This is the time of year many fall off their health-o-lutions, don't be one of them! Here's a delicious and quick shake recipe that can be made as an easy and healthy breakfast or a pre or post workout snack. It's healthy AND delicious!  🏋️

Peanut Butter Oat Smoothie

This smoothie will wake up and give you all the energy to get through a workout.

 Oats are jam-packed full of fibre, which may seem like it could make you more sluggish, but the steady release of carbohydrates into your bloodstream means you'll maintain a consistent energy level throughout your workout. Oats also contain vitamin B, making their conversion to energy that much easier! ⚡

🥛1 cup milk of your choice 

🍌1 medium banana (frozen or ripe)

🥜1 tbsp peanut butter (or any nut butter)

🌾1/2 cup quick cooking oats

🍫2 tbsp raw cacao powder 

Pop into your blender, blend until smooth and pour into your favourite glass to enjoy! 😋

*tip you can also make this as a post-workout smoothie by replacing the oats and cacao powder with a scoop of your favourite chocolate protein powder.*

Looking to make your resolutions stick this year? 🤷

 The power of a morning routine can turn your whole world around .... and no, waking up and guzzling a pot of coffee just to stay awake doesn't count as a morning routine. 🤪

Having a proper morning routine will set the tone for your day, get you excited each morning, give you more energy and allow you to do something for yourself before giving to others. 

Setting up your morning in a way you love, but that also prepares you for whatever curveballs can be thrown at you, is beneficial to your overall wellbeing. So, sub the coffee for some green juice and try implementing these tactics to feel energized in a new way each day! 💚
