Those are chocolate covered espresso beans sinking in on top!
Serves 1:
- 200ml rice milk
- glass of water
- 2 shots espresso
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 80g frozen cherries
- 1 scoop chocoalte protein powder
- 20g Dark Chocolate dreams peanut butter
- 10g Linwoods flax, cocoa and berry mix
- 1/2 tsp Xanthan gum (plus guar gum if you have it)
Put all the ingredients in a blender (liquid first) and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
Edit: I should probably add, after reading Tamzin's comment that I had about 2/3 for breakfast and the rest as a snack before dinner! And I did several hours of walking that day! Normally a breakfast smoothie would be around 300 cals to fit in with my weight loss.
That looks -gorgeous-! Out of interest, are the gums added for thickening or some other purpose?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a tasty smoothie 554 calories is pretty high though? Is that one meal or do you enough for 2? x x
ReplyDeleteLooks good and at least you were able to be produictive whilst waiting fot the Sky man to turn up!
ReplyDeleteI just use it for thickening, adding guar gum adds to creaminess and they work best together apparently but I still haven't got round to ordering any.
ReplyDeletewould it be any good without the banana, am allergic to those bad boys,
ReplyDeleteYeah I think it would be lovely without - it's mostly for thickness as the other flavours are much stronger than the banana anyway!
