Smoothies which all feature the brilliant banana
I love bananas for so many things, their versatility, modest price, misunderstood nature (lost count of the number of people who've warned me about potassium poisoning whilst having no awareness that the banana is around the 73rd position on the list of the 'most potassium rich foods out there'. You'll get more potassium from a jacket potato than 3 bananas put together. Anyway enough ramblings.
The following are simple, easy to create recipes designed to share or have as a meal. If the quantities are too big for you then simply adapt proportionally - or make it up and store some as a snack for later.
Do feel free to send me feedback on your thoughts at any point.
With best wishes and fruity love!
