Recipe: super-quick breakfast smoothie


We all know that skipping breakfast isn’t the best decision of our day, right? Chances are you’ve gone 10-12 hours without food and without a morning meal – even in just this short period – your metabolism starts to slow.
If you’re short on time in the morning or find it hard to stomach much at stupid o’ clock, read on friends, for I may just have the solution. An energy-packed protein punch for the time poor…



Oat Protein Breakfast Smoothie
Serves:1
Calories: 406
Fat: 6g
Saturated fat: 1g
Carbohydrate: 62g
Protein: 32g
You will need:
200ml Almond milk
40g Dry porridge oats
1 Banana, roughly chopped
1 Scoop protein powder (I use Bio-Synergy Active Woman Activate but unflavoured whey protein will give a better protein content)
Directions:
1. Pour the milk into a blender or smoothie maker
2. Bung the other ingedients in
3. Whizz until smooth (add more milk if you don’t like it so thick)
4. Enjoy
This takes minutes to prepare and is perfect for taking to work/on the bus/in the car in a flask. It’s also a perfect post-gym meal thanks to the high protein content.
N.B. These are also great for kids – minus the protein powder – and perfect for when they’re a bit under the weather and off their food but you still want to get the good stuff in. Add yoghurt or honey to make it more tasty.
