This tropical morning smoothie bowl makes for a great nutritional breakfast. Balanced with protein, from the milk, yoghurt and protein powder, carbohydrates from the granola and fruit, and healthy fats from the nut butter, it will keep you feeling full and satiated and help you stay on top of mid-morning cravings.

The milk and yoghurt can be substituted for non-dairy alternatives.

Prep time: 5 mins, freeze fruit the night before for a thicker smoothie

Ingredients

1 banana, frozen

1/4 red dragon fruit

2 tbsp Greek yoghurt

1 tbsp nut butter of choice

Sprinkle of cinnamon

1 cup milk of choice

Ice cubes, if want added thickness

Toppings - pick and choose your favourites

1/4 cup granola, here I used my Maple & Vanilla Granola

Method

Place the banana, dragon fruit, protein powder, yoghurt, nut butter, cinnamon, milk and ice in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add more liquid. If not thick enough, add more ice.

Pour smoothie into a bowl and sprinkle with desired toppings.
