PEANUT BUTTER, DATE AND CINNAMON PROTEIN SHAKE

This health shake is high in protein and it’s the perfect pick-me-up after a workout, as well as a nutritious breakfast. You can use any of your favourite nut butters (hazelnut works really well) and even add a banana (fresh or frozen) if you want to make it thicker.

SERVES 1

PREP 5 MINUTES

2 tbsp peanut butter

2 tbsp vanilla protein powder

2 tbsp rolled oats

2 medjool dates, stoned (pitted) and chopped

1 tbsp hemp seeds

¼ tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra for sprinkling

240ml (8½fl oz/1 cup) cold almond, soy or coconut milk

100g (4oz/scant ½ cup) 0% fat Greek yoghurt

ice cubes, to serve (optional)

Put all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until thick and smooth.

Pour into a tall glass, dust lightly with cinnamon and drink immediately, with or without ice.

VARIATIONS

 Instead of vanilla protein powder, try another flavour such as chocolate, or some rice protein powder.

 Vary the seeds: try flax, chia or pumpkin seeds.

 For a beautiful green result, add 1 teaspoon matcha powder.

 Instead of cinnamon, use milder ground cardamom.
