Banana, Cacao, Almond & Hemp Smoothie
Unlike many other sweet breakfast options, this smoothie seriously hits the spot without causing chaos with blood sugar levels. It makes a perfect choice either first thing, after a workout or as an afternoon snack. The frozen banana adds a natural sweetness and chilled creamy base whilst the cacao, almond butter, hemp seeds and maca powder bring a variety of nutrients and health benefits, including high in fibre to keep you full all morning. This can either be enjoyed from a glass or take away container, or as a smoothie bowl topped with some chopped nuts, seeds and coconut flakes.
