When it comes to making time for breakfast, I know it’s not always easy, but in my opinion, it is super important! Here’s the perfect smoothie recipe to give you an energising lift for your day!

I don’t always rely on coffee, but there has been some research to suggest a little coffee can be quite good for us.

The rule of thumb is for healthy coffee drinking is:

  • it must be freshly ground

  • it must be drunk before 12pm

  • it must be good quality

  • and only 1 shot per day

The Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 shot of espresso or 1 tsp of powdered coffee

  • 500ml of oat milk

  • 1 frozen banana

  • 2 dates

  • 1 tbsp of vanilla or chocolate protein powder

  • 1 tbsp of tahini


Toppings:

  • Yogurt

  • Melted chocolate

  • Cacao nibs


Directions:

Blend the espresso, milk, banana, dates, protein powder and tahini until smooth. Grab your glass and, if you want to, swirl some melted chocolate around the glass then add the smoothie. Top with yogurt and cacao nibs.
