Choc banana smoothie

Whether you need a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack, this smoothie will do the trick. It has a nice balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat and fibre, which will give you energy without a big swing in your blood sugar levels. Omit the raw egg if you are pregnant or for children under one.
