Honey roasted nut smoothie

Ingredients

THE NUTS

• 4 tbsp honey
• Splash water
• 1 cup peanuts - or any other nuts you want to use

THE REST

• 4-6 ice cubes
• 1 banana
• 30g vanilla protein powder
• 1 tbsp yogurt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp peanut butter
• 1 tbsp your honey roasted peanuts

Method

1. If you’re making the peanuts from scratch, preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. For the peanuts, add your honey and a splash of water to a frying pan, putting on medium heat, until the mixture starts to bubble slightly and reduce.
3. Add your peanuts once the honey has started to thicken again, leaving on medium heat & stirring quite often, to make sure all the peanuts are covered.
4. Leave the peanuts on the heat for a couple of minutes, or until there’s no water left, and the nuts are coated and start sticking together.
5. Pour the nuts onto a lined baking tray & spread out as evenly as possible, and sprinkle with salt.
6. Bake for 10 minutes, then stir around and bake for another 10.
7. Remove the nuts from the oven and leave to cool on the side.
8. Once the nuts have cooled down significantly, add them to a blender with the rest of the smoothie ingredients and blend until smooth.
9. Adjust to taste, then serve in a glass with peanut butter & some of your roasted nuts.
