Banana and fig smoothie

A productive morning today. All I had for breakfast was the banana and fig smoothie you’re reading the recipe for. Really nourishing, full of energy and, on top of that, incredibly tasty. Just the thing before a bike ride.

I’m also pretty sure this is exactly the breakfast our magnificent volleyball players should have today before the Grand Final 🙂 Are you rooting for them?

Speaking of our volleyball players’ diet, there’s more than one recipe from Prymitywna I’d recommend to them ahead of today’s match. For an early lunch, for instance, a modest serving of pasta with green pesto. And after the match they absolutely must have the energy bars that Kaja makes.

What would you pick for them?

Back to the matter at hand, though: the banana and fig smoothie. Naturally it’s the banana you taste first. Make sure you use a ripe one. The fig is subtler, but it adds a beautiful colour, little seeds that crunch nicely between your teeth and, of course, no end of nutrients, I’m sure. Give it a try.

Ingredients for a little breakfast:

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 fresh fig

I put all the ingredients in the blender jug and blended them thoroughly. Longer than usual, about 85 seconds 🙂 Smoothie ready. Enjoy.
