I'm back with another breakfast recipe only this time it's a smoothie and breakfast rolled into one serving.

Nowadays you will find plenty of people opting for a smoothie in the morning as opposed to cooking or even eating cereal.

There is no golden rule when it comes to breakfast time, it's simply a case of what's considered the "social norm" but gone are the days of cereal and/or a fried breakfast.

I personally don't have an issue with what one eats for breakfast just as long as it's "healthy" - subject to debate, filling and boosts energy levels.

For instance, some people are partial to Sweet Potato Omelette because it is super filling and energizing.

On the other hand, you might be someone who enjoys a variety or porridge - Millet, Chocolate Coconut or even Plantain Porridge.

It's all a matter of what you think your body needs at that given time along with personal preference.

I like to rotate between smoothies and Peanut Porridge with the occasional omelette.

Today I wanted to share with you my favourite breakfast smoothie, it's super tasty, thick and naturally sweet thanks to the overripened bananas.

This vegan peanut butter banana smoothie will take less than 10 minutes to whip up and is perfect for those of you who are always on the go or simply want an alternative.

Reasons why you should make this smoothie

  • It's full of fiber, healthy fats and protein (add your favourite protein powder)
  • Dairy free making it suitable for vegans
  • Incredibly filling thanks to the flax and chia seeds
  • Low in fat (great for weight loss or maintenance)

Notes and tips

  • Don't forget to add some of your favourite protein powder to this smoothie - making it a great post workout smoothie if required.
  • Oats are naturally gluten free however, if you are sensitive to trace/cross contamination then use certified gluten free oats.
  • To prevent the banana from turning brown place the banana in Salt Water.
  • Use a vegan friendly powder such as pea protein.
  • If you don't have medjool dates to hand that's okay, other type of dates will work just fine.
  • Be daring and add additional nutritional ingredients such as bee pollen, coconut yoghurt, cacao or even more seeds i.e sunflower seeds.
  • If you are looking for more peanut drinks, you may want to check out my Peanut Punch recipe.
  • Drink your smoothie on the same day and don't leave it to stand overnight.
  • To yield natural occurring sugars use overripe bananas that are frozen.

    Love this added cacao and powdered Irish Sea moss and it tastes delish. I didn't realise dates had seeds though, so the hard pieces were an unwanted surprise lool. But will defo do again, saved quite a few of your recipes. Cheers to a healthier more nourishing 2025!
