This is my favourite smoothie. It’s made from banana, peanut butter, ice and kefir but I nearly always bolster it with chia seeds, psyllium husk and a few dates if my banana isn’t ripe enough. The extra ingredients are optional but if you have them then add them for a fibre boost.

I sometimes add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder if I fancy a chocolate flavoured smoothie and a teaspoon of ground coffee beans is a great addition if you’re in need of caffeine.

Notes

Yoghurt is a good substitute if you don’t have kefir.
