I of course am not the only amateur chef in the house, my boyfriend David can wield a knife like the best of them and makes one hell of a breakfast smoothie. If you love peanut butter (ahem – like me) then you will want to go to bed now so you can wake up sooner and make this…

Combine the following ingredients in a blender:

1 whole over-ripe banana

1/2 cup of regular raw oats

1 heaping spoonful of peanut butter (he prefers smooth but im a crunchy girl all the way)

Chocolate protein powder optional

Splash of almond milk

5 ice cubes

Dash of chocolate chips (optional)

Serve in a mason jar – because we have broken all of our glasses

You will be sad when you reach the bottom of your glass

Yes these comments are all from Dave but don’t worry you can trust him, and me, it is fantastic!
