I will often make this dairy free Thermomix banana smoothie for breakfast.
In the mornings sometimes I just don’t have the time, focus, energy to deal with brekkie. Especially on the days that I’m trying to get the kids somewhere and it’s all just too much to deal with. However, breakfast is my favourite meal of the day! So I don’t like to miss out. Plus, I do like to take vitamins to support my body so I have to eat…
This is my “go to” breakfast. It is a very quick, easy and nutritious smoothie that I often make on those “crazy” mornings. My husband doesn't like how thick this smoothie recipe is, so for him I add a bit more water to thin it out.
Please let us know if you try the recipe.
We love to hear your feedback.
