The Ultimate Breakfast Smoothie

I've been experimenting with smoothies this past week and this one is so good, I have to share it with you! The secret ingredient is maca powder - this superfood gives you a burst of energy and really boosts your mood. But aside from all the nutritional benefits, it tastes delicious (quite malty). Combined with a spoonful of peanut butter, it almost tastes like caramel!

Blend all these ingredients together in a blender, sprinkle with flaxseeds and enjoy:

- 4 frozen bananas *

- 2 cups of coconut milk

- 1 tablespoon of peanut butter

- 1 heaping tablespoon of pea or hemp protein (if you're keeping it vegan)

- 1 heaping teaspoon of maca powder

* Never throw out those out, sad looking bananas - they are the perfect base for your smoothies! Just peel, slice and freeze (I put little batches of 3-4 bananas in separate bags or wrap them in cling film).
