Four reasons why you should try this recipe for breakfast...
- It's simple, uses two ingredients (and the whatever additions)
- It's healthy (but doesn't necessarily taste like it)
- It's fast, ready in five minutes
- It can easily fit your dietary preferences- gluten-free & vegan (depending on milk choice)
Especially on warm mornings after a workout, this cools me down like a smoothie, but I find myself eating it slower since I have to actually use a spoon. I feel like I'm eating dessert for breakfast! Consider the pantry your toppings section and get creative with healthy additions.

Banana "Cream" Bowl (for one)
- one whole banana, frozen
- 1/2 cup milk (or vegan version- I use almond milk)
*You'll need a high speed blender, or a food processor. (I used a food processor for a while, but be warned that you'll need to cover the locked lid with a towel and pulse the mixture, because otherwise your "cream" will spray from the lid.)
1. Put the frozen banana in the blender (or food processor) and pour milk over top. Puree until smooth.
Okay, that's it! Now here's where you can get creative. Add in as many "toppings" as you want.
- Add in cinnamon and vanilla and give the mix one more swirl.
- Protein powder is great for post-workouts and will keep you full longer.
- Chop up fresh berries or fruit.
- Add granola, unsweetened coconut or chopped nuts.
