recipe: Banana almond smoothie

Packed with vitamins, minerals and omega-3’s, this is a breakfast smoothie that sticks with you until lunch, and made all the more substantial with the addition of flax seeds. 

ingredients

• 1 medium to large frozen banana (break your bananas into one-inch chunks before freezing)
• 1 heaping spoonful of almond butter (or peanut butter)
• 2 spoonfuls flax seed
• ½ cup almond milk, yogurt or regular milk
• drizzle of honey, agave nectar or maple syrup
• tiny drop of almond extract (or vanilla extract, but the almond extract makes the smoothie taste almost like candy!)

Method

1. Toss all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into a glass and enjoy
