Banana and nut butter smoothie

banana and nut butter smoothie

This is my favourite skin-friendly smoothie recipe. Bananas and almonds are a powerful combination to heal your skin.

The bananas are a prebiotic meaning they provide food for the good bugs in your gut and the almond butter is a source of vitamin E, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids.

With only 3 ingredients, it’s so easy to make and tastes amazing.

It’s a great healthy treat for your family too.  My daughter loves it at breakfast time or anytime she fancies a milkshake snack.

Ingredients

1 cup almond milk
1 banana
1 heaped tablespoon of almond butter

Serves 1

Directions 

Throw everything in a blender, blend then enjoy.

This recipe works well with any kind of milk and nut butter.  Experiment and find your favourite.

Tip: you can add a couple of medjool dates and a sprinkling of cinnamon to make this really indulgent.

Eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables is one of the best things you can do for your skin.
