1. Breakfast super-shake

Loaded with natural sugar and fats, this is the shake to make if you've got a busy day ahead. Blitz banana and berries together with yogurt, seeds, honey and cinnamon the night before, pour into a bottle and grab it from the fridge the next morning. Simple!

2. Easy banana muffins

These easy banana muffins use buttermilk to make them extra moist and pecans for those buttery healthy fats. Breakfast muffins make a great on-the-go breakfast as you can prepare them the night before, ready to eat in the morning.

For something different, our delicious breakfast muffins are healthier than your average muffin, using mashed banana and apple sauce for natural sweetness plus blueberries and seeds for an extra nutritious hit.
