If I go to the gym in the morning I always have a small bowl of oats, Greek yoghurt and nut butter before I leave – not enough to count it as a proper breakfast but enough to fuel me for an hour – and when I come home, I always like to have a protein-filled smoothie (homemade protein-shake) to re-fuel my muscles and restore my energy! This is the easiest, quickest shake to make and tastes so delicious, combining healthy protein with sweet banana and cinnamon.
To make it, simply blend:
- 1/2 frozen medium banana (or 1 small one)
- 10g cashew nuts
- 1 heaped tbsp protein powder (I used Pulsin Pea Protein but you could substitute for either 2 tbsp hemp seeds or a protein powder of your choice)
- 1 tbsp Cypressa tahini
- 1 large handful spinach
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 300ml cold water
- Optional: Ice to chill
Make sure it’s completely smooth before transferring it to a glass and feeling your muscles grow stronger (kind of…). It’s bursting with healthy ingredients, super energising and the perfect way to fuel your body for the rest of the day!
