Recipe tips
If you want to increase the protein content of this recipe, you can now buy higher protein soya milk.
Feel free to swap in different fruits or add some spinach.
The riper your banana the sweeter it will be. If preferred, you can swap the banana for 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt and a little honey to taste.
You can keep this smoothie in the fridge for 24 hours. You may find that it separates slightly and will need a quick whizz in the blender to bring it back to its best.
Smoothies can be frozen to make healthy ice lollies or thawed to drink later.
To prep ahead, put all the ingredients except the banana in the blender and store in the fridge overnight. In the morning add the banana and blend.
