Banana Nut Milkshake

This is a simple, nutritious, delicious, healthy breakfast shake that is quick and easy to make. And you only need three ingredients.

Ingredients

2 bananas
Half a pint of milk
8 almonds

Method

Cut or break the bananas in half. Pour half a pint of milk into a blender. Then chuck in the bananas and nuts - that's it.

Pour into a glass and serve (with a straw).

Serves one, or two (if you use two small glasses).

Nutritional information

I don't have time to research the NI (nutritional information) of a banana, so I will only provide the NI of the amount of milk used. You can use any kind of milk - full fat, semi-skimmed or skimmed.

NI for half a pint (300 ml) of semi-skimmed milk
