With the wheatgerm for carbohydrate, the milk and yoghurt for calcium and protein, and the banana a serve of fruit, this smoothie makes a great way to start the day. If you don’t have any wheatgerm, just leave it out.

  • 1 ripe banana, chopped roughly
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp wheatgerm
  • 1 tbsp yoghurt
  • 200ml milk (you could use full cream, skim or soy milk)

Banana, Honey and Wheatgerm Smoothie Recipe Method

Place ingredients into a blender or into the stick blender cup and whizz until smooth (doesn’t get much easier than that for instant breakfast!).
