitz it until nice, creamy and frothy. I even topped it with some caramalised Almonds I had.

  4. Enjoy. Its a very fulfilling drink, makes a good breakfast and it's also great to take to the gym or on the go if you are running late.

Ps: In my opinion the best result I get from this drink is when the bananas are ripe. I have tried it with normal unriped bananas too but I prefer this way. The result is much creamier and flavour very mild. Its the same for me when I bake a banana bread, the riper the banans the better the bread. But you can try both the ways. Have a lovely summer day.
