Strawberry and Banana Smoothie
Smoothies are quick and easy. They are very versatile and so delicious. I prefer to freeze my bananas and other fruits for smoothies as I like my smoothies very smooth and cold. I also prefer not to add ice. The other great thing about smoothies is that you can add your protein powders and there…
Oatmeal with egg
I have never been a big fan of oatmeal. My Mum used to try to feed me semolina as a kid with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on top. I would eat all the good stuff off the top and then just be left with a bland heap of semolina. It ended up making me…
